Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp softened butter or coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup milk of your choice
  • 1/2 cup thick jam

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter or oil until well combined. Pour in the milk and gather the dough into a ball.
  • Turn dough out onto floured surface and roll 1/4" thick. Spread with jam. Gently roll into a log-shape. Some jam might squeeze out at this point, don't worry about it.
  • Place on a piece of parchment paper, fold in the ends, and roll the paper until the pudding is completely covered. Alternatively, you can cut the pudding in half and place in a greased glass bowl. Cover the bowl with a piece of cotton or parchment paper and secure with an elastic band or piece of string.
  • Place pudding in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 45 minutes. Remove from the parchment and serve.
