Preparation
- Put 3 tablespoons of the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the remaining ingredients, except crème fraîche, and mix very well into a loose, chunky batter. Let it rest for a few hours, or refrigerate overnight.
- Thickly grease a ceramic bowl with the remaining butter. Line the bottom of the bowl with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spoon in the batter.
- Cut 2 circles of parchment to fit the top and rest them on the batter. Cook the pudding in a microwave oven, preferably at medium power, for 8 minutes. Insert a skewer or tester into the center. If batter is still wet, continue cooking, 1 minute at a time, until just done.
- Turn onto a plate. Serve slices with crème fraîche or heavy cream.
