Method

Steam the puddings in a steamer or partially submerged in a simmering water bath for 45 minutes.

Whisk the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, and extract in a bowl for two minutes.

Divide the batter between the moulds and tap to remove air pockets.

Butter four 175ml dariole moulds and line the bases with baking parchment discs.

Loosen the edges with a knife, invert onto plates, and serve immediately with custard.

Place one liquorice spiral in the base of each prepared mould.

Cover each mould with pleated parchment and foil, securing tightly with string.
