RECIPE INFO:

1. Make sure the yam is good quality...not bitter...nice and dry 😁 it can ruin the pudding if it's not good.

2. You could use two 8 inch cake tins or two 9 inch cake tins. For smaller tins, the pudding will be a bit taller. I used an 8 inch and a 9 inch.

3. Concerned about aluminum foil use? Try placing a baking tray - hot water bath on the shelf below the puddings while they bake to help with moisture

4. The more flour used, the more dense the pudding will be. More flour added, takes away from flavour so don't add too much.

5. The pudding is usually ready under 2 hrs because this is a small batch.
