Raisin English pudding is a traditional dessert with its roots in British cuisine, where it is known as "Christmas pudding." This preparation became popular in Latin America during the colonial era and, depending on the country, it goes by different names. For example, in Argentina and Uruguay it is commonly called "budín inglés," while in Mexico and Central America it may be found as "pudín" or "budín de frutas." This sweet treat is especially appreciated during festive seasons, like Christmas, for its dense texture and slightly sweet flavor thanks to the raisins inside.
Over time, different variants have emerged, but raisin English pudding maintains its essence: a delicate mixture of dry ingredients and a water bath cooking process that guarantees a soft and moist texture. Its European origin and Latin American adaptation make it an emblematic dessert that unites cultures and culinary traditions.
