How to Flame a Christmas Pudding	1. Turn out the Christmas pudding onto a hot plate. 2. Put 3-4 tablespoons of brandy or rum into a small saucepan and warm gently without letting it boil. 3. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the hot alcohol onto the plated pudding. 4. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a lighter straight away. 5. Before the flame subsides, tilt the serving plate and spoon any liquid back over the pudding. The flame will disappear when all the alcohol has burnt away. 6. Allow the flames to subside before serving.
