Description
Traditional South African dessert made with apricot jam, sugar, and flour.
Technical
The preparation of malva pudding involves cooking a mixture of apricot jam, sugar, and flour on the stovetop, followed by baking in the oven. The chemical reaction of gelatinization occurs when the starches in the flour are heated, resulting in a thickened pudding. The Maillard reaction also takes place, contributing to the development of the pudding's flavor and aroma.
