Frequently Asked Questions About Molasses pudding
What is molasses pudding?
Molasses pudding is a traditional Turkish sweet made by thickening flour with liquid and sweetening it with molasses, usually grape molasses. Recipes vary by household and region, so the texture can range from spoonable and soft to quite firm when chilled.
How do you make molasses pudding?
To make molasses pudding, whisk flour with cold water until smooth, then cook it with molasses over gentle heat, stirring until thick. Pour it into serving bowls while warm; it will usually become firmer as it cools.
What kind of molasses is used in molasses pudding?
Grape molasses is the usual choice for molasses pudding and gives it a familiar fruity, rich flavor. Other fruit molasses can work, but they change the taste, so adjust the amount to suit the sweetness and intensity of the molasses you use.
Why does molasses pudding turn lumpy?
Molasses pudding turns lumpy when flour is added to hot liquid without being mixed smooth first. Whisk the flour with cold water, pour that mixture in gradually, and keep stirring as it heats so the starch thickens evenly.
Is molasses pudding the same as Turkish bulamaç?
Molasses pudding and bulamaç can refer to closely related flour-thickened Turkish sweets, but the names and recipes vary by region. Pekmezli bulama specifically gets its sweetness from pekmez, or fruit molasses; other bulamaç versions may use different ingredients.
How should molasses pudding be served?
Molasses pudding can be served warm or chilled in small bowls. It is often enjoyed plain, though some home recipes add a topping such as chopped nuts; chilling makes the flour-thickened pudding firmer and easier to portion.
Can you make molasses pudding without flour?
Not in the traditional flour-thickened form: flour is what gives molasses pudding its characteristic body. Replacing it with another thickener would create a variation rather than the usual recipe, and the cooking method may need to change.
How long does molasses pudding keep in the fridge?
Keep molasses pudding covered in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Use a clean spoon when serving, and reheat a portion gently with a little water if it has become too firm; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Is molasses pudding a healthy dessert?
Molasses pudding is still a sweet dessert, even though its sweetness comes from molasses rather than table sugar. Enjoying a modest portion is a practical way to include it, especially if you are watching how often you eat sweet foods.
Can molasses pudding be made ahead for a gathering?
Yes, molasses pudding can be made ahead and chilled in individual bowls. It thickens as it cools, so cover the portions to prevent a skin from forming and serve them cold, or warm them gently before serving.

What is Molasses pudding?
Molasses pudding is a traditional Turkish, flour-thickened sweet made by cooking flour with water and sweetening it with grape pekmez. It has a soft, spoonable texture, somewhere between porridge and a thick pudding, with the deep fruity sweetness of the syrup.
In Turkey it is made at home and served as a dessert or filling snack, warm or cooled; chopped walnuts make a natural topping. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with little fat. If you prefer a less-sweet bowl, use less pekmez and adjust the consistency with water.
