The Beginner-Friendly Recipe Steps

Step 1: Prep the Blood
Use fresh pork blood or thaw and filter supermarket pork blood (check underwater slaughter facilities or dedicated suppliers). Strain to remove impurities—this ensures a smooth pudding without grit.

Final Thoughts

Step 2: Combine Basics
In a medium bowl, whisk together Sanky powder and brown sugar evenly. Add cold butter cubes, cracking them into the mix as you stir. This helps maintain air pockets and a silky texture.

Step 3: Integrate Blood
Slowly pour in and mix in the pork blood (add a splash of vinegar for better consistency if needed). Keep stirring gently—no lumps allowed!

Step 4: Add the Egg & Finish
Whisk in the egg until fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken slightly—if too stiff, stir in a splash of warm water or milk. Season with a pinch of salt.

Step 5: Cook & Set
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or ramekins. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40–50 minutes or until firms and slightly set on top.

Step 6: Serve Warm or Cold
Best enjoyed warm with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries. Top with extra Sasky batter for a playful crunch.
