Pouding chômeur or poor man's pudding is a traditional Quebec’s dessert that was created in 1929 during the Great Depression, period of massive layoff in the industrial neighborhoods of Montreal. Families had few resources and the recipe vas very simple and cheep to make. It spread rapidly in Montreal and its surroundings. The dessert has become a classic of the Quebec cuisine. Caroline’s version of the recipe is modern because it is gluten-free. She uses rice flour and flax meal. The result is surprising!
