Ingredients

150 g	sponge cakes or sponge fingers
75 g	sugar
100	sultanas
50 g	glacÚ cherries
600 ml	milk
3 large	eggs
	rum or madeira

Instructions

Sometimes Boudoir biscuits are used to line the base and bottom of the basin, but stale sponge cake is used for the intermediate layers and to finish. But one product can be used throughout. It is also common to sprinkle extra rum or madeira on the lining.

Soak the sultanas and cherries in a glass of rum or madeira.

Butter a large pudding basin and sprinkle with inside with sugar.

Arrange cake pieces or sponge fingers upright around the rim of the basin. Fill any large gaps with pieces. Fill the bottom in the same manner. Add alternate layers of soaked fruit topped with more cake or biscuits and sprinkled with a little sugar. Set aside.

Make a custard. Heat the milk in a saucepan until simmering but not boiling. Whisk the eggs with 2 tsp of sugar and pour the hot milk over the egg mixture. Whisk to mix well and pour the custard mix slowly into the basin, allowing time for the custard to soak in before topping up further.

Make a cover of pleated foil and tie it in place with string. Make a loop with extra string to help lift the pudding into and from the steamer.

Place in the top section of a steamer, Fill the lower part with boiling water and steam for an hour. Check steamer occasionally to ensure that water level is satisfactory and top up when necessary and do not allow it to boil dry.

Cut into wedges to serve and serve hot with freshly made custard or cream. Remainder may be eaten cold as it is almost as delicious.
