Ingredients

125 g beef or vegetable suet
250 g plain flour
125 g oatmeal
250 g mixed sultanas and currants
1 tbsp golden syrup
75 g sugar
2 medium eggs, beaten
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp milk
1 tbsp flour, to powder the cloth

Instructions

Rub the suet into the flour and add the oatmeal, baking powder, fruit and spices. Blend together and add the eggs and syrup. Stir well and add just enough milk to make a firm dough.

If using a cloth, soften the cloth in boiling water and place it on your work surface. Sprinkle the inside of the cloth liberally with the extra flour. Ease the mixture into the centre of the cloth and bring the corners together, tie with string but leave space for expansion during cooking.

Place a saucer upside down on the bottom of a deep saucepan and place the pudding on top of that. Cover with boiling water and simmer for 3 hours. Top up with more water if the level falls.

If making in a bowl, grease the inside of the bowl generously. Add the mixture but allow one inch, 25mm of space at the top for expansion. Cover with greaseproof paper. Take a length of foil and fold it in half so that its length is at least twice the diameter of the bowl. Make a double fold in the shape of the letter ‘Z’ near the centre and tie the foil to the bowl. The fold will also allow for expansion. Steam, rather than boil, in a steamer for at least 3 hours. Check water levels and top up whenever necessary.

The cooked pudding is traditionally also baked in a hot oven for a few minutes to dry the skin of the pudding.

Slice or cut into wedges to serve, whilst hot. Can also be eaten cold as a snack. It is never served with cream, custard or other accompaniments.
