List of Ingredients




55g butter, half softened, the other half melted
350g plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
140g shredded suet
85g caster sugar
115g currants
juice and grated zest of 2 lemons
150ml milk
150ml single cream
custard, to serve


Recipe



Use the softened butter to generously grease a pudding basin.

Place the flour, baking power, suet, sugar and currants in a mixing bowl. Mix in the melted butter.

Stir in the lemon juice and zest and while stirring slowly add the milk and cream mixture to a dropping consistency.

Transfer the mixture into the buttered bowl and cover with pleated greaseproof paper, securing it under the rim with string, to allow room for the pudding to expand.

Steam the pudding for about 1 hour until cooked through.

Serve with custard.
