Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

250g self-raising flour
pinch of salt
125g shredded suet
180g currant
80g caster sugar
finely grated zest 1 lemon
finely grated zest 1 small orange
150ml whole milk, plus 2-3 tbsp
custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Put the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the suet, currants, sugar, lemon and orange zest.
  • Pour in 150ml milk and mix to a firm but moist dough, adding the extra milk if necessary.
  • Shape into a fat roll about 20cm long. Place on a large rectangle of baking parchment. Wrap loosely to allow for the pudding to rise and tie the ends with string like a Christmas cracker.
  • Place a steamer over a large pan of boiling water, add the pudding to the steamer, cover and steam for 1½ hours. Top up the pan with water from time to time.
  • Remove from the steamer and allow to cool slightly before unwrapping. Serve sliced with custard.
