STEAMED JAM PUDDING

Steps:

• Grease a pudding bowl. Spread the jam in the base of the bowl.
• Cream the butter and the sugar.
• Add the egg beaten well and mix until smooth.
• Sift the flour and the baking powder and add it inches.
• Stir in the milk too and mix well. Pour this mixture gently over the jam in the bowl.
• Cover and seal the bowl with foil and steam in pan filled with 2 cups of boiling water for an hour.
• Check periodically to see that the water at the base has not dried up and top with boiling water if required.
• (I use my pressure cooker and the containers it comes with and simmer for 45 minutes after the first whistle).
• Run a knife along the edge of the pudding and invert into serving platter.
