Suet Pudding

A plain steamed suet pudding, the backbone of the British nursery table: soft flour-and-suet sponge steamed in a basin over golden syrup, turned out so the syrup runs down the sides.

Instructions

  1. Put a trivet or an upturned saucer in a deep pan, pour in enough water to come halfway up a 300 ml pudding basin and set it on a low heat to come to a simmer. Grease the inside of the basin thoroughly with 1 tsp of soft butter, right up to the rim.
  2. Spoon 2 tbsp of golden syrup into the bottom of the greased basin and leave it to settle in an even pool.
  3. In a bowl, stir together 75 g of self-raising flour, 35 g of shredded beef suet, 25 g of caster sugar and 1 pinch of fine salt, rubbing with your fingertips so the suet shreds are separated and coated in flour.
