Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup shredded Beef suet (scant)
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup Currants
  • 1 unwaxed Orange (finely grated zest)
  • 0.375 cup milk
  • Custard

Instruction

  • Grease 4 individual pudding basins.
  • Mix together the flour, suet, sugar, currants and orange zest in a mixing bowl and stir well. Pour in the milk and mix to a soft dropping consistency.
  • Spoon the mixture into the basins (leaving room for the puddings to rise) and smooth the top. Cover with a lid or a double thickness of pleated greaseproof paper, then with a double thickness of pleated foil. Tie securely and place in a large pan and pour in boiling water to come halfway up the basins.
  • Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, topping up with boiling water as needed, until risen and spongy to the touch.
  • Turn out and serve with custard.
