- Cover pudding with greaseproof paper and secure with string or tinfoil.
- Place pudding in a saucepan with water half way up the side.
- Cover and steam for 5 hours or longer. The longer the pudding cooks the richer and darker it becomes.
- Top up saucepan with boiling water as required and don't let it boil dry.
To steam pudding in oven:
- Put two long strips of tin foil crosswise on work top.
- Place roasting tin on foil. Sit pudding bowl into the tin and fill with boiling water to within 2cms/1" of top of tin.
- Then bring tin foil around to form a parcel, which should be airtight to prevent any steam escaping.
- Place in preheated oven at 150°C/300°F/Gas 2 for the same length of time as above. There is no need to top up with water during cooking.
To serve:
- Steam pudding for 1-2 hours. Serve warm with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, pouring cream, brandy butter or custard!
