Method

  1. Lightly butter a 1.4-litre pudding basin and line the base with a circle of baking paper.
  2. Mix together the dry ingredients, then stir in the other ingredients until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the basin and cover with a circle of buttered baking paper. Fold a pleat into a piece of foil and arrange over the pudding. Secure with string.
  3. Carefully place the pudding in a pan of boiling water, making sure the water comes a third of the way up the side of the basin. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and steam gently for 5 hours.
  4. Turn out the pudding and serve dusted with icing sugar.
