Custard Puddings

6 servings


Ingredients:

115g suet
120g dried apricots, chopped
240g raisins or sultanas
1 orange, zested
120g plain flour
120g sugar
120g bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated ginger, to taste
Pinch grated nutmeg
Pinch salt
1 egg, beaten
140ml milk


Method:

• Grease a 1 liter pudding basin. Mix all the ingredients together, except the egg and milk. Add the beaten egg and milk and mix well. Do this in a mixer or you can do it by hand.
• Put the mixture in the basin, cover with tin foil or a cloth, and put the basin in a pan with water half-way up the sides of the basin. Bring the water to a boil, put on a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 3 hours, remembering to top up with (add more) boiling water now and then.
