method
1. Grease a 1 litre (1 3/4 pint) pudding basin.
2. Three-quarters fill a large saucepan with vater and bring to the boil.
3. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat well, adding sufficient milk to give a dropping consistency.
4. Spoon the mixture into the basin, cover with greased greaseproof paper or foil and a floured cloth. Secure with string.
5. Carefully lower the basin into the pan of boiling water. Cover the pan and lower the heat so that the water is kept at a steady simmer.
6. Cook the pudding for 4 - 5 hours.
7. Serve from the basin or leave for 5 - 10 minutes at room temperature to firm up, then turn out on to a serving plate.
8. Serve with warmed golden syrup and whipped cream or with a citrus-flavoured sauce.
