Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Grease a 1.2-litre pudding basin with butter and set aside.
Aproximativ 1 min.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, shredded suet, currants, caster sugar, and lemon zest.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure all ingredients are well distributed.
3
Gradually add the milk, mixing with a knife or your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Avoid overworking the dough to keep the pudding light.
4
Press the dough into the prepared pudding basin, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Aproximativ 2 min.
5
Cut a circle of baking parchment and then a circle of foil, both larger than the top of the basin.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The foil should be large enough to create a pleat in the middle.
6
Place the baking parchment directly on top of the dough in the basin, then cover with the foil, making a pleat in the center of the foil to allow for expansion.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Secure the foil tightly around the rim of the basin with string.
7
Place the pudding basin in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Pour boiling water into the pot until it comes about two-thirds of the way up the side of the pudding basin.
Aproximativ 1 min.
9
Bring the water to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot and steam for 2 hours, topping up with hot water as needed.
Aproximativ 2 ore
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the water never boils dry.
10
Carefully remove the pudding basin from the pot and let it stand for 5 minutes.
Aproximativ 5 min.
11
Remove the foil and parchment, then invert the pudding onto a serving plate.
Aproximativ 1 min.
12
Slice and serve warm, ideally with hot custard.
