Steamed raisin pudding

Method

1. Grease a 850ml pudding basin with butter.

2. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, flour, raisins and suet together. Add a pinch of salt, the mixed spice and orange rind.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and rum together, then add to the dry mix, stirring well.

4. Fill the pudding basin with the mixture, cover with greaseproof paper and foil and tie with string. Steam for about 4 hours.

5. For the syrup, heat the sugar and rum together in a saucepan and whisk in the butter to make a shiny syrup.

6. Turn the pudding out onto a heated dish and serve with the syrup.
