Here's my intended method:20oz Gluten-free Self-Raising Flour

10oz Shredded Suet

half pint Milk

12oz Raisins

6oz Castor Sugar

2 Lemon fine-cut peel

Pinch Salt



Mix all of the dry ingredients

Add enough milk to produce a soft dough

Roll on a floured surface until 8 inches long and cylindrical

Wrap loosely in a floured cloth, leaving enough space for it to rise

Secure both ends

Steam for more than 2 hours



Which, with sufficient custard, ought to shut the guests up for the afternoon.
sounds nice:)hope its proper custard too:D

We don't eat just plain custard here, its always in pastry, pies. etc.

I was checking Mrs Beeton for alternatives and found thisAUNT NELLY’S PUDDING.

1224. INGREDIENTS - 1/2 lb. of flour, 1/2 lb. of treacle, 1/2 lb. of suet, the rind and juice of 1 lemon, a few strips of candied lemon-peel, 3 tablespoonfuls of cream, 2 eggs.

Mode.—Chop the suet finely; mix with it the flour, treacle, lemon-peel minced, and candied lemon-peel; add the cream, lemon-juice, and 2 well-beaten eggs; beat the pudding well, put it into a buttered basin, tie it down with a cloth, and boil from 3–1/2 to 4 hours.

Time.—3–1/2 to 4 hours. Average cost, 1s. 2d.

Sufficient for 5 or 6 persons.

Seasonable at any time, but more suitable for a winter pudding.



I'm sorely tempted...

Suet is raw beef or mutton fat, especially the hard fat found around the loins and kidneys.
