2 tbsp Golden Syrup
6oz Self-Raising Flour
3oz Shredded Suet
2oz Caster Sugar
1 Egg
approx 6 tbsp Milk
Butter or Margarine for greasing

1. Grease a (2 pint) pudding basin then place the golden syrup in the bottom on the basin. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, suet and sugar.

3. Make a well in the centre then add the egg and enough milk to give a soft dough which drops easily from a spoon.

4. Pour the dough mixture over the golden syrup in the pudding basin.

5. Cover with pleated greaseproof paper or foil, secure with string then steam for 1½ - 2 hours. Serve hot with custard.

You can also use treacle instead of golden syrup.
