Marmalade Pudding (receta de Violet)

Posted by: Stephanie Today we went to the sitio and Daniel found a loose piece of paper with one of Granny’s recipes on it:

•  6oz flour
• 3oz bread crumbs
• 3oz suet
• 3oz sugar
• 6oz marmalade
• 2 tsps baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 2-3 eggs (3 if small) 
• raisins
• sultanas
• For serving: marmalade/sweet-sauce/cream

A little milk to make it a soft mixture but not runny. Mix flour, baking powder, suet, salt, and sugar well together. Beat the eggs and add the marmalade. Then stir into other ingredients. Beat lightly. If too stiff, add a little milk. Line a basin with raisins and sultanas, pour in mixture, cover with paper and steam for 2.5 hours. Serve with marmalade or sweet-sauce or cream.
