Back in 1986 the Daily telegraph published an article on 'Everyone's Favourite Pudding' - voted for in November 1936. Steamed Suet Pudding was what the nation loved so here is the 'winning' recipe that won a whole guinea!
½lb S.R.Flour
4 oz shredded suet
5oz chopped dates
1 cupful of milk
1 egg
1 cupful golden syrup
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Cream suet and syrup together. Add well beaten egg. Stir in flour and milk alternately, mixing all well together but do not beat. Dissolve soda in the last of the milk and add to the mixture. Lastly add the dates.
Turn all into a well greased pudding basin, cover with greaseproof paper and a cloth tied down. Steam for 2½ hours.
Just imagine it. How about blackberry and apple as an alternative served with lashings of proper custard. Or Jam served so hot it burns your tongue. Or figgy pudding ......... Hungry yet?
