📝 Preparation Steps
1
Grease a medium, 1-liter pudding basin well with butter. Alternatively, you can use a heat resistant bowl.
2

3
Add the butter and rub in using your fingers or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

7
Cover the pudding with a circle of greaseproof paper, followed by foil, and then tie in place with string.
8
In a large pot, place in a steamer. Pour in enough boiling water to reach the base of the steamer. If you don't have a steamer you can place the basin on an upturned plate.
9
Cover and steam for roughly 1 ½-⏱️ 2 hrs, topping up with water when necessary.
10
While still warm, remove the parchment and foil and turn the pudding onto a serving plate. Do this step while it's warm so the sticky golden syrup layer stays in tack. Serve the pudding hot with Creme Anglaise or vanilla ice-cream. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
