About

For this pudding you will need a large (about 1.4 litre/2½ pint) pudding basin and a saucepan big enough to hold it - worthwhile investments if you want steamed puddings in your life (see the other recipes).

225 g (8 oz) self-raising flour

Dessert

Method

Scrub the lemon to remove any sprays or waxes and prick it all over with a fork. Mix the flour and suet together and gradually add the milk and water until you have a firm dough.

Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a large circle. Cut out a quarter of the circle for the lid of the pudding, and use the remainder to line a buttered 1.4 litre (2½ pint) pudding bas
