Method

Sift the flour into a basin, add the suet, salt, a little grated lemon rind and 2-3 teaspoons of the sugar. Make a well in the centre of the mixture, trickle in the egg and milk or water, and work with the hand into a soft dough. Place the dough in a big, greased pudding basin, and make a hole in the centre with your fist. Work the dough up the sides, so that there is plenty of room in the hole
