Ingredients 110g/4 oz raisins 2 tablespoons sherry/dry white wine 60g/2 ½ oz breadcrumbs 50g/ 2 oz flour ½ Tablespoon of baking powder 1-1 ½ teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg 25g/1 oz candied lemon peel 75g/3 oz. butter 50g/2 oz caster sugar (or suet, optional) 1 large egg 6 tablespoons milk
Method Nutmeg and lemon for garnishing. Preheat the oven. In a small bowl soak the raisins in the sherry or wine for about an hour or until they have plumped-up and absorbed all the liquid. In a large bowl mix the flour, breadcrumbs, baking powder and sugar. Mix in the raisins and candid lemon. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat and pour in a dry mixture along with the egg and milk. Mix the batter and fill the greased pudding bowls Bake the puddings in a bain marie for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the puddings. Remove from the oven and leave to stand while you make the sauce
