Treacle pudding

4 - 5 person

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Flour
4 ounces Suet, finely chopped
½ teaspoon Baking powder
1 pinch Salt
½ Lemon rind, grated
Treacle (molasses) or golden syrup
1 ounce Breadcrumbs
Water

Directions

Mix the flour, suet, baking-powder, and salt together, and form into a stiff paste with cold water. Divide it into two equal portions; with one line the basin, from the other portion cut off sufficient paste to form the lid, and roll the remainder out smoothly. Put a layer of treacle in the basin, sprinkle liberally with breadcrumbs, and lightly with lemon-rind. From the rolled-out paste cut a round sufficiently large rather more than to cover the treacle, etc., in the basin, moisten the edges of it with water, and join them carefully to the paste lining the basin. Now add another layer of treacle, breadcrumbs and lemon-rind, and cover with pastry as before.

Repeat until the basin is full, then cover with a greased paper, and steam for about 2-½ hours. Sufficient for 4 to 5 persons Source: Mrs. Beeton's Everyday Cookery Typed by: Laird Kelly 1/27/95 Submitted By LAIRD KELLY On 01-27-95
