Snowdon Steam Pudding

This is my take on the famous Snowdon Pudding which was first written down by a certain Eliza Acton in 1845.

Climbing Snowdon was all the rage at the time. The pudding was served to walkers and climbers after they returned from a day on the mountains. Not quite the original recipe.

Ingredients:

4oz Raisins
1 oz Glace Cherries
4 oz Beef Suet
4 oz Brown Bread Crumbs
1 oz Ground Rice
4 oz Castor Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Tablespons of Marmalade
2 Tablespoons water
Rind of a lemon

Method:

Beat or whisk the eggs, marmalade and water. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Keep the mix on the wet side. Place into a bowl and cover with grease proof paper or foil.Steam for 2 – 2 ½ hours.

Serve with custard or rum sauce.
