• • 3 oz self raising flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp ginger

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1.5 oz suet

• 1.5 oz soft brown sugar (light or dark, your preference)

  • 3 Tablespoons marmalade (lemon, lime,orange or ginger)

  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the marmalade, the eggs and the milk to form a soft mixture.

  3. Put the rest of the marmalade into the bottom of a well greased 2 pint pudding basin. Pour on the mixture, smooth the top and cover with a circle of greaseproof paper. Cover with foil, tied tightly around the rim

  4. Put 2 pints of boiling water into pressure cooker, along with trivet, put the pudding onto trivet, put on lid, without weights, steam for 25 minutes (this allows it to rise)

  6. Remove from heat. Allow to de-pressurise at room temperature.

  7. Remove basin from pan, remove foil and paper, invert on to warm plate, cut into portions and serve with lashings of custard.
