Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 3/4 cups dried currants
  • 1/2 pound suet, finely grated
  • 1 cup milk

Method

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Stir in the currants, breaking them apart (the flour will coat them and keep them from clumping together).
  • Mix in the suet.
  • Add the milk and eggs, and work the mixture thoroughly with your hands.
  • Scrape the batter into a greased six-cup pudding-basin.
  • Tie a well-floured cloth over the pudding.
  • Put the pudding in a pot of boiling water, cover, and steam for two hours.
  • Unmold and serve hot, accompanied by custard sauce.
