Rich Christmas Pudding Instructions:- Lightly grease 4x600ml/1 pint or 2x1.2 litre/2 pint pudding basins.
- In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the eggs and brandy and mix well.
- Spoon the mix into basins. Put a circle of baking parchment and foil over the top of each basin and tie securely with string. Make a string handle from one side of the basin to the other so it is easier to pick the basin out of the pan after cooking.
- Put the basins in a large steamer of boiling water and cover with a lid. Boil for 5-6 hours, topping the boiling water up from time to time, if necessary.
If you do not have a steamer, put the basins in a large pan on inverted saucers on the base. Pour in boiling water to come a third of the way up the sides of the pudding bowls. Cover and steam as before. - Cool. Change the baking parchment and foil covers for fresh ones and tie up as before. Store in a cool cupboard until Christmas Day.
- To serve: steam for 2 hours and serve with brandy butter, rum sauce, cream or homemade custard.
