There is another pudding recipe in our family. This one was made by my Grandma/Mary. It is made in a dish rather than a cloth and I have not attempted to make one this way before. I think this makes a large pudding.

Sieve
Plain Flour 250g
Self Raising Flour 60g
Salt 1 tsp
Mixed Spice 1 tsp
Cinnamon 1 tsp
Nutmeg 1 tsp

rub into the above
Butter 125g
Suet or Butter 125g (suet is grated)

then add
Breadcrumbs 250g fresh

Brown Sugar 375g
Raisins 375g
Sultanas 375g
Currants 375g
Shredded almonds 60g

Not Dry

Eggs 6

add
Milk 1 cup
Brandy or Rum 2 tablespoons
Treacle 1 tablespoon
