Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, suet, raisins, dark corn syrup, water, 1 teaspoon of salt, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Transfer the pudding batter into a well-greased large mold or double boiler. Steam over 1 inch of simmering (not boiling) water, ensuring the mold is tightly covered. Steam until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Steaming time: 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Check after 1 hour).

03

Step

While the pudding steams, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and unsalted butter. Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, velvety sauce. (Sauce prep & cook time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve the warm pudding generously drizzled with the warm sauce. Enjoy immediately. (Plating time: 5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider soaking the raisins in rum or brandy for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the batter.
Ensure the water in the double boiler remains at a gentle simmer throughout the steaming process. Replenish as needed to maintain the water level.
If you don't have a double boiler, a large pot with a heat-safe bowl set on top will work. Just make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Leftover pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Chopping the suet very finely will improve the pudding's texture.
