Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Have ready a sheet of foil or a double thickness of grease proof paper brushed with melted margarine.

For the pudding crust, sift the flour and the salt. Rub-in the margarine. Add the sugar and sultanas. Mix in the water to make a soft dough.

Turn out onto a floured board and form into a roll.

Wrap loosely but securely in the grease-proof paper or foil. Tie or seal the ends.

Place in the steamer and cover tightly. Steam for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Serve with hot custard sauce or sprinkle with icing sugar.
