- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 180 min
- Makes: 1 serving (311 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Contains: beef, dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 65 g Flour, self-rising
- 30 g Beef suet
- 40 g Water
- 1 g Salt
- 35 g Butter, unsalted
- 45 g Sugar, brown
- 90 g Lemons, raw
- 5 g Lemon zest
Method
- Mix the self-rising flour, suet and salt, then stir in the cold water to a soft, non-sticky dough for the suet crust.
- Butter a 350 ml pudding basin. Roll two-thirds of the dough into a circle and press it into the basin, leaving a little overhang.
- Pack half the butter and brown sugar into the base. Wash the lemon and prick it all over with a skewer, then sit it in the middle with the zest, and pack the rest of the butter and sugar around it.
- Roll the remaining dough into a lid, dampen the edges and press it over the filling to seal tightly.
- Cover the basin with pleated buttered baking paper and foil, tie with string, and steam over simmering water for 3 hours, topping up the water as needed.
- Turn the pudding out onto a deep plate so the buttery sugar syrup runs down the sides, then cut into it at the table to release the hot lemon syrup from the whole lemon inside.
