Before the wiseacres get going, it is a steamed sponge pudding with a syrup sauce. Here is a recipe from the London Cordon Bleu: 8 oz. self raising flour pinch of salt 4 oz. butter 2 rounded tablespoons caster (regular) sugar 6 oz. currants, washed 2 eggs a little milk Mix salt and flour in a bowl and rub in butter as you would for pastry. Then stir in sugar and currants. Whisk eggs and stir into mixture. Add a little milk if needed to thin to dropping consistency. Completely fill to the top one large or several smaller well buttered ramekins. Top with a buttered piece of parchment paper. Top this with foil and tie down with string. Steam for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Invert on a plate for serving. Top with a syrup sauce. Syrup Sauce Add 1 tablespoon of water to 2 tablespoons light Karo and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Heat just to the boiling point and immediately pour over pudding. -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia Hill at . Only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
