Plum pudding

This Christmas pudding still fills me with nostalgia when I make it, I always helped my mother to make it in early November. I make it as early as possible to let it mature. It's still written on the original paper. My 4 children and 8 grandchildren look forward to it every Christmas.

- Sift flour with salt and spices.
- Beat eggs. Mix everything together with stout and whisky. Get the family and any callers to have a stir and make a wish ( this is very important!). Cover and leave overnight.
- Next day stir well again and fill into 2- 3 pint bowls (bowls must be well greased). Cover with foil and steam for 6 hours.
- Allow 2 hours cooking time to heat through, on the day, before eating. Keeps well in the fridge!

this is the 3rd year of using this recipe the family love it .. I also adapt it to a gluten free recipe for myself by just exchanging the breadcrumb for gluten free bread and using gluten free flour and 1 tsp of baking powder - 19 Nov 2012
