• 4 cups self raising flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 dessertspoon dripping
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 500g (1lb) currants

Dissolve dripping in a pint of hot water.

Mix flour, nutmeg, currants and sugar together then add the hot water and dripping. Add more water until you have a sloppy mixture, but not runny.

When all mixed put into a cloth (like a christmas pudding) and boil for 3 hours.

Serve with custard.

Tips

• Place a saucepan in the bottom of the pot to stop the pudding from sticking to the bottom
• Make sure the water is boiling before you place the pudding in.
