Prepare your pudding basin by greasing it generously with butter and lining the bottom with a small circle of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded suet, breadcrumbs, golden raisins, currants, mixed peel, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl or measuring jar, beat the eggs and mix them with the milk and brandy (if using).
Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until everything is combined into a thick, sticky batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pudding basin, pressing it down gently and leveling the top. Leave about 2 cm of space from the top to allow the pudding to expand during cooking.
Cover the top of the basin with a layer of parchment paper and a layer of aluminum foil, pleated in the center to allow for expansion. Tie securely around the rim of the bowl with kitchen string.
Place the pudding basin in a large pot with enough boiling water to cover halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the pudding on low heat for 3 hours. Add more boiling water as needed to maintain the level during cooking.
After 3 hours, carefully remove the pudding basin from the pot. Remove the foil and parchment paper, and let the pudding cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Run a knife around the edges of the pudding to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving plate. Slice and serve warm with custard, cream, or your favorite sauce.
