Directions

Step 1

Grease a 1-liter pudding basin with butter and set it aside.

Step 2

Pour the golden syrup into the base of the prepared pudding basin, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and light brown sugar until pale and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon and orange zests, as well as the ground ginger, for a zesty and spiced flavor profile.

In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, self-raising flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.

Step 7

Add the milk and gently mix until a smooth batter is formed. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Spoon the batter into the pudding basin over the golden syrup. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Cover the pudding basin with a layer of parchment paper, followed by a layer of foil, and tie it securely with kitchen string.

Step 10

Place the pudding basin into a large pot and fill the pot with boiling water until it comes halfway up the sides of the basin.

Step 11

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam the pudding over low heat for 1.5 hours, checking occasionally to top up the water if necessary.

Step 12

Carefully remove the pudding basin from the pot and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.
