Notes
If you don’t have a pudding steamer, use a pudding basin and use baking paper and foil to cover. Place 1 sheet baking paper on a flat surface. Top with 1 piece of foil. Fold a 3cm pleat down centre. Cover basin with prepared baking paper and foil. Secure with kitchen string. Trim excess baking paper and foil, so it doesn’t touch water (this can cause the pudding to become soggy).
Steamed puddings: you could place a 20¢ coin in the saucepan base before placing steamer in pan and pouring in water. The coin will rattle while the water is simmering. If it stops rattling it means the water has dried up and needs to be refilled.
