To-day, June 1, marks the official beginning of winter. This is the ideal time for pudds: steamed puddings. Miss Eagle's yummiest favouritest is Miss Schauer's Feather Pudding - 1 with lashings of custard.
Yes, there is a Feather Pudding -2 but Miss Eagle has never got past No. 1 because it is wonderful. It has been particularly wonderful this week with the liberal use of Bette Connop's Blood Plum Jam.
FEATHER PUDDING - 1
Cream 1/4lb butter with same quantity of sugar, add 2 well-beaten eggs (white and yolks beaten separately), 6oz self-raising flour, 1/2 cup milk. Flavour with vanilla. Cover bottom of basin with raspberry jam or golden syrup. Place mixture on. Steam 2 hours quickly. Serve with a suitable sauce.
FEATHER PUDDING - 2
Cream 4oz butter and 2 tablespoons of syrup together, add 1/2 cup milk with 1/4 teaspoon bi-carb. soda mixed in it. Then add 1 1/2 cups well-sieved self-raising flour. Steam for 2 hours, and serve with a syrup sauce.

Hello Miss Eagle
Even here in sunny Qld the thoughts are turning to steamed pud - so thanks for this, it will be a good start, methinks a marmalade variety as I have some languishing in the cupboard. And I really do intend to start a recipe index via TOF Companion site - I see you now have one, so you have inspired me to start ..... (I think .... )
Marmalade sounds scrumptious - and good luck with the index, Jamet
