Apple & Caramel Puddingdesserts 6 oz self-raising flour 3 oz suet 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cold water to mix 4 oz soft brown sugar 1 oz butter 2 large cooking apples Butter the pudding basin thickly with the ounce of butter, then press in 3 ounces of the sugar. Mix the flour, salt and suet together. Add just enough cold water to make a soft. but not sticky dough. Do not overwork or you will get tough pastry. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry and line the buttery, sugary basin. Slice in the peeled and cored apples. Sprinkle in the last ounce of sugar. Make a circle for a lid with the last of the pastry. Moisten the edges to make a firm seal, pinching the two layers of pastry together well. Trim any surplus. Cover with a double layer of greaseproof and steam for two hours. Turn out your pudding for service and a caramel sauce will be coating the outside. Source: Lakeland Plastics |
