Method

Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Stir in the lemon rind, lemon juice, and eggs until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a well-greased 850ml bowl.

Cover with two pieces of greased greaseproof paper featuring a center fold.

Steam the pudding for six hours and then remove the paper.

Allow any surface fat to be naturally absorbed as the pudding cools.

Once cold, recover with fresh paper and store in a cool place.

Steam for an additional three hours on Christmas morning before serving.

Serve the warmed pudding with brandy sauce or rum butter.
