Steps

  • Grease a 1.7 litre pudding basin with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Combine breadcrumbs, flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt butter with marmalade in a pan over low heat without boiling.
  • Mix the butter and marmalade mixture into the dry ingredients thoroughly.
  • Whisk eggs until light and stir into the marmalade mixture.
  • Dissolve bicarbonate of soda in 15ml of cold water and stir into the pudding mixture.
  • Pour mixture into the basin and let stand for five minutes.
  • Cover tightly with a lid or foil secured with string.
  • Simmer in a water bath for two hours, maintaining water level halfway up the basin.
  • Place vanilla pod and seeds into a pan for the custard.
  • Add 300ml cream and 300ml milk and bring slowly to a boil.
  • Whisk egg yolks and caster sugar in a clean bowl until pale.
