Ingredients

  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 100 g vegetable suet
  • Finely-grated zest and juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 medium egg, beaten
  • 2–4 tbsp milk or water
  • 200 g red jam of your choice such as plum, cherry, raspberry or strawberry
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Custard or cream to serve.

Directions

  1. Stir the flour, suet, salt and lemon zest together then work to a firm dough with the lemon juice, egg and milk or water.
  2. Roll out to a rectangle about 25 x 20.5 cm (10 x 8 in) and spread jam to within 2.5 cm (1 in) of the edges. Roll up starting from a short end and seal the edges well with a little water.
  3. Set the roll on a sheet of well buttered foil and wrap, making sure you seal the ends well. If you are feeling traditional use cheesecloth or a shirt sleeve to steam in.
  4. Set in a steamer and steam for 2 hours.
