- Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well, making sure that there are no pockets of flour or breadcrumbs.
- Divide the mixture between 8 individual (about 250ml) buttered moulds or 2 x 1 litre ones. Cut a circle of greaseproof paper and a circle of foil to cover the top of each, lay one on top of the other and make a pleat in the centre. Lay over the pudding basins and tie firmly onto the top of each with a piece of string. Put into a pan on a trivet or upturned saucer, add boiling water to come a quarter of the way up the basins, cover and steam for 4 hours, or longer if you prefer. Top up with water if you need to. The longer you steam the puddings the darker the mixture will get.
- Steam again for an hour before serving.
