Ingredients

• 120 grams Unsalted butter (softened, plus extra for greasing)
• 120 grams Caster sugar
• 2 pieces Eggs (large)
• 120 grams Self-raising flour
• 2 tablespoons Milk (whole)
• 6 tablespoons Orange marmalade
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare your pudding basin by greasing it generously with butter. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the basin, and another to cover the top of the pudding later on.

Step 2

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy.

Step 3

3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 4

4. Gently fold in the self-raising flour, being careful not to overmix, followed by the milk. If using, fold in the orange zest to enhance the citrus flavor.

Step 5

5. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the marmalade into the base of the greased pudding basin, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

6. Pour the remaining batter into the pudding basin, smoothing the top with a spatula. Be sure to leave some room at the top as the pudding will rise during steaming.

Step 7

7. Cover the top of the pudding with the parchment circle and then a layer of aluminum foil. Secure tightly with kitchen string or an elastic band.

Step 8

8. Place the pudding basin in a large, deep saucepan. Fill the pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 9

9. Steam the pudding over low heat for 90 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the water level is maintained. Add more boiling water if necessary.

Step 10

10. Once cooked, carefully remove the basin from the saucepan and peel away the foil and parchment. Run a knife around the edges of the pudding, then invert it onto a serving plate.

Step 11

11. Warm the remaining 4 tablespoons of marmalade in a small pan or microwave, and drizzle it over the hot pudding.

Step 12

12. Serve the pudding immediately with custard, cream, or ice cream for a delightful dessert.
