Whisk in half the eggs<br \/>\nfollowed by half the flour. Whisk in the remaining eggs and flour. The mixture should be just a dropping consistency (add a splash of milk if it is very thick).<br \/>\nSpoon the mixture into the pudding basin and smooth the surface. Then generously cover the top of the basin<br \/>\nwith some cling film.<\/p>\n<p><em>Create a carrying handle by ripping off a length of cling film that you then scrunch into a long length of cling film string<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Place the middle of this underneath the basin and bring both<br \/>\nsides up to tie a bow at the top This creates an easy handle with which to lift the basin out of the large pan, once it\u2019s cooked.<br \/>\nFill a large casserole dish, or Aga cake baker with a tight-fitting lid, with 5cm of water. Place your pudding basin inside the casserole pan and bring to the boil on the boiling plate. Once it\u2019s been brought to the boil, simmer on the simmering plate for 5 minutes before transferring to the simmering oven.(electricKit aga &#8211; set your oven to 120 degrees) Allow to steam in the simmering oven for between 2 and 2\u00bd hours.<br \/>\nWhen done, carefully lift the basin from the water. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.<br \/>\nUnwrap the pudding from the cling film and place a serving plate\/dish upside down, over the top of the basin. Turn the basin (holding the plate securely beneath it) upside down.<br \/>\nTo serve, spoon the extra syrup (still warming on the back of the Aga) over the pudding. Cut into generous wedges and serve with custard. Stand aside andaccept the loving gratitude graciously.<br \/>\nN.B if not using an Aga then simmer on top of cooker for 2\u00bd hours but you have to stay vigilant, making sure the pot doesn\u2019t boil dry&#8230; this is very important. I let it boil dry many years<br \/>\nago, when working in a pub kitchen. It wasn\u2019t good!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elley will give one to one tuition on your own AGA and in your own Kitchen should you wish to gain some extra knowledge.\u00a0 Please phone 01544 350382 for details<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Syrup Sponge &nbsp;
