Ingredients

   175g/6oz Self Raising Flour

   A pinch of Salt

   75g/3oz Shredded Suet

   A little water to mix

   5 tbsp Jam

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas mark 6. Place the flour, suet and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Make a well in the centre of the mixture then gradually add enough water to form a soft dough.
 
2. Knead lightly until smooth.
 
3. Turn onto a floured surface and roll out to an oblong about 22x28cm/9 x 11 inches.
 
4. Spread the jam out on the dough leaving a 2.5cm/1 inch border then roll up from the shorter end. Seal with cold water.

5. Wrap the roll in a piece of folded parchment/greaseproof paper then wrap in folded foil and place in a roasting tin, seam down. Bake for 40 minutes, undoing the foil and paper 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Serve hot with custard.
 
N.B. This can also be steamed or boiled. Make a large pleat in greaseproof paper or a clean tea towel to allow for expansion, wrap the pudding loosely, tying each end with string (like a Xmas cracker). Allow 2 hours cooking time.
