Ingredients

    2 cups plain flour
    1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
    150g grated butter
    750g mixed fruit, raisins, currants, sultanas
    2 teaspoons Chelsea Treacle
    1 egg
    1 cup of Chelsea White Sugar
    pinch salt
    1 teaspoon mixed spice
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    milk (sufficient to mix ingredients to a stiff dough)

Method

    Have on hand a clean old tea-towel, string and deep saucepan of boiling water. Mix all the ingredients to a stiff dough, then spoon onto the tea-towel. Draw the edges of the tea-towel up and gently shape to a round ball. Tie the top firmly with string.
    Lower wrapped dough into the boiling water and boil for 3 hours, topping up the water as needed. Drain, cool, then slip silver coins wrapped in foil into the pudding just before serving.
    Serve while still warm or reheat in boiling water or the microwave and accompany with plain cream.

    Baking Tip
    The best way to let the pudding set and cool is to lift the bundle from the pan and tie the string at its top to a wooden spoon placed over an empty saucepan. Suspending the plum duff will preserve its nice round pudding shape. It will keep well in the fridge or freezer, wrapped in foil
