Ingredients

1 Cup Raisins

1 Cup Sultanas

1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 x Cup Self Raising Flour

115g Finely Grated Butter

Fresh Brown Breadcrumbs (Around 4 Slices)

1 Cup Light Muscovado Sugar

1 Large handful of Mixed Nuts, Chopped

1 Tsp Ground Mixed Spice

200ml Double Cream

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Method

Empty the cups of raisins, sultanas, self raising flour, grated butter, breadcrumbs, muscovado sugar and nuts into a mixing bowl and add the spices. Stir well before adding the milk and egg and combine all together before tipping into a buttered 1.5 litre pudding bowl.

Cover with buttered foil making a pleat in the centre to allow for the pudding to rise. Tie the foil securely and place in a steamer. Steam, covered with a lid for 2.5 hours.

Leave to cool slightly if serving immediately.

For the Butterscotch sauce –

Put all the ingredients in a pan and slowly bring to the boil whilst stirring. Let it bubble away for 3 minutes, still stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is a pale caramel colour. Remove from the heat and pour over the pudding.

Put the Traditional Christmas Pudding in the middle of the table as a fab dessert centre piece!
