    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup raisins
    • 1 cup golden raisins (sultanas)
    • 1 cup self-rising flour
    • 1 cup breadcrumbs (chopped fresh white bread, about 4-5 slices)
    • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
    • 1 cup butter (frozen, then grated + softened butter for coating your bowl)
    • 2 teaspoon mixed spice
    • 1 cup milk (whole milk is best)
    • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
    • confectioners' sugar (optional, for garnish)

    Instructions

    • In a large mixing bowl add all of the ingredients (raisins, golden raisins, self-rising flour, breadcrumbs, light brown sugar, grated butter, mixed spice, milk, and egg). Mix until well combined, then transfer into a generously buttered pudding bowl or heat-safe bowl (the bowl should be roughly 1.5 quart capacity). Use a spatula to level the top of the pudding and gently pack into the bowl.
      1 cup raisins, 1 cup golden raisins (sultanas), 1 cup self-rising flour, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 cup light brown sugar, 1 cup butter, 2 teaspoon mixed spice, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg
    • Butter the bottom side of two sheets of aluminum foil then secure them over the bowl - leave the center pleated, creased, or tented over the pudding to allow for rising. Tie the aluminum foil in place with butcher twine then place the bowl into a large pan.
    • Fill the pan with water, enough so that it reaches up just a bit over halfway up the sides of your bowl of pudding. Cover and bring the water to a low simmer, then steam for 2 ½ hours. *Check the water level occasionally and add more hot water to keep the level at the same point on your bowl.
    • Remove from the pan when done, peel off the aluminum foil and invert onto a heat-safe serving plate or dish. To serve later let the Christmas pudding cool slightly, then wrap tightly with plastic cling film and a layer of fresh aluminum foil.
    • When ready to serve lightly dust with confectioners' sugar and enjoy.

    Notes

    • Optional stir-ins include up to 1 cup of crushed nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts) or ½ cup of grated apple (use a firm semi-sweet variety like Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, Braeburn, Cameo, Pink Lady).
    • Swap out raisins for dried fruit like dates, apricots, cherries, cranberries, or mixed peel if desired.
