Onion Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 280 g self-raising white flour (self rising flour)
• 140 g shredded suet (vegetarian if required or margarine)
• 2 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 50 ml cold water (approx)
• 6 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Put the onions, suet and flour, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

2. 2

   Add water a little at a time, mixing to form a stiff dough.

3. 3

   Traditionally, you'd steam on the hob, but the invention of microwaves makes this step super simple. Transfer to a large microwaveable bowl and cover with a loose fitting lid, or cling film, leaving a gap (this creates the steam required to make the pudding rise!).

4. 4

   Microwave for 8min 30sec (or just under a minute per ounce if using different quantities). Make sure there's room in the bowl for the pudding to rise.

5. 5

   To brown, turn out into an ovenproof dish and, if using, arrange the rosemary around the base.

6. 6

   Place in the oven for the final 10-15 minutes of cooking your roast. (Anywhere between 180C/350F to 220C/425F will work fine, just keep an eye!)
