This dessert is so called because all the main ingredients are all weight out with a tea cup — equal measures go into the mixing bowl to make the batter for the steamed pudding.

Ingredients:

1 teacupful each of the following:
flour
shredded suet
fine-dry breadcrumbs
mixed dried fruit
honey
milk
Also 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon.

Method:

Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the milk then combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Beat thoroughly with a spoon so everything is well blended with no lumps. Spoon the resultant batter into a small, greased, pudding basin. If the pudding bowl has a lid snap this on. If not, cover with baking parchment. Now cover everything with kitchen foil, tie off with string, making sure you form a loop for lifting the pudding.

Place in a pan on top of an upturned plate, or in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 hours.

Serve with warmed, runny honey (and custard if preferred).
