This was my mother's regular Thursday pudding. Thursday was baking day and I would return home for Dinner (at lunch time) to find a steak and kidney pie, Queen of Puddings and Cakes and buns in the making. The Thursday baking would last us most of the week and always included father's biscuits.
I made one of these for my two boys one week and it was gone in seconds. Try it, it really is a nice pudding but best served hot.
