Hi.Just went to make a steamed pudding (like my Mum use to make) from the Edmonds Cookbook, but can't find it in my 1992 edition.It was a fairly plain dough type recipe, and had a topping of golden syrup (possibly water) etc which formed a nice sauce over the pudding.I think Mum's cookbook would have been in the 1965 - 1973 era.The only one in my current cookbook is a "Steamed Sponge Pudding" with a Golden Syrup Pudding variety - which doesn't look the same.I'm sure Mum's didn't have jam in it!Can anyone please help?Thanks :)

Sift flour, salt and baking powder together, add sugar. Rub in butter and mix to a soft dough with sufficient milk. Place in a greased basin. Mix and pour the following syrup over: 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp golden syrup or honey, and 1 cup boiling water. Dissolve sugar and golden syrup in boiling water. Do not cover basin. Stand basin in a saucepan of boiling water (water to come up half way up the side of basin). Put lid on saucepan and steam ¾ hour.

also if you google golden syrup dumplings and make them they are easy as, take about 15 mins from start to finish and are very much like the 3/4hour pud in consistancy.
