Thank you for this! I suspect it was maybe a tiny bit undercooked if there was a slight eggy flavour. I hope that helps.

Thank you for the feedback. I understand what you mean but I haven't made it any other way. I know some recipes include yoghurt in there to make it softer.
I hope that helps and really hope you continue to enjoy your retirement!

my elderly mum used to poor a little boiling water over the joint instead of searing it in a pan and it seems to work out good.

It turned out really well, thank you. Talking of the 'makes great cakes' manufacturer, their product is a little heavier, which I like but the family love the light sponge. How would I adjust the ingredients or method to achieve this? Thanks again, my retirement is now gardening and making cakes 🙂

Turned out well. My first time making a steamed pudding.

I had some extra lemon curd so I microwaved a bit and drizzled it over the completed pudding to add a little extra flavor. It was very good! Felt the pudding was too eggy for my taste.

Next time will add some lemon zest to mix and maybe a touch of vanilla.

Overall will make again!

Hi Barbara, Yes you can if you want, I love my salt so I usually use both!
