⏱ Time
Boiled pudding, 2 hours; baked pudding, 1-1/2 to 2 hours

🥘 Ingredients

1 lb. of suet crust No. 1215, 1 lb. of treacle, 1/2 teaspoonful of grated ginger.

👨‍🍳 Method

Make, with 1 lb. of flour, a suet crust by recipe No. 1215; roll it out to the thickness of 1/2 inch, and spread the treacle equally over it, leaving a small margin where the paste joins; close the ends securely, tie the pudding in a floured cloth, plunge it into boiling water, and boil for 2 hours. We have inserted this pudding, being economical, and a favourite one with children; it is, of course, only suitable for a nursery, or very plain family dinner. Made with a lard instead of a suet crust, it would be very nice baked, and would be sufficiently done in from 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

This one hit different

I tried my hand at Rolled Treacle Pudding this week, a recipe that's been gathering dust in my vintage cookbook collection. I found the process surprisingly soothing—there's something comforting about the rhythmic rolling and tying of the pudding cloth. The suet crust was a delightful surprise; I'd never worked with it before, but it gave the pudding a wonderful, old-fashioned flavor and texture. I opted to bake it instead of boiling, as suggested, and the result was a golden, crisp exterior that gave way to a soft, gooey interior. This pudding is pure nostalgia in a bowl. It's not fancy, but it's exactly what a comfort-seeker like me needs on a chilly evening. The grated ginger adds a subtle warmth that complements the treacle beautifully. I served it with a drizzle of hot custard, and it was the perfect end to a long week. If you're looking for a classic, no-fuss dessert that'll warm your heart and your belly, give this one a try. Just be prepared to spend a couple of hours boiling it.
