Preparation

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one by one, allowing each to be incorporated before adding the next. Stir in flour, then stir in cumquat juice.

Butter a 1-litre pudding bowl and spoon in the pudding mixture. Cover with buttered greaseproof paper and foil. Tie down tightly with string under the rim of the pudding bowl or, easier still, use a large elastic band.

Place pudding bowl into a large pot and pour in enough water to come three-quarters of the way up the bowl. Bring water to the boil; reduce to a simmer, place the lid on the saucepan and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Check the water level from time to time and add more if needed.

Remove pudding bowl from the water and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Remove the foil and greaseproof paper. Run a small spatula around the edge of the pudding and unmould onto a platter. Serve with thin custard.

Hot Tips

Cooking pasta

When cooking pasta the golden rule is to have the water rolling and boiling. This prevents the pasta sticking together. Also add plenty of salt to the cooking water. Drop in pasta, stir once then cook for 7 minutes (for fresh pasta) or according to packet instructions for dried pasta.

Glossary

Carp

Considered a pest by many Australians, the European carp inhabits many of the continent's waterways. It is however prized by many communities including the Chinese and some Middle Eastern nationalities.
