Instructions
-
Start boiling water in a large saucepan for steaming.
-
Butter a 1.2-liter pudding basin.
-
Combine 1 tablespoon marmalade with golden syrup and orange zest, then spread into the basin's bottom.
-
Cream butter and sugar until soft, then gradually beat in eggs.
-
Sift in flour and baking powder, then fold alternately with milk and the remaining marmalade until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the basin.
-
Cover the basin with pleated buttered greaseproof paper, then pleated foil, securing tightly with string.
-
Place the basin on a trivet in the large saucepan. Pour boiling water halfway up the basin's side, cover, and steam for 1 1/2 hours, refilling water as needed.
-
Unwrap and check doneness with a skewer; it should come out clean. Unmould onto a warm plate and serve with cream or custard.
