110g breadcrumbs
110g sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
For the sauce:
2Ā tbspĀ water
450g homemade Seville marmalade

Method
Mix the dry ingredients together.
Add beaten egg, marmalade and a little milk to moisten if necessary (the mixture should have the consistency of plum pudding.) Fill into a pudding bowl. Cover with a double sheet of greaseproof paper with a pleat in the centre. Tie firmly and steam in a covered saucepan for 2-3 hours. Check regularly and top up with hot water if necessary (the water level should be 3/4 ways up the bowl).
To make the sauce, put the water and marmalade into a saucepan. Warm gently and boil 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon juice.Ā
When the pudding is fully cooked, turn it out onto a hot plate. Spoon some sauce over and around the puddings.
Serve on very hot plates with lots of softly whipped cream and the remaining sauce.
