   8       oz           Self-raising flour
   1       pn           Salt
   4       oz           Shredded suet
   1       oz           Sugar
   8       oz           Currants or raisins
 150       ml           Cold water
  Stir together the flour, salt, sugar, suet and dried fruit.  Mix to a firm
  dough with water.  Form into a cylinder about 8 inches long, and put on a
  pudding cloth that has been wrung out in boiling water and sprinkled with
  flour.  Roll the pudding in the cloth and tie the ends tightly, but leave
  room for expansion.  Put into a pan of boiling water, cover, and boil for 2
  hours, adding more boiling water if necessary to prevent boiling dry. Turn
  the pudding onto a hot dish and serve with custard.
