Method

Gradually stir in the milk until a rollable dough forms.

Drain the fruit and roll the dough into a rough rectangle.

Sprinkle half the fruit over the dough, fold it, and repeat with the remaining fruit.

Mix the dried fruit, chopped ginger, orange zest, and orange juice in a bowl.

Shape the dough into a sausage and wrap in pleated, buttered greaseproof paper.

Roll the package in a double muslin cloth.

Steam the pudding over boiling water for 105 minutes.

Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Combine the flour, suet, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
