Method

Beat in the eggs gradually, then mix in the nutmeg, lime, and lemon zest.

Serve warm with custard and additional grated nutmeg.

Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder, adding milk if needed to reach dropping consistency.

Stir the chopped toffee pieces into the pudding mixture.

Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and prepare a steamer lid.

Butter and flour a 1.2 litre basin, add the treacle, and pour the mixture on top.

Steam the pudding for three hours until a skewer comes out clean.
