What each ingredient does
- Flour
- Forms the dough structure that holds the roll together while steaming.
- Chopped suet
- Adds fat that keeps the dough tender and moist as it steams.
- Baking powder
- Releases gas that helps the dough rise and lighten.
- Fresh fruit
- Provides sweetness and moisture inside the rolled pudding.
The step that matters
Rolling the dough tightly. A loose roll can open or let filling leak during steaming, and the dough needs even thickness so it cooks through evenly.
