1) Have ready a sheet of foil or a double thickness of greaseproof paper brushed with melted margarine. 2. Make the pudding crust: Sieve the flour and the salt. Rub in the margarine. Add the sugar and sultanas. Mix in the water to make a soft dough. 3. Turn out onto a floured board and form into a roll. 4. Wrap loosely but securely in the greaseproof paper or foil. Tie or seal the ends. 5. Place in the steamer and cover tightly. Steam for 1.1/2 to 2 hours. 6. Serve with hot custard sauce or sprinkle with castor sugar. Variation: At stage 3: Put the mixture in a medium-sized (1.1/2 pint) pudding basin
