Questions
Christmas pudding problem
Hello Lindsey
I used Delia's Christmas pudding recipe, I've used it before and liked it very much, this time I have forgotten to put the suet in. What's it going to be like, solid and a rock? Will it be at all edible?
Thanks Pat

Pressuer cooker pudding.
Hello Lindsay,
I'm about to start making Delia's Christmas pudding for the 2 pint pudding bowl. In the recipe it says steam for 8 hours. Is there any way I can do this in a pressure cooker to cut the steaming time? Just trying to be more economical and save money on my energy bills. Thank you,
Lizzie

Dipping Lemon Drizzle Cake!
Hi Lindsey
I made the lemon drizzle. I followed the ingredients to the gram and my oven was exactly 170 but in the last 5 mins the cake sank. I didn’t open the oven door.
This is the second time this has happened. It’s not a very easy cake to make
Any ideas ?
