Method:

1. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and ginger into a bowl. Stir in the suet and mix with enough of the water to form a soft but not sticky dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface.

2. Roll out to a rectangle and spread with the marmalade to within 1 cm/1/2 in of the edge all round. Sprinkle with the raisins and sugar.

3. Brush the edges with water. Turn in the side edges, then roll up. Wrap in a double thickness of buttered foil, sealing the ends well.

4. Steam for 2-2 1/2 hours. Unwrap and serve with thick cream.
