I did a Britney
I made the Christmas pudding today.
I boiled and floured the cloth.
I put my biggest boiler on the stove to heat.
I carefully measured out all the ingredients and mixed them in a big china bowl.
I spooned the mixture into it's cloth and tied it securely.
I lowered it into the boiling water.
Then I went outside with a cuppa and a quick read of the paper before cleaning up (as you do). I came back in (after slightly longer than I intended. The house was starting to get that wonderful cinnamon and nutmeg smell. MMMM
I put away all the canisters and boxed up the leftover fruit. I put the rum bottle into the filing cabinet under TAX (anyone with an alcoholic in the family will understand this move). Then I went to put the recipe card away and....
Self raising flour?
I looked at the card.
I looked at my chock-a-block full flour canister.
I looked at the pudding bubbling away on the stove.
Self raising flour!
Bugger.

Though the pudding looks interesting, I know I would never try making it. But what is the rum in the file drawer under TAX? Inquiring minds want to know.
so, you need to get some self raising flower!!!! yeee! xmas pudding now????
Will it turn out anyway without the self-raising flour?
A Christmas pudding in August??
Couldn't you have chucked in a teaspoon or so of baking powder?
Will it kill it to not rise fully? And no, Britney wouldn't ahve been able to pull any of the ingredients together and certainly wouldn't have had a "tax" file solution for a bottle.
