Now sprinkle a few drops of Worcestershire sauce and, 1 beef stock cube, pinch of salt and pepper bring to a boi then pour it into the pastry lined basin. leaving at least 1 inch gap from the top. Roll out the pastry lid and dampen edges and put it in position on the pudding. Seal it well and cover with a double layer of foil making sure it is pleated in the middle to allow room for the pudding to expand. secure with string around the rim. Put pudding bowl in a stock pot. Fill stock pot with enough water to come halfway up bowl. Cover and bring to a boil. Steam for 5 hours, adding more boiling water if needed. Checking on the water as you will have to add some halfway through.
