Method
Grease a 1.1 litre (2 pint) pudding basin. Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, suet or butter and sugar. Make a well in the centre and add the egg and enough milk to give a soft dropping consistency. Pour into the prepared basin. Cover with pleated greaseproof paper or foil and secure with string. Steam for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

Instead of using cocoa powder you could add 25g (1 oz) chocolate chips to the basic mixture instead.
