Is that a steamed pudding? I love those things but have never made one.
I do make something similar, except that it is baked. It is a quick and
easy last minute dessert idea called Sauced Fruit Pudding. I use a
stainless bowl to mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, cut in a
bit of shortening and then add some milk. You can add dark or light
raisins or other dried fruits, or even orange pieces. Stir it all
together and leave it in a ball in the bowl.

Boil some water, add brown sugar and a couple tablespoons of butter.
Stir it around until the sugar is dissolved and the butter melted. Pour
it over the batter and then stick it into the oven. It should be served
warm but it is excellent cold the next day.
