Grease a pudding basin (or a heatproof bowl) with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded suet, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add cold water, a little at a time, mixing until the ingredients form a firm but pliable dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Reserve a small portion of the dough to use as the lid.
Lift the rolled-out dough and carefully line the greased pudding basin with it, ensuring there are no gaps or tears.
In a separate bowl, mix the golden syrup and breadcrumbs together until combined. Spoon this mixture into the prepared dough-lined basin, leaving some space at the top for expansion during cooking.
Roll out the reserved dough portion into a circle slightly larger than the basinβs opening and place it over the filling.
Pinch the edges of the dough together tightly to seal. Trim off any excess dough, and cover the pudding basin with a double layer of parchment paper or foil, securing it tightly with kitchen string.
Place the pudding basin into a large saucepan or stockpot, and pour enough boiling water into the pot to come halfway up the sides of the basin.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and steam the pudding over medium heat for 2 hours. Check periodically to ensure the water level remains consistent, adding more boiling water if needed.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pudding basin from the saucepan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Turn the pudding out onto a serving plate and serve warm with custard or cream, if desired.
