Which great British pudding truly deserves a place at the dinner table finale?

A moist sponge packed with dates, drenched in a rich toffee sauce. It's the pudding that turns even the most stoic diner sentimental.

A steamed suet pudding studded with currants and served with lashings of custard. School dinners never tasted so comforting.

Reportedly born from a dropped pavlova at Eton College, this summery jumble is deceptively simple and utterly moreish.

Buttered bread layered with sultanas, baked in a vanilla custard until golden. The ultimate proof that thrift can be delicious.

A crisp pastry case filled with a sticky, buttery mix of golden syrup and breadcrumbs. Harry Potter's favourite for good reason.
