Break the egg into a bowl to check for shells, then add it to a mixing bowl.

Mix in 1/4 cup of dark molasses with the egg.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with a cup of cold water, then add it to the egg and molasses mixture.

Coat 1 cup of raisins with 1/4 cup of flour to prevent them from sinking in the pudding.

Sift 1.5 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cloves into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients.

Stir to combine all ingredients together, then add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and fold in the coated raisins.

Grease a pudding pan with butter or oil, then pour the batter into the pan.

Cover the pudding pan with a lid or foil to prevent water from entering.

Place the pudding pan into a steamer with water filled to a quarter of the way up the pan.

Steam the pudding for 1.5 hours, checking water levels occasionally to avoid boiling dry.
