Spotted Dick
No, this is named after one of the Kings Richard of England. You are very much on your own here!
Servings: 8
| 12 | Ounce | Self-raising flour, sifted, plus extra for sprinkling |
| 5 | Ounce | Shredded vegetable or beef suet |
| 4 | Ounce | Caster Sugar, plus extra for sprinkling |
| 6 | Ounce | Currants |
| Custard to serve |
In a large bowl mix the flour, suet, sugar, currants and 12 fl.oz. water
to a soft dough. Shape into a long sausage and wrap in greaseproof paper.
Fill a pan that is large enough to take the dough sausage, allowing room to expand, with water. Bring to the boil.
Dip a clean tea towel in hot water, wring it out and sprinkle it with flour. Roll up the pudding loosely in the cloth and tie at each end.
Place the pudding in the pan and simmer for 2 hours. Remove the
tea towel and greaseproof paper, sprinkle with sugar and serve warm with
custard.
