Best Steamed Spotted Dick Recipes
SPOTTED DICK! TRADITIONAL BRITISH STEAMED FRUIT SPONGE PUDDING
I am finally posting my recipe for Spotted Dick! This delicious steamed sponge pudding with currants is a British schoolboy favourite from the days when school dinners were not only tasty and nourishing, but may have been the only hot meal of the day for some children. Originally, Spotted Dick would have been made with beef suet and breadcrumbs - this recipe has been updated for modern tastes, and uses vegetarian suet or butter with flour. Serve this with English custard for a comforting and nostalgic flavour explosion! Steaming is so easy, and whilst it bubbles and simmers away, you are free to do other things around the kitchen, such as prepare the custard!

Steps:
- Put all dried ingredients in to a large bowl, stir though with a fork until combined.
- Add all remaining ingredients to form a sticky dough. (Any milk works in this recipe, we have been using long life semi-skimmed).
- Grease a pudding basin with butter, then place the dough in to the basin. It should leave an inch spare at the top of the dish, to allow it to grow. Cover with greased foil, with a fold in to allow the pudding to swell.
- In a deep pan place a saucer/ramekin at the bottom, then fill with water. Place the pudding in the pan on top of the saucer/ramekin. This prevents direct heat, and potential burning of the base of the pudding. The water should come half way up the pudding basin. Pop a lid on, and allow it to steam for 90 minutes.
- Remover from the pan, remove foil and let it sit for 10 minutes. You may want to run a knife around the edge, but if greased properly it should turn out beautifully.
- Serve with fresh custard, Enjoy!
