SPOTTED DICK Makes 6-7 helpings
300g plain flour 150g caster sugar 1/2 (2.5 ml) spoon salt 2 (5ml) spoons baking powder 150g shredded suet 150g chopped currants cold milk flour for dusting
Sift the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together. Add the suet, chopped currants, and enough cold milk to make a soft but not sticky dough. Shape into a roll. Lay the dough on a scalded, well-floured pudding cloth and roll up loosely. Tie up the ends of the cloth. Put into a saucepan of fast-boiling water, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Drain well and unwrap. Slice and serve with any custard or sweet sauce, or with warmed golden syrup and cream.
