1 spotted dick (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the flour, currants and grated suet (it should have the general consistency of mouse droppings) very lightly by hand.
  2. 2
    Moisten with a couple of tablespoons of cold water, enough to give a dryish pastry texture.
  3. 3
    DO NOT RUB, only stir enough to bind the ingredients together.
  4. 4
    The mixture can be put into a buttered basin and covered with first a layer of foil, then a cloth (tied on with string), but the usual way is to make a thick roll shape, and wrap it in buttered greaseproof (waxed?) paper, and tie into a cloth.
  5. 5
    Boil in a lot of water for two to three hours on top of the stove, or all day if using a crock pot.
  6. 6
    To serve, slice it into 1" thick chunks while still hot.
  7. 7
    Some people serve it with egg custard, but others consider serving spotted dick with moist brown sugar and a large spoonful of salted butter a must.
  8. 8
    Use both if you like.
