I am for sure going to make this Spotted dick, British steamed pudding, come Christmas time this year, as I can almost taste this delicious treat!

Spotted dick is a traditional British steamed pudding, historically made with suet and dried fruit and often served with custard. Non-traditional variants include recipes that replace suet with other fats, or that include eggs to make something similar to a sponge pudding or cake

  • Cook Time: 90 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Category: Dessert
  • Method: Moderate
  • Cuisine: British

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250g self-raising
  • 125g suet (shredded)
  • 80g castor sugar
  • 180g currants
  • 1 lemon zest finely grated
  • Pinch salt
  • 150ml milk

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients into a bowl except the milk.
  2. Mix lightly with a fork and gradually add the milk until the mixture comes together in a nice moist dough.
  3. Put the dough into a pre-greased bowl and seal it with two layers of grease-proof paper and secure it with string ready to steam.
  4. Place the bowl in the steamer and add boiling water halfway up the bowl and bring to a boil.
  5. I use a stock pot with mason jar lids at the bottom to keep the bowl off the base.
  6. Once boiling, turn down the heat and place a lid on the steamer, and steam for 90 minutes.
  7. Check it’s cooked by popping a cocktail stick in the center, if it comes out clean it’s done.
  8. Leave for 10 minutes before turning it onto a plate to serve with custard.

Yummy
