Also known as spotted duff or spotted dog, the words “dick, duff, dog” all derive from the word “dough”. Any other suggestion comes from a smutty mind \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Spotted dick is your basic steamed pudding. These ingredients will show up frequently here…<\/p>\n

SPOTTED DICK PUDDING<\/p>\n

  • 8oz \/ 240g self raising flour<\/li>\n
  • 4oz \/ 120g unsalted butter OR suet<\/li>\n
  • 3oz \/ 80g caster \/ powdered sugar<\/li>\n
  • *pinch of salt if using unsalted self raising flour<\/li>\n

    Beat together the butter and sugar until just combined (note: not the creaming method, just incorporation). Beat in the flour.<\/p>\n

    Add <\/p>\n

  • 8oz \/ 240g dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas, goldens, craisins, cherries….), soaked in brown liquor, then drained<\/li>\n

    to the batter. <\/p>\n

    add up to <\/p>\n

  • 160ml \/ 5.5oz cold milk<\/li>\n

    to the batter, just enough to bring it together in a somewhat firm dough.<\/p>\n

    Place dough in a well buttered pudding basin and steam for 2 hours OR microwave for around 5-10 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Microwaving time will really depend on your own experience with your micro – for me, about 5 minutes nuke then rest for a couple of minutes. <\/p>\n

    Your duff\/dick\/dog is ready when it is just set. Serve with lashings of freshly made custard<\/a> and a nice cuppa tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
