Nigel's Spotted Dick Recipe
Spotted Dick
by听Darina Allen听from听Forgotten Skills of Cooking (Kyle Cathie)
听
Also called sultana pudding or Valencia pudding, this is听especially good made with Muscatel or California raisins.听听Be generous with the fruit. As children we听loved this best when it was served with lots of yellow Bird鈥檚 custard.
听
Serves 4-6
Prep time:听听20 mins
Cooking time:听听2hrs
听
Ingredients
15g (陆 oz) melted butter
75g (3 oz) fat yellow sultanas or stoned Lexia or Muscatel听raisins (or Nige says use organic raisins)
110g (4oz) soft butter
110g (4oz caster sugar)
grated zest of 陆 unwaxed & organic lemon
2 organic eggs, beaten
175g (6oz) plain white flour
陆 tsp baking powder
1-2 tbsp milk
听
For the custard
陆 vanilla pod or a few drops pure vanilla extract
300ml (陆 pint) full-cream milk
2 organic egg yolks
1 tbsp caster sugar
听
12cm (5in)- diameter pudding bowl
Method
1.听 听听Brush the bowl with melted butter.听
2.听 听听Press some of the sultanas or split raisins听around the sides.
3.听 听听In a separate bowl, or food processor, cream the butter, add the sugar & lemon zest & beat until light & fluffy.
4.听 听听Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each听addition.
5.听 听听Stir in the flour & baking powder &听enough milk to make the mixture a dropping consistency, then add the rest of听the fruit.
6.听 听听Spoon into the pudding bowl.听
7.听 听听Cover with a double sheet of pleated greaseproof听paper or foil & tie down (take 2 layers of silicone or greaseproof paper or听tin foil & pleat in the centre to allow for expansion. Lay flat on top of听the bowl 鈥� there should be听enough to come down over the sides.听听Secure the ledge with cotton string.听听Make a handle for ease of lifting).
8.听 听听Fill a saucepan about halfway with water, bring听to the boil & lower in the pudding bowl.听
9.听 听听Cover & steam for 2hrs.
听
For the custard
1.听 听听Put the vanilla pod (if using) into the cold听milk & bring slowly to the boil.
2.听 听听Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl.
3.听 听听Remove the vanilla pod from the milk & pour听the milk onto the yolks, whisking all the time (& add the vanilla extract听if using).听
4.听 听听Return the mixture to the pan.
5.听 听听Stir over a gentle heat until the mixture听thickens just enough to coat the back of a spoon but it must not boil.
6.听 听听Pour into a cold bowl & stir occasionally to听prevent a skin forming.
7.听 听听To serve, turn out the pudding & serve with听the warm custard.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
