How to Make Spotted Dick – The Victorian Way

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients together and add a pinch of salt. Whisk an egg with half of the milk and pour this into the dry mix. Add enough milk to then make a soft dough.
2. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly.
3. Shape the dough into a sausage and wrap in baking parchment and then foil. Or use a wetted pudding cloth.
4. Boil or steam for two hours. Carefully remove the cloth and serve with custard.
