 Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Citrus, Puddings
      Yield: 9 servings
 
MMMMM------------------------SPOTTED DICK-----------------------------
      3 tb Unsalted butter; melted,
           - more for greasing
  2 1/4 c  Flour
      5 oz Beef suet; chilled, grated
      1 c  Dried currants
    1/2 c  Sugar
      1 tb Baking powder
    2/3 c  Heavy cream
    2/3 c  Milk
           Zest of 1 lemon
      2 tb Fresh lemon juice

MMMMM-----------------------CUSTARD SAUCE----------------------------
      4 lg Eggs
      3 tb Sugar
      1 c  Milk
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
 
  MAKE THE SPOTTED DICK: Grease a 2 liter steamed pudding
  mold with butter; set aside. In the bowl of a stand
  mixer fitted with a paddle, combine flour, suet,
  currants, sugar, and baking powder. Add butter, cream,
  milk, lemon zest, and juice; mix until a thick batter
  forms. Pour into prepared mold and cover with lid. Bring
  10 cups water to a boil in a large stockpot fitted with
  a pasta strainer or steamer insert. Place pudding in
  pot; cover pot and steam until cooked through, 1 1/2-2
  hours. During cooking, add boiling water to pot, as
  needed, to ensure that water level stays 2" up the sides
  of the mold; let pudding cool slightly.
  
  MAKE THE CUSTARD: Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl until
  fluffy. Bring milk to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan. While
  whisking constantly, slowly pour milk into egg mixture.
  Return mixture to saucepan; heat over medium heat. Cook,
  stirring occasionally, until sauce is very thick, about
  15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. To
  serve, uncover and invert spotted dick onto a serving
  plate; pour sauce over the top or cut pudding into
  slices and serve sauce on the side.
