So....let's get this show on the road! I am known for my weakness for cake 😳
Spotted Dick is about as quintessentially English as it gets, especially when topped with custard.....and always gives those from abroad a little chuckle!
Spotted Dick is also uber yummy!!
Obviously, if I were to bake this, my efforts would look as good as the pic 😂
However, I'm a busy gal, so have poached this recipe from the BBC for you:

Ingredients
For the spotted dick
For the custard
How-to-videos
Method
  1. For the spotted dick, place the flour, baking powder, shredded suet, caster sugar, currants and lemon zest into a bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Add the milk and stir to make a soft dough.
  3. Grease a pudding basin with butter and spoon the mixture into the basin. Cover with a piece of folded greaseproof paper.
  4. Tie around the edge with string to secure the paper and place a damp tea towel over the top. Tie once more with string to secure the tea towel.
  5. Place the basin into a large lidded saucepan and fill the pan two-thirds of the way up with water.
  6. Cover with the lid, bring to a boil and simmer for one hour.
  7. For the custard, place the milk and cream into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  8. Place the egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and whisk together until light and frothy.
  9. Pour the hot milk onto the eggs, a little at a time, and stir well. Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spatula, until just thickened.
  10. To serve, slice a wedge of spotted dick for each person and place onto each of six plates. Pour over the custard and serve at once.

ENJOY! ❤

A bit of good old English comfort food.....perfect on a cold, winters evening, when you need a good bit of stodge to warm your tummy ❤
Courtesy of the BBC....I give you: Jam Roly Poly 😜

Preparation time

Cooking time

Serves
Serves 6

Ingredients
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Butter a large sheet of baking paper and set aside.
  2. Stir the flour, suet, sugar and salt in a large bowl until fully combined. Slowly stir in the milk to form a soft, spongy dough.
  3. Tip the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Roll the dough out to a 22cm x 32cm/8½in x 13in rectangle.
  4. Spread the jam onto the dough, leaving a 1.5cm/½in border. Gently roll the dough up from the short end and transfer to the greaseproof paper, seam-side down. Wrap the roly poly in the baking paper, making a long pleat in the paper to allow the pudding to expand as it cooks. Twist the ends of the paper like a Christmas cracker and tie tightly with kitchen string, to seal the pudding inside. Repeat the process with a large piece of kitchen foil.
  5. Place the pudding onto a roasting rack set on a deep-sided roasting tin. Pour boiling water halfway up the roasting tin and cook in the oven for 30–35 minutes.
  6. Remove the pudding from the oven, unwrap the kitchen foil, then snip the string and unwrap the paper.
  7. The pudding should be well risen and lightly browned in places. Don’t worry if the jam has made its way through to the outside of the pudding a little – it will taste all the more delicious.
  8. Put on a board or serving plate and cut into thick slices. Serve with lots of hot custard or cream.
 
There is this vegetarian one, it's what we use in my food, usually dumplings 👍

Suet is saturated fat that is used in many traditional British recipes, such as steamed puddings, pastry, and sweet mincemeat. Meat suet adds a dark and rich flavoring to dishes like meat pies, while vegetarian suet is used for lighter foods.

If any of you members ever get to London.....you absolutely MUST try pie 'n' mash!
This is about as London as you'll ever get with food...East London, to be precise.

I stopped eating meat when I was fifteen, so this meal is a thing of the past for me, but watching this video brought back great memories of jumping on the 259 bus and visiting my grandparents and great grandparents, in Hackney and Bethnal Green, when I was a mere dot....and being treated to a meal in the Pie 'n' Mash shop.....it was such a treat! 😍
I luuuuurved the liquor.
They also sold jellied eels, but I could never bring myself to try them :sick:

 
Oh, how I love home made rice pudding 😍

Indulgent and creamy with lashings of nutmeg, Simon Hopkinson's foolproof rice pudding recipe is the perfect comfort food.

Ingredients
Recipe tips
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 140C/285F/Gas 1.
  2. Melt the butter in a heavy-based casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Continue stirring until the rice swells and becomes sticky with sugar.
  3. Pour in the milk and keep stirring until no lumps remain. Add the cream and vanilla and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once this is reached, give the mixture a final stir and grate at least a third of a nutmeg over the surface. Bake for 1-1½ hours and cover with foil if the surfaces browns too quickly.
  4. Once there is a thin, tarpaulin-like skin on the surface, and the pudding only just wobbles in the centre, it is ready. Serve at room temperature.
 
Oh man, I'm killing myself tonight 😭
