Today I'm making one of the simplest recipes  I know. Spotted Dick or Plum Bolster. It's  

ideal for the Service Hall and very  popular for the nursery and at schools.  

Well, it is very cheap to make.  For this recipe you will need:

First I'm going to mix the flour, the  currants, the sugar and the suet together.

Everybody loves this pudding and so it has  lots of different names. Plum Bolster, well  

plum because it has dried fruit in it, and bolster  as I suppose it looks like a bolster on your bed.  

Current Pudding and Spotted Dick  which really means spotted dough.

And i'm going to whisk an  egg into half of the milk.

The dough doesn't want to be too sticky so I  shall add the rest of the milk a little at a time.

Now that the dough is firm but not too sticky  I'm just going to knead it a little more.

And it's ready to be wrapped in  a cloth. My cloth is already damp  

so I just need to sprinkle it with a little flour.

You must make sure that you  wrap it up really tightly.

Now that's been at a rolling boil for  just over two hours so it should be ready.

For the Servants Hall, I'm going to  serve it with a very thick custard.
