SC - Spotted Dick/Spotted Dog

[Olwen the Odd]

I have a pudding steamer.  I think I shall try this.  Anyone have any other 
good steamed pudding recipes?

>Spotted Dog (cooked in the pressure cooker)
>
>3/4 cup white self-raising flour
>pinch of salt
>1 1/2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs
>90g (3 oz) shredded beef suet
>2 tablespoons brown sugar
>3 tablespoons milk
>1/3 cup sultanas
>2 tablespoons currants
>3 tablespoons chopped mixed peel
>4 cups boiling water
>little lemon juice
>
>Steaming - 10 minutes
>L Pressure - 29 minutes OR
>H Pressure - 20 minutes
>
>Method:
>Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.  Add the breadcrumbs, suet, and
>sugar.  Mix with sufficient milk until a smooth, elastic dough is formed
>that leaves the side of the bowl cleanly.  Turn out onto a floured board 
>and
>knead lightly.  Roll out into an oblong a little narrower than the base of
>the cooker and approximately 1 cm/1/2 inch thick.  Spread the fruits and
>peel over the surface, damp the edges with milk and roll up, Swiss-roll
>style, sealing the edges well.  Place, seam-side down, on to a well-greased
>double thickness of greased greaseproof paper or a large piece of greased
>aluminium foil.  Wrap loosely, making a pleat in the centre to allow for
>expansion and seal the ends.  Have the water and lemon juice boiling in the
>cooker and add the trivet, rim side down.  Place the pudding on the trivet.
>Close the cooker and steam gently, without the weights, for 10 minutes.
>Raise the heat, bring to L or H pressure and cook for 29 or 20 minutes
>accordingly.  Reduce the pressure slowly.  Turn out onto a serving dish and
>serve with custard sauce or slice and serve with butter and brown sugar.
