    Title: Spotted Dick (Currant Steamed Pudding) w/Custard Sauce
    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.
