Recipe - Irish Spotted Dick
Categories: None, Irish Spotted Dick
From Maura Lane
3 One fourth cup White all purpose flour
1 US dessertspoon sugar
One half teaspoon Salt (US tsp)
One half teaspoon Bread soda (US tsp)
3 ounce Sultanas (golden raisins)
up to 4
We
couldn't work this out to US!! 1 One fourth to 1One half cups sour milk/buttermilk (US
cup) some caraway seeds
Asked the friend and she said she'd never herd of spotted Dick with caraway
seed.....I mentioned my notion about my Granny and how yours had done this
and like me she then said she had a memory of her Granny and seeds all
right! So, she phoned someone else.....and again no caraways. But, we have
a recipe for you, the Spotted Dick with American cup measures and all....We
figure that if you make this and also add maybe a tsp of Carawya seed to
begin with you probably will ned up with what the Grannies did. Begin with
a llittle caraway and if that's not enough try some more next time and so
on.
Sieve flour, salt and bread soda in to bowl. Add sugar, caraway seed and
sultanas. Mix, make well in centre, add milk , like brown bread you need a
sof pliable dough, not sticky. Turn our onto floured board, knead for a min
or two until no cracks apppear. Shape into round, cut cross on top. Bake
450F/230C/Gas 6 for 15 mins, then reduce to 400F/?200C for 20+ mins. Loaf
should sound hollow when baked. Oops..forgot brush with milk or egg before
you put in the oven.
This is hotter than for brown bread so be careful when close to the time.
Different ovens also cook slower/quicker. Don't know why.
