My great grandma made this every year for xmas. Then grandmother. We are starting this tradition again at xmas . Thanks for putting up the video.

Saw this dish advertised in one of those poncy restaurants and they called it Speckled Richard.

KeefCooks I found out where the name originated from... believe it not, it’s called “spotted dog” While "spotted" is a clear reference to the dried fruit in the pudding (which resemble spots), "dick" and "dog" were dialectal terms widely used for pudding, from the same etymology as "dough" (i.e., the modern equivalent name would be "spotted pudding").[ Wikipedia doesn’t lie 😁

My family always has suet pudding during holidays, but it is with raisins instead of currants. I love this recipe and especially with the custard!

I am so pleased to have found your video. You make this look so easy, I can't wait to try it!Thank you!

Hey Keef, thanks for the great videos. Your presentation is always very professional and entertaining. The addition of closed captioning to your videos is also very beneficial to me, and it shows your dedication to a high standard of quality. Again, thank you for the wonderful videos. I hope you continue making them far into the future.

Try using mince meat, the type in Xmas pies. I used half a jar & left the sultanas & currents out, steam for 1.5 hours....so good.

Good Morning from Canada, Suet is hard to find. Can I substitute shorting for suet for this recipe? Thank you..

@Keefcooks

7 жыл бұрын

Curiously, shortening is almost impossible to find in the UK - never used it so I don't know. I think possibly not - it's all about texture - suet is in pellets and they melt during cooking leaving little pockets of air. But give it a go, it's the only way to find out!

Suet puddings - nothing to beat them. And no, you don't need a smoothie machine to make custard.

My guess the “dick” part comes from the German language of meaning “fat” for the suet. After they influenced as Saxons hundreds of years ago.

KeefCooks thanks for the response! Can I replace the suet with anything else and get a similar texture? - I heard you can get animal-free suet in Britain but where I live I can't get it, so my options are vegetable oil, butter, clarified butter, margarine and coconut oil - maybe the last 2 could be used as they look like they'd be (perhaps?) similar in texture (I hope)? Should I try with one of these and hope to get a thing that resembles the original or should I not even attempt to make it without the suet?

@Keefcooks

6 жыл бұрын

I have done it by grating frozen butter and tossing the shreds in flour. Basically what happens with suet is it takes some time to melt, leaving pockets of air that give the pastry/dough a light spongy texture.

Oh my gosh my mouth is watering.....my grandma was from Peterborough and she used to make this all the time! Yum! However, we cheated and used Birdseye custard. It it was yummy too! She didn’t make hers in the wee pots.....she would flour a kitchen cloth and tie it up and drop into boiling water. I’ve not found a recipe where the method was used. It’s still good though! 😁

I've never tried currants before so that'll be interesting too. I don't know if it's all Americans or just my part of the U.S., but we don't see fruit-filled desserts much, except for pies. No teacakes or Chelsey buns, instead it's doughnuts, muffins, and cinnamon buns, and none had things like apricots, raisins, currants, dates, or cranberries, etc; apple, blueberry, and banana fruits seem to be the most common fruit in desserts I"ve seen, even in local bakeries. And fruit folded into & baked in bread? forget about it, I've never had that until I made it myself a couple yrs ago.

Sous vide has been used in industry for decades. Most sous vide equipment is American-made - the process is most definitely used there. The bags are perfectly safe as long as they do not contain BPA (bisphenol A). It will not be banned. Nobody is forcing you to use it - except BPA may be found in the linings of cans, in some plastic drinks bottles, maybe in some plastic food wrap. If it really bothers you, check what type of plastic it is - there are thousands different types of plastic, only a small proportion of them contain BPA.
