Ingredients for Irish Spotted Dick Recipe

From Maura Lane

1/2 ts Bread soda (US tsp)
3 oz Sultanas (golden raisins)
– up to 4

Irish Spotted Dick Preparation

We couldn”t work this out to US!! 1 1/4 to 1-1/2 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.
