Simply follow our simply laid out recipe:

2) Add the milk and stir to make a soft dough.
3) Grease a pudding basin with butter and spoon the mixture into the basin.
4) Cover with a piece of folded greaseproof paper. Tie around the edge with string to secure the paper and place a damp tea towel over the top. Tie once more with string to secure the tea towel.
5) Place the basin into a large lidded saucepan and fill the pan two-thirds of the way up with water. Cover with the lid, bring to a boil and simmer for one hour.
6) For the custard, place the milk and cream into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
7) Place the egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and whisk together until light and frothy.
8) Pour the hot milk onto the eggs, a little at a time, and stir well.
9) Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spatula, until just thickened.
10) To serve, slice a wedge of spotted dick and pour over the custard.
