How to Make New Age Spotted Dick

  1. Preheat oven to 340-350°F (170°C).
  2. Grease a 4-cup (1-liter) heatproof bowl or deep casserole dish with oil.
  3. Combine 1 cup raisins with ½ cup water in a saucepan.
  4. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let steep for 10 minutes. Drain well.
  5. Make the custard sauce: In a saucepan, combine ½ cup milk, ¼ cup sugar, 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  7. In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup ground almonds until light and fluffy. This may take up to 8 minutes with an electric mixer.
  8. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the drained raisins.
  11. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Pour the hot custard sauce evenly over the top.
  12. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the pudding browns too quickly, cover the top loosely with parchment paper.
  13. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a warmed serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
