Spotted Dick, also known as Plum Bolster, is one of the simplest recipes out there. The name means 'spotted dough' and many people remember enjoying this pudding at school.

INGREDIENTS
For the pastry:
225g (1¾ cups) flour plus extra for dusting
170g (1 ⅓ cups) suet
170g (1 cup) currants
3 tbsp sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1 egg
225ml (1 cup) milk
Butter for the mould
Salt
Custard to serve
METHOD
Mix the dry ingredients together and add a pinch of salt. Whisk an egg with half of the milk and pour this into the dry mix. Add enough milk to then make a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly.
Shape the dough into a sausage and wrap in baking parchment and then foil. Or use a wetted pudding cloth.
Boil or steam for two hours. Carefully remove the cloth and serve with custard.

For this recipe you will need...
A clean mind
Can you recommend any substitutes? I'm fresh out of clean thoughts after reading that title! 😂
@@AuntieBubbles these comments 🤣
I don't have maturity for the name of this dish 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really doo👁️👄👁️🤣
For this recipe, you will need:
-Maturity
-A clean mind
-Dignity
I didnt think of that-
I mean you know the @-@ -
I don’t have a clean mind :c
I have none of those
A clean...mind.. Nope, not understanding you.
Chefs look under their bed for Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay looks under his bed for Mrs. Crocombe
you know what? id like a cook out between gordon ramsay and mrs crocombe :D
have you asked these biological women their permission before putting their faces on your profile picture? XD
Unnnnhhhh
Tracy motel😩
😂😂😂😂
It's incredible how she said the name of the dish without even a hint of laughter, truly a professional
Loll
@@kartunland probably 1-2 she's a professional after all.
@Mo Neta im dumb
She wasn’t laughing coz She’s a cook not a confectioner 👀👀👀
Why would she? It's something you can by at Tesco's.
Also, they have the comment section pinned:
“It’s ideal for the servants
it’s very popular for the nursery and schools”
The way she looks directly towards us when she says CHEAP ...
Were on TH-cam learning to cook instead of buying expensive cookbooks abs classes...
We are cheap Lol
It's as if she knows what will be expressed in the comment section. Sometimes even dragging poor Edgar into the mud....
@@uptoolate2793 poor Edgar 🙏
Excuse ME, Mrs. Crocombe. I am NOT cheap. I am tawdry, but not cheap.
Bruhh😂
10 bucks we get the shade of death eye contact when she says the name of the dish.
I thought exactly the same; I!m ashamed already. I’m so ready to look at my knees.
I’m hoping
We love our shade queen
She’s a gem
Ok guys let's see!!
Mrs. Crocombe is disappointed in all our immaturity lmao
Well, what did she EXPECT? HAHA HAHA!
She is 🤣
😂😂😂
She judges us harshly regardless
Yea, but her actress probably isn’t… hahaa
She was quick to explain that it really means “spotted dough.” I love how sharp and fun Mrs. Crocombe is.
I clicked out of immaturity. I'm glad I'm not the only one 😅
Same here😂
I never click on the 'premiere' thingies...but I wanted to read the comments...😄
😂😂Same
I like to watch this normally, but never cared for a premiere.
But this time...
No way possible to miss this breathtaking event.
I'm so looking forward, would _never_ had expected that; not from Mrs. Crocombe, nor from the British Victorians.
Same lol
The number one thing I’ve learned from Mrs. Crocombe’s recipes is that the Victorians REALLY liked boiling dough.
And giving dishes lewd names. Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is really not far off the mark there.
I know why do they boil dough?
@@elanorglf In this case, I suppose it's so that the Suet melts
🤣😂🤣😂
@@lyllydd Nanny Ogg's Banana Surprise 😅
i would legitimately watcha 6 hour movie in which Mrs. C just pointed out all the things in her kitchen and what she does with them.
Can't forget the victorian shade she throws
I want to watch a series of how she “climbed” the career ladder. In that video where she made ginger beer, she mentioned she used to work in a large farm. Like she started as a new hire and she starts to shine when people realize she’s a prodigy in the kitchens. Even if it’s just tiny snippets of peasant/working class life. From morning routines, transportation, lifestyle. Each video has a tiny bit of story in the background that builds up. That would be AMAZING.
Starting off as a scuttle maid and working her way up to head cook.
There is some more info on Wikipedia. Avis Crocombe.
And I wanna see more of the charakters like the lotd and the lady. I wish they would expand this into a whole thing.
Just watched one for eve's pudding where she said she used to work as a maid for her brother where one of her jobs was preparing the dried fruit
@@jamesfracasse8178 *scullery
Me: **Looks at title**
Also me: **Waits to see what people will say in the comments** 🤣
Same
Same. Just here for the jokes.
Same, not surprised though
Yup, got my popcorn ready 🌽🍿🍿🍿🤣
Meeeee
I see Mrs Crocombe has gone the OnlyFans route too..
It's 2 am over here I can't be laughing that hard! 😂😂😂😂
Best. Comment. Ever! 🤣🤣
Lol...
wut
I- 😭😭
Folks managing the English Heritage channel: We really need a lot of engagement on this next video. But how?
Mrs. Crocombe: *Smirks over her glasses *
"firm, but not too sticky, I'm just going to knead a little more"
If this is not what she said, I don't know what is.
This comment you made, it’s illegal.
@@LelaosXVI I bet you're fun at parties 🙂
Ok, its cursed, PREPARE THE STAKE
"I'm going to serve it with a V E R Y T H I C K C U S T A R D"
@@LelaosXVI But hilarious!
Ahem, it's a Spotted RICHARD 😉
Or a spotted dog.
Or spotted don draper 🤪
Dont be immature. Syphilis is a very serious disease.
@@arifrosli3305 is this supposed to be a joke?
That's what thought of lol
Mrs. Crocombe shows who is Kitchen Boss by using as many bowls as possible. Bam. Take that scullery maid!
What did the scullery maid do to p*** off her boss like that.
@@ElizabethJones-pv3sj She used the Turbot Kettle for the laundry
Aaryan K 😂😂😂 If that’s the case, I can understand her anger
@@aaryank9268 That's the kind of thing that cannot be easily forgiven, if ever.
Who cares. Nobody likes Mary-Ann anyway lol
Who else want's a whole series about Audley End? With the twist that we never see the Lord and Lady, just the servants lifes spinning around them.
You must be new here. That's pretty much what this is.
@@beth8775 haha, i think they mean an actual series with drama and comedy and stuff like that - a full series with episodes like netflix adaption in some sense; with not just cooking, but stories and stuff
Yes please I would watch that
Omg that sounds so funn
You should watch downtown abbey. The concept is literally like what you said + their lord and ladys fam drama as well.
I was being an adult until the custard. Dear God, Mrs. Crocombe, the custard!!! :D
What's wrong with custard? I truly don't understand
@@lizaoctavia3126
I think they just really like custard.
Hahaha!
Yup, same xD
@@lizaoctavia3126 reference the name of dish, then reference American slang, then think about custard as relates. 😉
This sounds more like an unfortunate medical condition than a culinary dish, to my American ear.
Very true.
for this recipe you will need...antibiotic ointment
@@lorifrank430 a pint of penicillin and two tabs of Tylenol 😂😂😂
And bed rest
@@tanyagarcia3721 And a hot date with Spotted Jane. 😋
Oh I see Edgar is gonna be featured as an ingredient.
He IS rather cute....

Who is edgar?
@@fajarloa2109 a member of the staff, appears in the "How to Make Gâteau de Pommes", as well as the "How to harvest apples" videos
Oh noooo...poor bloke
"It's ideal for the servants" while looking at me
I find it interesting how she doesn't explain why the egg is broken into a separate bowl.
For those who don't know, one didn't always know if the eggs were perfect. Hence, one didn't want to break nastiness into your milk and waste it. So the egg was broken into a separate bowl then transferred to the mixing bowl.
Even nowadays it's a good idea. Bits of the shell can get in, and cracking the egg in a separate bowl can make sure they aren't in the final product.
"Oh a new Mrs Crocombe video, I definitely have to set a reminder to watch that late- IM SORRY A SPOTTED WHAT?"
"Which really means spotted dough."

they might want to get that checked out
@@emmaflint6126 Have some sense of humor.
@@emmaflint6126 no 😊❤️!
@@emmaflint6126 Sorry you're going through a hard time but this is probably not the channel for you, especially with this title. In case you haven't read the rest of the comments, there are lots of "stupid' comments as to be expected.
LMAOOO 😭🤚🏾
@Lesa Niusila I'm definitely not always serious. I was telling Emma Flint to have some sense of humor.
this recipe is so simple that I thought I'd have all the ingredients ready, but then…
_suet has entered the chat_
Be honest, this is a clickbait we're all attracted to.
Some people may say that this channel is old-fashioned, but in reality, Mrs. Crocombe really keeps up with currant events...
I'll see myself out.
Back to the Service Hall with you
Brilliant
You are raisin a valid point.
that pun had me beet 💀
Woo-hoo!
for this premiere - You will need....
patience
I know everyone’s head is in the gutter right now,( including mine) but was that a Rectangle sauce Pan!!!! 😃
Yaaaas i want one lol
Loll
I would love to see an episode where the kitchen is in full throttle with a meal preparation. All the servants there to show what it actually was like in the middle of prepping for dinner.
Omg YEEESSS
Unfortunately, I think it will never happen given already how rare it is for Mrs Crocombre to be already with another person on each videos.
Mrs. Crocombe would be standing in a corner with a glass of gin in one hand and a bullwhip in the other.
omg, I'm not even a minute in and she's already read the servants hall, the nursery, and all schools for filth.
wdym filth?
So true.
@@miguelt.4978 oh ok ok thx 😊
🤣😂🤣😂
😂 I can relate
Prepare yourselves for another English boiled thing!
English love to boil anything they can get there hands on 😂
Everything seems to be a pudding.
Me, looking at the ingredients: oh I spy suet, this is going to be thoroughly boiled for reasons.
Or... English boiled thingy...
The boiling kills the mites and other rank things from the ingredients lol. I'm sure that's why everything was boiled to death in our traditional desserts.
I wish we could see inside the pastry room or the room where they wash up and all that. Kinda get a tour of the entire kitchen area
"the dough doesn't want to be sticky so I shall add the rest of the milk a little at a time."
Hmmm, my mind thought of something else.
You missed " My cloth is already wet!"😂😂
@@LanguageExpert-hg8do 🤣😂🤣 I did!!
I remember when I was little my nan would order these at restaurants and I would burst out laughing. I still haven’t changed 😭
@Chelle Bright I like mine xtra large and xtra hard.
@@KingOfThePirates101 so you have good taste...👍🏻🤣🤣
she wants the D
(in Mrs Crocombe's voice: which really means "dough")
“Ah, you catch me in my bedchamber at such an inopportune time.”
Ahahahahaha xD
No
This is weird.
@@Quetzalcoatl-Dragon_97 yeahhh
🤣🤣🤣🤣
For this recipe you will need..... those words brings all kind of happiness...
please never stop making these videos
The amount of shade Mrs Crocombe must have stacked up for this is a bit, exciting 😅😁
She never disappoints
Mrs. Crocombe is actually a drag queen in the Victorian era....hahahahahaha....peace.....
She is very shady... just watch her eye movements 🤣
It's funny how I'm more invested in a short cookery video featuring a Victorian era chef, than with literally anything else coming out of mainstream media. More wholesome and real perhaps? Idk just a thought!
Mainstream media is for the sheeple
One hundred percent! I was just thinking this when I saw your comment
I left social media and MSM & life is SO MUCH NICER without them! I've been watching YT history vids & old sitcoms from the 70's....it's been awesome. It's nice to read a comment like this & know you're not alone. :)
merier please
I don't know about other countries but mainstream tv-shows and movies here in Sweden are at least 70% murder. *"Murder 24/7", "murder in paradise", "Murder, She Wrote", "murder and scandals in Hollywood", "murder without corpses", "the murders in Helsingör", "the murders in Sandhamn", "the murder of Olof Palme", "attempted murder with a parachute", "the new cases of the murder investigators"* - these are all from the same channel, a general entertainment channel that does not advertise itself as focused on murder (though I did limit myself to the letter M in their list of programmes because they were the most obvious).
One of the main reasons why I haven't bothered getting a TV is because I don't actually care for murder shows.
I am obsessed with 18th and 19th century cooking and I try a lot of the recipes, in Scotland we have this recipe a lot ,and my family thought this was a lovely recipe , I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
I was watching this with a clean mind, but then she added custard and....
I originally read this as 'duck' but when I looked at the title again I clutched my invisible pearls and clicked to the comment section so fast! How Mrs Crocombe come up with this title!?😂😂
It's actually a thing.
I would've never even imagine the word "d**k" and Mrs.Crocombe's name in a same sentence together. I was flabbergasted when I saw the title LOL!
SAME
No old name
@@peppermintbutler8205 Same 😂😂. I had to read the title twice, to see if I was reading that right.
for some completely unvictorian reason i'm afraid to go through the comments
The irony
Aw, go ahead, TWIST your own arm!
I feel like this is one of those Victorian recipes everyone has been waiting for.
Beautiful footage from the outside. The sun is so blindingly bright though that one appreciates getting in the shade, Mrs. Crocombe's shade.
I’m scared to giggle at the name around ms.crocombe
“Cheap and easily to make “ Mrs Crocombe so high class and elitist 😂😂😂😂
But we love her anyway 🥰
Bougie
@@shariwelch8760 it’s why we love her
Her point was, even rich children in swanky boarding schools got fed cheap food.
“It’s ideal for the servants...”
Me: TEA in the Audely End House!
“...or it’s very popular for the nursery and schools”
Me: 👁👄👁
POV: you are trying to find comments about the title
Lady Braybrooke a freak for this one ngl
😂😂😂😂
I love this comment section 😅😂🤣💀
LMAOOOOO
No, no, never served to the landed gentry.
*me: sees title.*
*also me: grinning and goes to the comment section first.*
I went to a google translation first. Cos I am not English so I thought I need to check my knowledge of that word 🤣🤣
How has she gone through making the intro for this video without breaking into laughter
Spotted Dough, oh yes lovely. A scullery maids favourite.
Mrs. Crocombe: It's very popular for the nursery and at schools 😃
Us: 👁👄👁
when she said custard in the end, I was like... oh no
Bruh
What?
When she says it's 'very cheap to make', she probably means the jokes.
A novympia parody of this specific recipe is needed ,
Oh, I wasn't told there'd be custard...
What?

There we are * moment of hesitant professionalism * s p o t t e d d i c k
I never knew that Plum Bolster Pudding is also known as Spotted . . . I'm looking forward to the day that someone gonna brag that this is their specialty
As long as they hand out penicillin, it shouldn't be a problem.
There HAS to be someone who has noticed the shape of that boiling pan...🤔
It's nice when things are specialized. You have exactly what you need, instead of simply "making do" with an alternative.
I did
It's always nice to have something for their specific purpose… *turbot kettle flashback*
I just knew when I saw the name of the dish, the comment section was getting ready to go all the way in!!!
i think the dish likes to go all the way in as well...
I can only imagine the look that Mrs Crocombe is giving to all the Americans doing their best to stifle their giggles over this
Im equally impressed how she said the name of the recipe with such a straight face. Over and over.
Everyone giggles at the name.
me : What the heck, is that a rectangular pot? @.@
*grabs light jacket in anticipation of the shade*
If You add cottage cheese and bake instead of boiling You get russian Zapekanka))
Tochno!
@Ted Hubert Pagnanawon Crusio ?

Only video you’ll giggle at
Looks like Mrs Crocombe got some new spectacles!
Well well well, i thought I was hungry, turns out I was thirsty 🥵🥵🥵
🤣
🤤
For Edgar? Get in line, Marco.
I’ve been watching Mrs. Crocombe for quite a while now. I’m always excited when new videos come out. I have a great respect for historical actors who are authentic and genuine, bringing of us a clear view of what life was like in times of old. Aside from the hilarious comments here, I am still patiently waiting for English Heritage to credit the music...
Yes! I've been wondering about the music also.
"It's very popular for the nursery and at schools. Every time anyone so much as mentions its name, their faces just light up with smiles and giggles."
Reading the name of the food opened my traumas from that pigeon pie and that rabbit pudding
I see I’m not the only one who hit the like button for something that starts in 15 hours!
Could you do an episode on the typical courses for a formal Victorian meal? Like, I've heard her say things like "third course ontrome" and I'm so curious!!!
The word is entremet, which is a French word meaning a smaller course.
Check out The Victorian Kitchen (1989). They recreate all kinds of 19th Century meals, including a grand banquet.
2:03
That little reassurance nod because something else must've crossed her mind.
Please never stop making these videos.
Wonderful memories of of school dinners....🍽 when this was always a winter favourite
Same
Even though primary school was in the 90s for me, they still served this, as well as the “rainbow sponge and pink custard” option
@@Sketchkat Rainbow sponge with pink custard ... ? Sounds like something a unicorn might eat ...
"it's quite cheap"? well i would hope so, given that it's spotted
I love the fandom's maturity. 😅
Stay safe and healthy everyone.
I love this channel so much. I can't explain how much my mind relaxes and enjoys every special moment in this Castle. ☺️
Mrs Crocombe’s been a little quieter than usual
I never clicked so fast for a cooking video
Love these videos. ASMR meets cooking meets historical shows.
One of my favourite puddings from schooldays - cannot beat the Marks and Spencer version. Lovely with double cream.
I've been laughing at the title for 5 minutes. 🤣🤣 What were Victorians on, man??
I’m beginning to think they were just trolling future generations. The cheeky bastards...
What weren't they on?
The dish name is older than the naughty meaning, apparently.
Title too much for our friends across the pond to handle,I see...(no pun intended)
How she can say that without even fumbling is astonishing to me
Just seen this and can’t believe how emotional it made me feel. My Mum made this every week in the 1950’s. I loved it.
I beg your pardon a spotted what-
that would be delightful

ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOW ON THIS CHANNEL!! Its so heartwarming and lovely
Suet pastry really is the easiest, tastiest and most versatile of pastries....used in countless traditional British dishes from roly poly to dumplings, you can't go wrong with it
Unless, of course, you give a hoot about animal welfare and about the ruinous effect that livestock is having on the climate crisis. Please use vegetable shortening or vegan butter. Thanks.
