Spotted Dick

Directions

1. 1
   ["Mix the flour, currants and grated suet (it should have the general consistency of mouse droppings) very lightly by hand.", "Moisten with a couple of tablespoons of cold water, enough to give a dryish pastry texture.", "DO NOT RUB, only stir enough to bind the ingredients together.", "The mixture can be put into a buttered basin and covered with first a layer of foil, then a cloth (tied on with string), but the usual way is to make a thick roll shape, and wrap it in buttered greaseproof (waxed?) paper, and tie into a cloth.", "Boil in a lot of water for two to three hours on top of the stove, or all day if using a crock pot.", "To serve, slice it into 1\" thick chunks while still hot.""
