Spotted Dick with a Peach & Cinnamon Compote

Let me first explain what a Spotted Dick is since I know that's the only thing you're thinking about right now. It's a pudding. Actually, a very classic, famous British pudding. I won't say it's a cake but more like a round ball? A sponge? The word 'Dick' is actually a colloquial word for pudding.

Basically we had to make a dough and then place balls of that dough into greased dariole moulds (see below for a picture of a dariole mould) that are lined with parchment paper. The dariole moulds were then placed into a pot that had water coming halfway up the sides. The heat was set on low & the pot was covered with a lid. Obviously, the water started turning into steam and that steam is what cooked the dough in the dariole mould & made it rise. This was a steaming process. 

 The Peach & Cinnamon Compote was a hit for all the Peach fans out there. A very simple recipe which included Vanilla Extract, Butter, Cinnamon, Honey, Brown Sugar & of course PEACHES. 

The Peach & Cinnamon Compote doesn't only have to be paired with Spotted Dick; It could be paired with any other pudding or waffle.

To top off the Spotted Dick, we poured some homemade custard on top ( Chef Julia said that custard is a great combination with it ) & there we have it, Spotted Dick with a Peach & Cinnamon Compote!
