I'm not sure what went wrong, but my spotted dick turned out really dense and heavy. It was still edible, but not what I was hoping for.

This was surprisingly good! I'm not usually a fan of steamed puddings, but this one had a really nice texture and flavor.

This recipe is okay, but I found it to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.
