"The UK recipe calls for self rising flour, as well as baking soda.

The UK one also uses double cream for the topping, which is very thick and generally unavailable here. That may explain some of the watery sauces noted. Substitutions for both can be found online"
You will likely have more success if you source a suitable product more related to the original ingredient.
