Cooking pud, son tastes dough (11)

I believe the answer is:

spondulicks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dough' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'cooking pud son tastes' is the wordplay.
'cooking' is an anagram indicator (cook can mean to falsify or distort).
'tastes' becomes 'licks' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pud'+'son'='pudson'
'pudson' anagrammed gives 'spondu'.
'spondu'+'licks'='SPONDULICKS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spondulicks that I've seen before include "rhino" , "Cash" , "Money (informal)" .)
