Description

Our next recipe for this Tasting History series is a Flour Pudding! For this recipe, simply scald a quart of milk and add 5 spoons of flour to it while the milk is still hot. Once that’s cooled add 7 well beaten eggs, 6 ounces of sugar then some salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to your taste. Bake it for an hour and serve it with a sweet sauce. Our chef enjoys a good pudding and thought this would be fun to try. Other than some clumping issues with the flour and milk, this recipe came together rather easily. Our chef said they stayed true to the spirit of the 18th century and mixed this by hand but confessed that if they made this again, they’d mix it with an immersion blender. Introducing our next taste tester, Tom! Tom was excited to give this a go but stopped to give it a quick sniff test… then a much more thorough sniff test to be certain. On to the first bite and, hey, I think he liked it! Tom felt this one was great and recommends it as a treat for you to try.
