Chestnut Pudding
Quote: |
(1736) The Compleat Housewife: or, Accomplish'd Gentlewomans Companion, by Eliza Smith.
Take a dozen and half of chestnuts, put them in a skillet of water, and set them on the fire till they will blanch; then blanch them, and when cold, put them in cold water, then stamp them in a mortar, with orange-flower-water and sack, till they are very small; mix them in two quarts of cream, and eighteen yolks of eggs, the whites of three or four; beat the eggs with sack, rose-water and sugar; put it in a dish with puff-paste; stick in some lumps of marrow or fresh butter, and bake it. |
We substituted a tin of chestnut puree for the first bit, and used butter instead of marrow and scaled down the overall size a bit, but it was lovely. Very delicate but satisfying taste, works well with a rich or flavoured cream or icecream |
