Forgotten Puddings?

Hi

What about manchester tart.
We used to have it for school dinners but occasionally have it.
A pastry base with strawberry or raspberry jam, then custard on top and dried coconut sprinkled on top.

I hadn't thought of that for ages

and treacle tart ( but I buy that rather than make it)

Yummy:rotfl: :rotfl:

oooohhh! My nanna used to make a lovely rice pud for us - but instead of the creamy way she would make it so it was more solid, bit like a cake. However i have never been sure if she made it just because i didnt like it the creamy way or if that was how it used to be done. Everybody i mention it to thinks im crazy and say they only ever had the creamy version.

Has anyone heard of rice pud being made like this as occasionally i crave it (funny really as nanna died when i was 4, it is one of my fond memories of nanna who used to let me help her make it, the good old days ey?).

We used to have rice pudding, macaroni pudding and tapioca pudding as kids - the brown caramelised skin was the best! And there had to be lot of milk so it was quite runny. I was never that keen on bread and butter pudding with sultanas.

We often whip up a jam or treacle sponge in the microwave, using a basic sponge mix (6663). My Mum would boil hers for hours in a tupperware basin with a lid in a saucepan of water.

my aunty Jenny used to make this one:

It's lemon jelly . . . with tinned pears in! Mmm! Best with plenty of pears so you get the texture all the way through.

If you cook a rice pudding for too long in the oven it goes really solid, especially as it cools (as the rice absorbs more milk).
Perhaps this was how your Nanna liked to make it.

I used to add extra rice to mine so it went solid. OH loved to take a slice to work in his lunchbox every day!

My grandma used to make macaroni pudding-I'd completely forgotten about it. She also made milk puddings with flaked tabioca and flaked rice-don't know if you can still buy them and a lovely boiled batter pudding with blackcurrants that she served with brown sugar sprinkled on top.

I'm hungry now.

Tesco do Flaked Pudding Rice - it's the only place we've found though (Grandma got a bit whistful for it a few months back so the family went on a hunt )


This thread has made me hungry too - now, what can I make that no-one else likes, lol :whistle: :rotfl:

Microwave Chocolate Pudding

Pudding Sauce
4 ozs soft margarine (100g) 1 oz cocoa (25g)
4 ozs caster sugar (100g) 1 oz caster sugar (25g)
2 eggs 1 tbsp Golden Syrup
3 ozs Self Raising Flour (75g) 6 oz can of evaporated milk (170g)
1 oz cocoa powder (25g) 1 oz butter (25g)
2 tsp cornflour

Recipe allegedly serves 4, depends how chocoholic they are.

Prepare 1½ pint pudding basin, by greasing & base lining with greaseproof paper.
Pudding
1) Place margarine, sugar & eggs in a bowl, sift in flour & cocoa, beat until smooth.
2) Spoon the mixture into a 1½ pint ( 750 ml ) greased & base lined pudding basin, level the top and cook for 4 mins on full power. (5 mins in our microwave) until well risen, and pudding springs back when pressed with finger tips. Run a knife round the edge of the sponge, invert the basin onto a serving plate & LEAVE FOR 5 MINS BEFORE REMOVING BASIN.
3) Meanwhile, make the sauce. Sift cocoa into a large heatproof jug, add caster sugar, syrup, then gradually stir in the evaporated milk. Mix until smooth, add butter cut into pieces.
4) Cook for 1 minute ( I make that 1½ ) on full power until hot. Mix cornflour to a smooth paste ( I use 3 teaspoons) with a little water. Stir this into the cocoa mixture, and cook for 1 min (2 in ours) until thickened. ( I find that if this hasn’t worked, stirring well, and putting back in microwave for bursts of ½ minute, interspersed with more stirring to maintain smoothness, eventually works)
5) Serve
