6 oz self-raising flour
3 oz suet
1/4 tsp salt
1 cold water to mix
4 oz soft brown sugar
1 oz butter
2 large cooking apples
Directions
Butter the pudding basin thickly with the ounce of butter, then press
in 3 ounces of the sugar. Mix the flour, salt and suet together. Add
just enough cold water to make a soft. but not sticky dough. Do not
overwork or you will get tough pastry. Roll out two-thirds of the
pastry and line the buttery, sugary basin. Slice in the peeled and
cored apples. Sprinkle in the last ounce of sugar. Make a circle for
a lid with the last of the pastry. Moisten the edges to make a firm
seal, pinching the two layers of pastry together well. Trim any
surplus. Cover with a double layer of greaseproof and steam for two
hours. Turn out your pudding for service and a caramel sauce will be
coating the outside.

The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different herbs, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Apple & Caramel Pudding recipe.
