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
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of cookery books published in the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in recipe publications, most of which are kept safe in private collections. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
