Bath puddings

Four little custard puddings on white and pink decorated plate surrounded by Daphne flowers and viburnum blossom.

These little boozy baked custards, served chilled, make a good accompaniment to stewed fruit. This recipe is adapted from that of Hannah Glasse in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy.

Equipment

  • 6 pudding moulds (7.5cm)
  • Weighing scales
  • Measuring jug
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric hand whisk
  • Roasting tin

Preparation method

  • Grease the pudding moulds with butter.
  • Place the eggs in the large mixing bowl and beat with the electric hand whisk.  Add the milk, sugar, rosewater and Marsala or Madeira and continue to beat until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.  
  • Grate in the nutmeg and stir in.
  • Pour into the pudding moulds and leave to stand for an hour.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 150C/300F/gas 2.
  • Place the puddings in the roasting tin and pour boiling water from the kettle in to reach half-way up the sides of the pudding moulds.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the puddings are set but still retain a bit of a wobble.
  • Allow to cool and place in the fridge to chill before turning out. Sprinkle the tops with the nutmeg before serving.
