How to Make Custard Pudding - The Victorian Way

[Music] today I'm going to make custard pudding I think I might add this one to my notebook cookbook I started keeping it when I was young when I first started cooking it was the best advice I was ever given and I always encourage my maids to do the same usually I make custard pudding with isinglass but the grocer in Wilton didn't have any so today I'm going to have to use gelatine I hope it works for this recipe you will need cream gelatine [Music] egg yolks orange flower water brandy and black currant jam now to make an excellent custard firstly I've taken a quarter of the cream heated it a little and melted the gelatine now I'm going to whisk some eggs simple sweets like this are eaten in the second course Lord and Lady brave Rach are very fond of custard in fact I think Lord brave work would eat it with everything now these are well whipped I'm going to add the rest of the cold cream and now the warm cream and now to make this thicken I need to put it over a low heat [Music] you need to heat it in order to thicken it but you must be careful not to curdle it [Music] now the custard is thoroughly cool I can add the brandy and a little orange flower water is quite an old-fashioned flavor and scent I'm only going to use a little because it can be quite overpowering and I wouldn't want to cheapen it it's now time to put the custard into the mold I've already lined it with almond oil so all I need to do is to pour the custard in very good I'm now going to put it in the icebox [Music] now my custard is set it's time to D mold it I've heated up a little black currant jam with some port and ginger wine and put it through a sieve I'm now going to pour it just around the side of the custard I must make sure it's not too hot I don't want it to melt the custard [Music] and there we have it my custard pudding [Music] you
