Best English Puddings

01

Summer pudding

3.1 ·

Summer pudding is an uncooked English dessert that is essentially a bread pudding made from slices of white bread, sugar, and mixed fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, and currants. Traditionally, it is prepared in a bowl that is turned upside down, so that the bread soaks up all of the fruit juices, and the pudding develops a domed shape. It is recommended to serve summer pudding with a dollop of two of double-cream on the side.

02

Christmas pudding

2.9 ·

Christmas pudding is a staple dessert at every British Christmas dinner ever since its introduction by Prince Albert. Early versions contained meat such as beef or mutton, along with wine, onions, dried fruits, and warming spices. Today, Christmas pudding does not contain meat, but fruits, eggs, suet, molasses, and spices instead of it, and every family has their own recipe for this steamed treat.

03

Queen of puddings

n/a ·

Queen of puddings is a traditional dessert consisting of a custard with breadcrumbs soaked in milk, acting as a base, which is then topped with fruit jam and an airy meringue. The history of this sweet dish is quite murky, as some believe that it dates back to the 17th century, while others claim that it originated in the 19th century. Regardless of the origins, most people enjoy this pudding without a second thought when it is served warm on the table.
