How a mid-19th century curd pudding was prepared
In short: Step inside a kitchen from 1850 to explore the delicate process of making Mrs Bliss's curd pudding, a historical recipe involving wine, milk, and precise textures.
This video demonstrates a recipe from 1850 that begins by adding half a pint of wine to two quarts of boiling milk. Once the curd has set and the whey is removed, the cook must prepare a mixture of butter, fine sugar, beaten eggs, and nutmeg.
The final pudding is created by combining the curd with this sweetened mixture, baking the result in small patty pans, and serving it alongside a wine sauce.
