English Hasty Pudding
All you need for this surprisingly good stand-by pudding are milk, flour, butter, sugar and a little spice. It takes just a few minutes to make, hence its name, and can be eaten hot or cold. It is particularly good served with poached fruit.
Ingredients
- 2 oz butter
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 3/4 pint fresh milk
- 1 egg
- Freshly grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 oz light soft brown sugar
Instructions
- Put 25 g (1 oz) of the butter, the flour and milk in a saucepan. Heat, whisking continuously, until the sauce thickens, boils and is smooth. Simmer for 1 -2 minutes. Stir in the egg, then pour into a flameproof serving dish.
- Dot with the remaining butter and sprinkle generously with nutmeg or cinnamon and the sugar. Brown quickly under a hot grill.
- Serve hot on its own or with poached fruit such as apples, pears or rhubarb.
