Called a "rice pudding" this dessert is by all modern interpretations a pie. Here is the recipe below translated into modern measurements from the original. It tastes like a rice flavored custard! If you prefer your desserts to be on the sweeter side add more sugar than what the original calls for. The original instructs that you can either boil the filling in a bag without a crust or you can bake it in a crust. Below are instructions for how to bake it in a crust like a pie. Ingredients: 1/2 cup rice flour 3.6 cups whole milk The rind of 1 lemon 1 cinnamon stick 3 eggs Half a tablespoon of nutmeg .25 cups of sugar 1/4 cup currants (optional) Directions: Put 1/2 cup of rice flour into a pan with 3.6 cups of milk. Mix up well till no longer lumpy. A whisk helps tremendously with this. Put the rind of 1 lemon and a cinnamon stick into it and put over your fire. Stir frequently till it boils. Beat it up well till thick then reduce your heat and let it simmer for 25 minutes. Once done set aside to cool. Now beat up 3 eggs with a your half tablespoon of nutmeg and .25 cups of sugar. To the now cooled milk mixture previously mentioned remove the cinnamon stick and lemon rind. Add the beat up eggs, sugar and nutmeg mixture to your cooled milk and currants if using. Line a pie plate with paste and pour in the filling. Bake at 350 degrees/175 C for 1 hour. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

I've always loved the way old recipes have such inexact measurements. A pinch, a handful, a scoop. I have to admit that my favourite is now, 'as much beef as you can afford'. If that doesn't describe most families' recipes at some point then I don't know what does.

In the 1960's we were out of electricity for at least a week. My mom cooked in the fire place for a week and fed the neighbors. She was in heaven. After WW2, she had lived in a house built in 1800 in a coal mining village in England. It had a fireplace used for cooking and a primus stove. During the aftermath of the storm, she found bbq brickets in the store as the wood and presto logs were gone. I am going to practice doing this when I go camping this summer!

If you don't want the currants to sink to the bottom; dampen them then coat it more rice flour. Drop them in after you pour the pudding into pie shell. I usually push a few in about 1/3 of the way. You can do this most things if you want them more distributed throughout the pie. Works with a lot cake recipes too.🙂

I love your videos. My father taught me how to cook over fire as a child. And this brings back wonderful memories. I want to point out something, you eat an amazing amount of beef (protein) and use an amazing amount of spices something the everyday person wouldn’t have been able to afford in the 1800’s. Now I realize that you are using beef as a substitute for wild game when I say this. But I want viewers to know how costly those items were in the 1800’s. But here are somethings that I want to point out to your viewers. 1) Sugar, coffee, and other species were still a rare and costly commodity in the 1800’s. 2) You have a fortune in utensils and those would have been possessions that a young lady would have saved for her dowry. Not to mention the lovely furniture and pottery which you posses. People have zero idea about the craftsmanship involved and various artisans involved. 3) Your access to recipes would have been hampered not only by education but access to that information. 4). Lastly, you would have been considered middle class with all of the possessions that you have in the cabin and the land that you would have owned. Keep doing what you are doing! It it so important historically. How can we appreciate our technological advances and our history without your work!
