OK, here's a good recipe. One litre of milk - start it on the boil with a good lump of butter - between 15 - 30mls - in it. In the meantime whisk 2 eggs, a good heaped 1/3 cup of sugar, about 10mls vanilla essence, 40mls flour and 40mls cornstarch or cornflour, whatever you call it in your country. Make a good paste of all this in a large bowl. As soon as the milk comes to boil pour it onto your paste and stir the hell out of it to stop it clumping. With a whisk. Switch the heat of and pour the whole lot back in the saucepan and let it just simmer slightly on residual heat. Lovely stuff.

Also, it was probably not sufficiently elegant or sophisticated to be served at the masters' table. However, she has made simple dishes -- and there's no harm in asking.

@@Certainvie Early in my adulthood I burned out the motor on a mixer and had to finish my Christmas baking by hand. I quickly found that I actually preferred the hand methods because it made way less mess, I could feel the difference between just right and overdone in a way I’d never even imagined, and, biggest surprise of all, 99% of the tasks weren’t actually any more difficult to do by hand than they had been when I’d learned to bake using my mom’s nice stand mixer. At that point, I’d had a hand mixer and was looking forward to graduating to a stand mixer…that Christmas I learned I’d rather use my money some other way. But whipping egg whites is the one task I truly do find easier with an electric tool. I have an immersion blender with a removable head that you can switch out for a whisk attachment, and that’s my go to for egg whites now.

I don't think I've ever seen Crocombe so pleased to have a visitor to her busy kitchen. She must be in a good mood. Maybe there were no troubles with the rest of the staff today, or a brutal heat wave finally ended. Hmmm, according to Wikipedia, she didn't marry until after leaving Audley End. Crocombe is, after all, her maiden name. Maybe she had a pleasant walk with that fellow who manages the apples. I sensed some chemistry there in a previous video, and I ain't talkin' cider. I realize I'm totally failing the Bechtel test on that last one, but I feel like gossiping.

*Mrs. Crocombe stares straight at the camera* “Not forgetting the cinnamon.” It means somebody previously forgot the cinnamon, and you BETTER NOT forget that cinnamon.

Every time I hear Kathy say, "For this recipe you will need..." it just warms my heart.

Interestingly this was a pudding course, like a sponge pud, tart etc. Dessert meant fruit and nuts perhaps eaten with knife and fork quite often.

I wish there was more of these... I also love it when they have a story line to them.
