5 British Puds to create at home
1. STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING
The origins of the Sticky Toffee Pudding are disputed between three regions of the UK (Scotland, Yorkshire and Cumbria). This soft sponge cake dessert is a mystery of who and where it was invented. The Raku wide rim bowl is he perfect solution for consistent presentation of sauce-heavy dishes.
2. APPLE CRUMBLE
Apple crumble is a British pudding that originated during World War II food rationing. The crumble topping is made of butter, flour, and brown sugar rolled together so that it resembles breadcrumbs. Emulating traditional rustic hand thrown textures with a blend of contemporary sophistication and nostalgia, the Charcoal Black design is perfect for serving up traditional dishes.
3. VICTORIA SPONGE
In the early Victorian period, afternoon tea consisted of seed cake and fruit cake. For safety reasons, it was believed that children should not eat a cake containing pieces of fruit or seeds. The light and fluffy Victoria Sponge was prepared as a teatime treat for them instead. Sit back and relax with a sweet strawberry jam with soft cream between two light sponge cakes - recreate the restaurant and foodie experience every day with your home baking. Plate up your Victoria Sponge cakes in style with our Stonecast Duck Egg Blue collection.
4. BAKEWELL PUDDING
This hot pudding was the result of a misunderstanding between a mistress and her cook; visiting noblemen had ordered a strawberry tart, but instead of stirring the egg mixture into the pastry, the cook spread it on top of a layer of jam - and this is how the Bakewell pudding was created. The Stonecast walled plate in Barley White is a great canvas for food presentation.
5. RHUBARB & CUSTARD
The famous Rhubarb and Custard sweets were created by Jim Banard - this pairing was a great inspiration for chefs to create their own versions of the dish. Seen here, a deconstructed version presented on our Stonecast Peppercorn Grey range.
