As always, thank you so much for watching! Answers to some of your FAQs for this episode can be found below: WHAT IS BLACK TREACLE? Black treacle is a by-product of sugar refining and is available in most UK supermarkets. It comes in several grades, ranging from light “golden syrup”, to the dark or “black” treacle used for this recipe. As an alternative (particularly in the US) you can use blackstrap molasses, which is similar but tends to be a little heavier and more bitter in flavour than black treacle. WHY WAS WHITE BREAD OFTEN PREFERRED OVER BROWN BREAD? Brown bread had long been seen as inferior; white was more expensive and therefore more prestigious, at least until the invention of roller mills in the 1860s. By the 1880s, the tide was turning a little - the wholemeal bread specialists Hovis were founded in 1886, followed by Allinson in 1892 - but brown bread remained a minority taste. This is partly as it was a little challenging to eat, partly as it was not as easy to match with food, and partly because it was feared too much fibre would bring on flatulence. WHY IS A COPPER BOWL BEST? The copper bowl is brilliant for raising eggs as the copper reacts with the egg white proteins and makes for a stiff and stable foam. WHAT CAN I USE INSTEAD OF WINE? Full disclosure: we haven’t tested this recipe with any other ingredients and cannot guarantee the results. However, you could try milk, or almond milk. Custard will do in place of the wine sauce. WHAT IS ANGELICA? Angelica is a plant with hollow stems, and is widely used candied as a form of dessert decoration. IS IT TRUE THAT VICTORIAN WHITE BREAD WAS HIGHLY TOXIC TO DIGEST? White bread had indeed been heavily adulterated in the early-mid Victorian period. Arthur Hill Hassall's tests in London in the 1850s showed that not a single white loaf was pure. Bakers (and millers), squeezed by consumer demand for cheap white bread, and working in often appalling conditions, habitually added alum (an astringent that was very bad for sensitive stomachs, but also an accepted 'flour improver', which had the additional benefit of allowing much more water to be added to the bread), chalk, plaster of Paris, and various flour substitutes such as peameal, potato starch and so forth. None of these would kill you, though the alum could make you rather ill. But in an age of often severe malnutrition, the addition of other elements meant that the diet of those who relied most upon bread was made even poorer. Many households consequently baked their own bread, although, especially in the south of England, buying it was increasingly the norm even in very large houses (and including the royal household). By the 1880s (Mrs Crocombe is cooking in 1881) bread had improved due to consumer pressure and the start of government regulation.

I love how her views are historically accurate. Oh we only have refined white bread at this household. Brown breads are for servants, or (looks at the camera) a middle class family.
EVERY video has me going like this: Me: "I have these things! I could make this right... " Mrs. Crocombe: "And then you'll need fairy gold and crystallized unicorn tears." Me: " Sonuva.... "
There's a mystery novel called Death Below Stairs, about a cook in Victorian London who investigates a murder. She's portrayed as very competent, composed and down-to-earth, and as I was reading the book I couldn't help but picture Ms Hipperson playing her :D
Mrs Crocombe's videos are like a box of chocolates that someone gives you for no particular reason, just for you to be happy! Thank you, English Heritage!

Lay Lyn--If you go down the baking aisle of any supermarket, you will see that there are various types of molasses. treacle is NOT the same as table molasses. There are several good websites that discuss the types of molasses and how they are produced.
One MercilessMing oh I thought black treacle was molasses, I have both right now...not any major difference. The golden syrup is different though. The word “treacle” is defined as any syrup made in the refining of cane sugar. This includes molasses and black treacle...but they both make my ginger loaf moist and delicious 😋
@@Elle9228000 It is basically the same as they are both from sugar cane, unless you are talking about sorghum molasses which come from a type of grass. You can also get molasses from sugar beet but it very nasty to the human taste buds so it is used mostly in animal feed. We grow a lot of sugar beets in Mich.
There's something very comforting, when you're feeling poorly, about laying in the sofa and watching Mrs Crocombe cooking videos for hours. Feels like medicine for the soul.
Mrs. Crocombe: Hm, brandy or wine? *Remembers all those brandy-heavy recipes over the last few years* Mrs. Crocombe: I think I'll use wine. ... But better soak the cherries in brandy! Can't have something with no brandy at all!
Steamed puddings are lovely, especially in cold weather served warm. My family always made steamed carrot pudding (think carrot cake, but as a steamed pudding) in the winter. We didn't serve it with wine sauce though, sorry Mrs. C., we used a hot lemon sauce instead. So yummy.
My parents used a small pressure cooker, but you could steam it in a pot of water just like in the video. Just keep it at a simmer and don't let the pot boil dry.
There's something warm about Mrs. Crocombe, the kind of distant aunt who will be strict about you learning how to cook, a firm guiding hand, but teach you with encouragement and kindness :')
Actually, almost all of her meals look unappealing to me but I really love watching her cooking and talking and gossiping. You are a real QUEEN, ma'am!
"Good for upper servants - or a middle class family" 🤣 I guess in Victorian times only the lower orders would've had brown bread. How times have changed.
I read somewhere the British use of puddings came about because you can cook them without needing an oven, making them appropriate for a wide range of socioeconomic classes.
I actually have known pudding made with bread since my whole childhood. :D Also if you go to south tyrol for your holidays and live in a very upper class hotel for the time being it is guaranteed they will serve you pudding like this :) I already tried many different variations like spinach bread pudding or mushroom pudding. The pudding can be also made very sweet instead of savory - just add chocolate instead. it is delicious
Half these recipes are things that my gran used to make when I was a kid. Seeing these vids is like going back and being in her kitchen again. The memories are rolling like a flood.
I love how everything is so silent in the background so you have her voice, which is nice, and when she's not speaking you can hear the utensils against the bowl like asmr.
What a lovely Brown Bread Pudding, I think I shall have to try this in my middle-class family. Mrs. Crocombe has once more inspired me to see if I can make a no-waste dish with the leftover stale bread that remains after my meals. Thank you for sharing the goings-on at the Audley End Kitchens.
This channel continues to be such a delight. My world is just a little brighter thanks to these videos. Kudos to everyone involved in the production of this content!
wonderful my nan and mother both use to make this when we had stale bread in the house, I love it still too, thank you so much for bringing back a wonderful favourite pudding to mind , have a beautiful week

Lembach Ha ha, true! And where do you even find a mold like that? Where do you find all these cooking utensils and accessories?
I feel the same way. 😂
You can find molds at any good kitchen supply store. A decorative bundt pan could probably work as well.

"All puddings are improved with a wine sauce." I'm pretty sure that *everything* is improved with a wine sauce.
Sometimes it doesn't even make it into the sauce...
Cheap cheese? Add a wine sauce and you have fondue.

Mrs. Crocombe: I think I'll use wine.
... But better soak the cherries in brandy! Can't have something with no brandy at all!
wherefancytakesme true!
It kills germs and stuff.Remember ale before water.
I'm obsessed with this Victorian cooking
I have never tasted a steamed pudding in my life. I trust Mrs Crocombe not to poison me therefore I might try it one day or another.
Steamed puddings are lovely, especially in cold weather served warm. My family always made steamed carrot pudding (think carrot cake, but as a steamed pudding) in the winter. We didn't serve it with wine sauce though, sorry Mrs. C., we used a hot lemon sauce instead. So yummy.
@@dee-annegordon5959 You used a hot lemon sauce instead? Somewhere, The Crocombe is shaking her head in silent disapproval as only she can.
@@dee-annegordon5959 how do you steam it? Like ham pao or siu mai?
My parents used a small pressure cooker, but you could steam it in a pot of water just like in the video. Just keep it at a simmer and don't let the pot boil dry.
@@dee-annegordon5959 thank you. Someday I'll make a steamed dessert. Closer thing I've made with water around dessert is flan, but in the oven
1:22 when her eyes snap onto the camera- I feel like she was staring into my soul for a second there.
God, I love this series. XD
For the upper servants. the lower servants get oatmeal.
Luxury!
"Health breads help with (looks at camera) digestion."
How does she always know?
But what, pray tell, is a "health bread"?
@@CodexArgenteus It's what we'd call today a whole-grain/multigrain bread; very full of fiber to help...move things along...in the water closet. :-P
I was just thinking last night “You know, it’s been a minute since we got a new Ms. Crocumb video. I hope the actress hasn’t quit or something.”
Seems these videos take a month to make and 6 minutes once edited..lol
Oh that would be heartbreaking if she ever left. 😳
Crocombe* 😄
I hope she realizes how many lives she's influenced.

"For this recipe, you will need..."
Me: "candied peel!"
Mrs. Crocombe: "candied peel"
Me: "YEEEEES"
I'm at work and watching Mrs. Crocombe. This is my life now.
I love how she makes "sauce" sound like "Source"
True. I noticed that too.
That is the Cockney in her accent, something fairly common among the working class of England. It was considered unrefined. But i personally love it.
A well-made sauce is the source of all goodness.
That is how you pronounce it.
@@kkm9292 She's not Cockney at all, her accent is more West Country....maybe Cornwall.....

I mean, I dunno, these days, it’s a compliment. Most of us millennials don’t meet the annual salary threshold to be middle class.
“It’s time to whisk the egg whites. This can be done much quicker in a copper bowl.”
