  • This is from our school dinners set of videos we done a few years ago and I thought i'd update it and put it on our Butlers Empire channel. It was a favourite of many a child in the 60's and 70's when I was at school and this jam sponge with desiccated coconut sprinkled on the top with a pink custard which was really a blancmange powder. Let's see how it turns out.

    My wife was a cook at middle school and has confirmed what pink custard is. It’s not blancmange this is the recipe. Cornflour,sugar and milk mixed as you would custard. Then you would add strawberry flavouring/colouring. Great videos mate keep them coming !!!

    • @butlersempire
      @butlersempire  2 года назад +1

      I suppose it varied from where you lived.

    • @IndyIndie59
      @IndyIndie59 Год назад

      This actually made me look up the difference between blancmange and custard ... basically custard has eggs and blancmange doesn't although with powdered custard mixes one wonders how much egg is actually in them anyway.

    • @rhonddalesley
      @rhonddalesley Год назад

      I make all my sauces that way but with a knob of butter if needed to stop them sticking, whether it be parsley, cheese, onion, brandy for Christmas pud or custard (adding vanilla extract). I know you put eggs in custard if you make it yourself but I’ve never known it to be in custard powder/mix or ready made.
      On another note, egg custard tart makes me heave but I love quiche 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @DiAllinson
      @DiAllinson Год назад +1

      Yes that's what I would have thought, my nanna made hers the cornflour way and I still make cornflour custard, and just add brandy for brandy sauce at Christmas.
      But the blancmange way looks great too, I'll definitely try this

I was hoping you'd start shaking your head side to side in extasy like the old food vids 🤣 I left school in the early 90's and we had stuff like this right through the 80's. My favourite was spam fritter and at Christmas they used to wrap 20p's in tinfoil and put them in the pudding (everyone got one) Imagine if they did that today.

    Loving the school dinners series. I would like to see gingerbread (cake?) with lemon sauce.
    I was lucky I went to school in 60 and early 70s in UK then came to Australia where I finished the last years of school and started nursing (we had to live in the nurses home back then but the food was awesome). So I got to enjoy vintage English and Australian dishes. I have a huge arsenal of recipes as a consequence.

    My absolute all time favourite at Primary School was Chocolate Sponge & GREEN, Mint flavoured Custard (?). Never seen or had it since. I remember how it was extremely popular and they sadly only served it very occasionally. This was back in the early 70's, God only knows what the "Custard" actually was. It was really good though.

    My favourite pudding at comprehensive school (can't remember much about primary school dinners) from 64/69 was chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce/custard. We didn't have it often but when we did, a couple of other kids used to give me theirs so I simply stuffed my face with several helpings. I still love it and still eat it - chocolate muffins heted up in the microwave and chocolate sauce/custard.

My mum used to make it, I think it was an old rationed war time recipe, can't find it anywhere! I'm sure it was something like just flour and water steamed in a tea towel and doused in golden syrup that had been a little thinned with water and heated up !!!! It was very smooth and shiny on the outside and quite heavy if I remember but as a kid we loved it !!! Wouldn't be on a gourmet menu today that's for sure !!! Haha!! Keep up the good work people !!!!

    I think when we had pink custard with this pudding, they said it was blancmange. When my mum used to make for us she used to make it blancmange and it used to taste the same as it did at school. One of my favourites for sure. I also used to love a ginger cake they did, it was firmer than a sponge, but was definitely my favourite. Never been able to re construct that one. That would have been early 60s I am referring to. I think you have lit a light in Martin somewhere. Judging from his expressions. Hehe.
