Welsh Amber Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place apple chunks, brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and cinnamon in bowl, and toss until apples are well coated. Transfer to a 9-inch (2-liter) baking dish, and set aside.
• Beat the butter and white sugar in a medium size bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Sift the flour into the bowl, and stir to incorporate flour into the butter mixture.
• Spread the dough evenly over the apples. Place the baking dish in preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned and cooked evenly.
• Lightly dust the top with a bit of white sugar, and serve immediately with custard or whipped cream. Or let cool, and serve later at room temperature. TIP: This will freeze well for up to 3 months if wrapped well. Defrost thoroughly, then reheat thawed pudding at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• FOR SHORTCRUST PASTRY: Sieve the flour and salt together into a bowl.
• Cut the butter (or if using the lard/butter combo) ½ inch (1.5 cm) cubes and rub lightly into flour, lifting the mixture to add air, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Make a well in the middle of the mixture and stir in enough water using a knife, until a soft but not sticky pastry is formed.
• Cover tightly and allow to rest in a fridge for 15 - 30 minutes.
• Roll out the pastry and use to line a 7 inch (15 cm) tart tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C or mark 6) for 10 -15 minutes until set.
• Beat together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, grated lemon rind and marmalade. Whisk in the melted butter.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pastry and bake at 375°F (190°C or mark 5) for a further 20 minutes. Serve warm from the oven or allow to cool and serve that way too.

Steps:

• Mix ingredients together, making a thin batter.
• Pour like pancakes on a hot, greased griddle.
• Add a few currants in the middle of batter while frying.
• Brown on both sides. Put on plate and spread with butter and sugar.
• Stack like pancakes, then use a sharp knife and cut into quarters.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Arrange berries in the bottom of a greased 10" baking dish.
• Combine eggs, egg yolks, flour, sugar, salt and milk in a blender or food processor.
• Process until well mixed.
• Pour batter over berries.
• Place dish on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
• Remove from oven and cool; batter may sink a little.
• Just before serving, spoon brandy over top and dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Butter 6 ovenproof dishes lavishly. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the grated cheese in the bottom of each buttered dish.
• Break the eggs in a saucer and then slip the eggs (2) over the surface of the cheese. Take care not to break yolk. Allow 2 eggs per dish.
• Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over the surface of each dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place in a 325° oven for 20 minutes or until the eggs are fairly firm and just coated over. Serve at once.
• Serve with wedges of buttered toast for dipping into the egg yolk and the melted cheese.
