Posset At The Palace !

[@RG-5834]

Chef Darren, you are a treasure, and I could listen to you all day!

[@mr.martinez1603]

If this inspires anyone to get into professional cooking, just know that you’re not gonna find a chef like this out there. This dude is one in a million Edit: referring to his personality

[@biloz2988]

Chef Jean is the best. He's Italian-French and the best around.

[@carolynwalsh4136]

Thank you for the tips on U.S. cream vs. U.K. Cream also love the “how to keep the biscuits” on the bottom tip.

[@tomfurgas2844]

Chef McGrady, your warm and engaging personality makes these recipes even more tempting. I look forward to all your videos and I hope you keep doing them for us. It's great to get a firsthand look at the recipes enjoyed by Her Majesty Elizabeth II.

[@SharonH11100]

Having three lemon trees and loving lemon curd, I know I’ like this very much. I’m very glad you explained how to make our American cream work in the recipe: thank you!🙋🏼‍♀️

[@rubynelson1164]

You can do the same with sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

[@a-5699]

I made this for my family. Chef, you weren’t kidding; very easy to make, delicious, and everyone loved it. And those biscuits are killer with a cup of coffee too. Thanks!!!!

[@jjroy3389]

I make Posset quit often as it is so simple, but rich and elegant. The amoretti biscotti is a nice addition.. Thank you Darren ⭐️

[@Terri_Hugs]

I can see why...it looks yummy and so simple!

[@mja532]

Why cream did not coagulate after adding lemon??????

[@lbrowning2543]

⁠@@mja532Fat content, mild heat and whisking. The acid does change the milk. It thickens, which is like a curdle but just more uniform and fine.

[@galelascala105]

Had this several years ago while visiting the Cotswolds and it is my favourite pudding. Love making it.

[@sandrahamilton2521]

I had it in the cotswold a couple of weeks ago too . Made it myself and it was so good 😍

[@tanyawood275]

Thank you so much Darren for sharing some of the Palaces recipes with us!! They look so good!! My mother made a version of this with vanilla instead of lemon and layered strawberries instead of blueberries, it was delicious too!!

[@marcusb385]

How did she make it thick without the lemons?

[@nigelmoignard5348]

Darren, many thanks for showing the world what a wonderful, delicious and varied foods we have here in the U.K. not to mention our rich history to boot. Most Americans think we eat Fish n Chips, Trifle and Shepherds Pie all the time but you show just how varied our cuisine is. Love you to make some more traditional U.K. desserts Eve’s pudding, Liverpool, Manchester, Yorkshire and Bakewell Tarts, Fools, Syllabubs, Cobblers and Crumbles, or Cherries Jubilee. Or delicious mains for example Hotpots, Raised Pies or varied game pies, Pie n Mash, Bubble n Squeak, Faggots or Beef Wellington. I know you concentrate on your years working for the Palaces but I’m sure most of the royals have eaten traditional British fare, I myself served most of the royals during my catering years in London 80s/90s. Keep going sir loving your posts chef.

[@jenmagson9044]

Well, I agree but there's a lot to be said for Shepherd's Pie

[@nigelmoignard5348]

@@jenmagson9044 oh I don’t know, with good ingredients you can make an excellent Shepherd or Cottage Pie. I slow cook my mince beef or lamb with onions over night. Add some tiny bits of carrots and swede and cook for an hour or so. Let cool completely then make your mash potatoes. Use good potatoes, lashings of butter and some cream. Top over the cooked cooled mince then make points with the potatoes so whilst cooking they get all crispy and golden. I sometimes add cheese to the pots or sprinkle some good cheddar delicious 🤤

[@jadebell550]

That looks amazing! I've never heard of a posset before but I love all things British, so, knowing the history behind this lovely dessert and how it was frequently on the menu at the castle, it's something I am definitely going to try my hand at. Thank you, Darren, your videos brighten up my day!

Hi Darren: Greetings from Vancouver, B.C. I gave this a try this past week as per your instructions and it turned out very well. The Amaretti biscuits and blueberries really take what is a simple dessert up a notch. Thank you.

I moved to the UK from South Africa in my youth to become a carer and this dessert was one of many recipes I learned from my lovely clients along the way. But the only time I attempted to include the biscuit pieces they did indeed float to the top! Thank you so much for rounding off this bit of my education. 😄

[@jamesdooling4139]

My mother-in-law is elderly and British and has been living in Texas for 70 years. I make her many of your recipes. This is surely going to be made this week as a surprise treat. I'm sure she hasn't heard the word 'posset' in decades, but she'll probably shed a tear. You can only imagine the relationship we'd have if I didn't loathe her.

[@CallieMasters5000]

Sounds like she needs a visit to Dallas to visit the Royal Chef! 😁

[@pollyanna1112]

I’m an Aussie and I’ve never heard of posset either. But it sort of reminds me of JUNKET - Luke warm milk, sugar, junket tablets, topped off with a sprinkling of nutmeg on top …weird really, when you think about junket apparently is meant to be “curds and whey” which I can’t imagine trying … ahh, reminiscent of Little Miss Muffet sitting on her tuffet eating her curds and whey, 🕸🕷

So lovely ! I wouldnt put anything on it, fruit that is. Just a big bowl of the pudding and thats it !

Sharon Smith: Not Evaporated Milk dear, but Sweetened CONDENSED Milk.

[@darriendastar3941]

When my Mum used to make this, she'd use arrowroot as a thickening agent for any fruit (but she'd also add half a teaspoon into the main mixture) because posset was the ideal way of getting a stomach-settler into a whiny kid with tummy troubles. See also junket. Because it was an entirely different age, my Mother saw absolutely no problems with putting a bit of brandy syrup in junket to deal with a child's teething problems!

[@Darren_McGrady]

Junket... yikes, that's a really old British dish. I have to add that to my list

Here in Sweden we have these tiny amaretti, called "mandelbiskvier" (almond biscuits) that are usually used as a topping with rose hip soup along with cream or vanilla ice cream, very classic swdish dessert. They are about the size of a thumbnail and more crunchy with a chewy inside than "normal" amaretti. Really nice with lemon posset, I prefer them to larger amaretti.
