How to make 1940's Queen Pudding | Dining Through The Decades Holiday Edition Ep. 2

Hello Darlings, welcome back to another episode of Dining Through The Decades! In this episode I make Queen Pudding from 1941 from a little Australian Cookbook. This was SO delicious, I highly recommend making it for Christmas or anytime of year for a matter of fact! I hope you enjoy the video and I'll see you all next week for another festive episode of cooking!
Lots of love,
Sage Xx

You have such a cute sence of humour trying to make light of thing little mis haps in the kitchen When is your wedding ?=D🌸💐🌹

I agree

Yum Queen pudding. Might make it on her birthday. Miss our Queen. 🇳🇿

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

April 21, 1926 was her birthday, the same as my Dad She was a wonderful Queen, wasn't she?

[@m.theresa1385]

Queen of Puddings takes me back to school as it was one of the recipes we learned in Home Economics. As a child I was very impressed with myself when I made this and the family had to suffer through it for several Sunday’s afters. I eventually moved on, but strangely I can’t recall many other things we made. I’m inspired to give this another go since it’s so simple and reasonably inexpensive. Cheers!

[@user-wr2sz1kj1r]

Merry Christmas. If you started with cold water in your water bath that could have been the reason for the longer bake time. Usually a water bath uses boiling water. It is also easier to get them in the oven if you place the ramekins in the pan then place the pan in the oven, then pour the water into the pan. You probably could have let the ramekins cool in the water until you could pick them up.

[@claremiller9979]

Yes this! And of course the old recipe books assume that you know this kind of stuff and don't tell you 🙄😂

[@rebeccatayler]

​@@claremiller9979let's not blame the cook books,this is common sense i think,which alot of people are lacking theses days.never mind 😊

[@brittany45]

​@@rebeccatayler it's really not. Things like this are why home economics/domestic science classes need to be taught to everyone. Even my great aunt still refers to her schoolbooks to this day!

[@genevieveotto7351]

oh, this turned out lovely! I noticed in a few videos where you have to add eggs to a hot custard or cream you mention a worry of them scrambling. The last one I saw was the Black Forrest Cake! So scrumptious! Anyway, a little trick called tempering is adding a tablespoon or two of the warm mixture while keeping the eggs moving will keep them from scrambling when added to the rest of the hot liquid. I hope that helps! Love your videos! I'm planning on making that Black Forrest Cake soon!

[@darlenedavis8690]

@@claremiller9979 I agree that a lot of the older cookbooks don't tell you ALL the details. IE - what is a "moderate oven"? LOL.

[@user-uv4io8yc4c]

Hi Sage! I'm happy for another dining through the decades video! The recipe sounds good! 😊❤

[@melissaboggs5176]

Wonderful to have you back! Congratulations on your completed nursing degree! Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄♥️🎄

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

When baking something in a hot water bath, boil a kettle on the stove, put the puddings and water pan on the oven shelf, THEN carefully pour the already boiling water into the outer pan. To get them out of the water, you can slip a stiff spatula under them, use a turkey baster to take the water out, or just let them cool first. You might consider buying an oven thermometer, but I think the issue was just that you started with cold water.

[@ashleylewis2783]

As an American I am so confused by this dessert 😂😂😂 I have never had anything even slightly like. Love watching you cook. You are just the best. ❤

[@tatertots-n-soup]

You never had bread pudding or a custard filled bizmark?

[@claremiller9979]

It's a very leftovers focused dessert, you would use stale cake or bread and then it's just stuff you'd have around all the time (sugar, milk, eggs, jam). Very traditional, easy and turning simple ingredients into something special

[@darlenedavis8690]

This is just a bread pudding but with the bread all crumbled up.

[@darlenedavis8690]

Being born and raised in the South (United States), bread pudding is HUGE! This seems to be just a bread pudding with the bread in crumbs vs cubes or larger pieces like most of today's recipes call for. I'm going to try this one! My mind is racing with all the possibilities. With the lemon in the pudding, I bet blueberry jam would be amazing. Same with strawberry or even peach.

[@mrscb5303]

So fun to see you again 🥰Hope you are well and getting a much deserved rest after all that schoolwork. This was another adorable video. I may have been shouting at the screen, get some tongs!! Don’t burn yourself!!! Glad it worked out😊 Merry Christmas 🧡🖤🧡

[@user-lx2gk6vp3h]

Oh Sage!Im so exshited seeing your video!please harry up!

[@barbarapistella2819]

What does exshited mean

[@daisyd90]

Or maybe English is their second language and they're doing their best to spell in a foreign language.

[@barbarapistella2819]

Daisy, you could be right. I was just wondering what it meant

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Excited@@barbarapistella2819

[@stephanieb1196]

Hello again, I will try this when my friend visits me in September. I like that it doesn’t use a lot of sugar and it’s so pretty! Thank you

[@jenniferlynn3537]

I really loved this recipe! It’s not often I come across a recipe from the 1900s that surprises me as this did. I may just give it a whirl! 😊

[@janeburkhart4051]

Thank you for another fun video, Sage. Merry Christmas to you and James! ❤🎄

[@debraporter4616]

Sage, you are delightful! You are a lovely human being. Your videos are so fun to watch and brighten my day!

[@cbass2755]

I love, love puddings! This looks good. Merry Christmas hon! 🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄

[@keithgarland3404]

You always make me smile, I also like that you show your little mishaps with your baking/ cooking, the puddings turned out very nice, video and audio top notch.

[@dianaw.571]

This looks so wonderful, something different for a special dessert.

[@yasmindawoojee6831]

I love old cook books and vintage wallpaper and Antiques as well - nice to do these things at home and Indian Royal Family.

[@leewhite8355]

I’ll be making this pudding .Brings back memories ,thank you Sage 🩷

[@gopugmama4408]

Loved this recipe, so delicious! You can't go wrong with raspberry jam and meringue. All I could think of was how I wish I was sitting at your table enjoying your pudding with you and visiting the time away.🥰 Will you be making a savory dish as part of this series? After all the sweet pies, puddings, and cookies, we'll all be ready for something savory. Merry Christmas Sage and James, blessings!🌲❤

[@annemielucas9879]

Ahh too long to wait! 😂😂😂

[@leamacleod5903]

Quickie tip....easier way to separate eggs, crack it into your hand,the whites will seep threw your fingers,the yolks will stay in your palm. Be sure to have a bowel to catch the whites as they go quickly

[@judytieger8976]

Hello fro Utah USA. I love watching your KZbin vlogs!

[@thebrookealyson]

Wow! thank you for so many! I missed them! Time to do fun catch up!

[@tiree76]

Looks delicious and have most of the ingredients here except breadcrumbs. Might make it tomorrow but I think I will use Nutella instead of jam. Merry Christmas

[@mthespinner]

Merry Christmas! that looks fabulous! I see that many of your recipes call for separating whites and yolks. An egg separator would simplify the job. They can be had online from $5 to $12 (US,) and are well worth the price!

[@KateKatastrophe]

The perfect amount of Christmas chaos in this video. 🎄 🤶 🌲 🧑‍🎄 🎄

[@ruthfuller2105]

Lovely pudding sage, your baking skills are getting really good, and your confidence is growing. Well done 😊

[@MaggieStuart-mq1cg]

I'm so glad you are back!

[@kristinradtke]

Ohh, that pudding looks phenomenal! Anything with meringue 😍 A couple tips: if you can get in there with smaller potholders, one on each side of the ramekin, and carefully lift them out one at a time, you should be fine not to have to pour the water out. If you're not comfortable lifting them out that way (and yes, the cloth or oven mitt will probably get wet), you might try ladling out the water into a heat-safe bowl with a large ladle. Also, meringue will generally stay the same height you whip it, and not expand much at all, in my experience making Pavs and lemon meringue pies. I absolutely love to see your confidence grow in the kitchen! And the way you had just a little ring of jam peeking out and didn't cover it entirely with meringue was so nice. Merry Christmas, Sage and James! 🎅🌲

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Oil will make it desolve and peaks to fail(hand beaten with a fork) a porous bowl will make it hard to stiffen. Soap will also desroy it. So a very very clean and extreemly throughly rinsed stainless steel bowl is best to use a glass bowl also works almost as good. Zero oil/greasy fingers is stressed greatly A high speed beater can also over beat the eggs, ruining it. I prefer a fork. It really is like magic that way!

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Recently I been using steam to froth. But not on a large scale. It seems to add little extra to it. Whole milk and granulated sugar no egg. Not sure how it would bake though without egg. And no i doesnt breakdown quickly

[@sallycormier1383]

Merry Christmas and thank you for all your lovely content in 2023! Love dining thru the decades!!❤

[@pattycake8272]

I couldn't quite grasp what you are baking, I could see and hear it, the ingredients were so this and that. I looked it up in your scripts box area and still it baffled me. I'm glad it turned out for you with all that hard work you put I to it. What a joy you are. I hope you and yours days are merry and bright, stay well.

[@marionlacey1986]

Another vintage recipe for me to bake Sage. I haven't made this since my Home Science/Domestic Arts school lessons back in the late 1960's. I will try and make mine look as good as yours for New Year's Day because I have my pavlova already baked for Christmas Day tomorrow.. You have me on a roll now going through my grandmother's cook books. Wishing you, James, and your chooks a lovely Christmas from South Aussie. 🎄 🐾

Aw thank you so much Marion! Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and New Year too! ☺️💕

[@m.theresa1385]

I have the same memory of learning this is school in the U.K. It must have been in the 1970’s when I was quite young. I don’t recall many other recipes, but this one stands out. Happy Christmas 🎄 Cheers!

This looks super delicious and, ramekin water bath issues not withstanding, quite easy to make!
