INGREDIENTS
200g brown breadcrumbs
100g salted butter
Candied peel
Sugar to taste
Black treacle or black strap molasses
3 eggs
Red wine or brandy
Wine sauce, to serve
For the wine sauce:
140ml of water
2 tablespoons of apricot jam
30g of caster sugar
A squeeze of lemon juice
A glass of sherry or claret
METHOD
Add the butter, candied peel, black treacle (or molasses) and egg yolks to a bowl of breadcrumbs. Sugar to taste (try 3 tbsp) before mixing well.
Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl, then carefully fold them in to the mixture (a little lemon juice will help the rise). Pour in the brandy or wine (as preferred) and fold in to the mixture once more.
Grease your mould with butter and spoon the mixture in, being careful not to fill it to the top as the mixture will rise. Cover the open top with a disc of buttered paper, and then tie up in a cloth (or cover with foil).
Steam the pudding in a saucepan of boiling water for about an hour. Leave the pudding to sit for five minutes before serving and decorate as desired - it's particularly good with a wine sauce!

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.

[@onemercilessming1342]

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.

[@Elle9228000]

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 😋

[@brat46]

@@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.
