Bakewell Pudding. As may be gathered from the name, this dish hails from Derbyshire. First, Hne a pie-dish with a good and light paste; on this place a layer of any preserved fruit you may prefer —apricots are especially good — then on this spread, in the thinnest slices, some candied citron-peel. Make a custard with six eggs, omitting the whites of three, six ounces of sifted sugar, four ounces of clarified butter, and three spoon- fuls of lemon bran

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
