Welsh Amber Pudding

"Posted for ZWT6 - Great Britain Region. This traditional Welsh pudding recipe serves 4 - 6 guests. Serve it hot, warm or cold. Delicious served with cream! Great as a dessert or with afternoon tea. The recipes I found for this "pudding" all called for a shortcrust pastry for which I've included the recipe. The pastry can be made with all butter (non-traditional) or using a half and half mixture of pure lard and butter."

directions

  • 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.
