In honour of another scrumptious baking Wednesday, my Daily Treat today suggests you choose your favourite vintage recipe book, turn the page to 72 and bake whatever you see there… if only because left to my own devices I will bake yet another chocolate comfort cake and never give a thought to expanding my culinary horizons.
Yes it could go horribly wrong. My recipe book of choice is the Ninth Bestway Cookery Gift Book . Page 119 of said book instructs me in the delights of the Spaghetti and Fig Mould (yum!). And page 68 offers the horrible wonder that is the Veal and Ham Kromeskie…
Luckily for me, page 72 has a rather basic and thus probably scrumptious recipe for Baked Orange Pudding, so once I have nipped to the shops to buy a goodbye present for Finley’s nursery teacher, watched the egg and spoon race at the Nursery Sports day, posted my very, very overdue tax return and cooked the weekly essentials like soup, quiche and gluten free pizza bases, I shall don a special pinny and whip up an citrus scented storm…
Baked Orange Pudding.
Ingredients.
Grated rind and juice,
1/4lb. self raising flour,
2 eggs, 40z. caster sugar.
Orange marmalade.
Method.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until thick and creamy, then add the finely-grated orange rind.
Sift the flour and stir it in gradually, moistening the mixture with the juice of the orange.
Mix all together lightly and turn the mixture into a buttered dish. Bake it for about half an hour or a little longer as required, in a moderately hot oven. Serve the pudding with hot marmalade.

Welcome to the second of our guest posts from Valerie at the curious, scrumptiously beautiful, blog that is A Bohemian Season… Starting Anew At Home After A Long Holiday I am returning at last from a long vacation – two weeks on…
While it isn’t kind to cast aspersions on any one’s looks, by her own admission Margaret Powell was no great beauty. But what she lacks in aesthetic appeal, she more than makes up for in wit and charm and when serendipity handed…
I haven’t got much to say today, because I am VERY BUSY reading magazines. Oh yes. I have discovered Readly, the Netflix of magazines and now there is no going back. Laundry will be left to muster and the frizz that…
Tis the season to be silly (Tra la la la la- la la la). So I took a quiz. And after answering just two questions, I have been analysed to the nth degree and the survey says I am a Katherine… and…
Oh dear. How recklessly often my day is interrupted by a call from school summoning me to collect my little munchkin, and so another day is lost to a litany of warm drinks and cosy hugs and though the worker inside of…
