@@zeddeka With all due respect I'm not here to provide a service to you; I merely replicated the recipe as it appears in the booklet that was published with the series, together with some notes for USA viewers. If you have difficulty with the units I suggest you apply your 21st century skills to the multitude of weights conversion websites and apps out there.
It's easy to forget how restricted food was in the UK for so long. Up until the 1970s you could really only get olive oil in a chemist - people only used it to clear ear wax!
@@SuperCatman nope those indents are from it being baked in the paper with those folds in it. At the time this was only seen with bought cakes as you lined tins with flat paper as she showed in the tin.
“ I’ve creamed that until it’s loose and floppy “ ….. I beg your pardon Fanny ? 😮😆
I bet Sarah was terrified of making any mistakes.
Hahha she's scary
"It won't hurt to snatch it out; that's my girl."
I bet offscreen there was a plaque with a quote from Captain Bligh: " BEATINGS SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!"
“NO WIRE WHISKS IN MY KITCHEN SARAAAAAAH!!!”
Anyone here because of Gogglebox?
Lol yeah me lad 😂
no
Totally me 😂
4:50 The moment Sarah realized her career was over!
I love how she is so angry about having a TV show. Talk to the viewers like crap they love it 😂😂😂😂
You can tell that by the way she said "YOU" at 0:25
@@thesmithersyYOU!!!!!!!!
When she cuts it. Looks as dry as Gandhi's flip flops 😷
Fanny knew how to cream until loose and floppy. And she has scrubbed and scrubbed and removed her ring.
Im here for anyone that describes her technique as "do it till it's loose and floppy" .
Here is the recipe for the 'white Christmas cake' from the booklet:
7oz sifted self raising flour (in the USA this is all-purpose flour with baking powder added)
3½oz cornflour (USA cornstarch)
9½oz floured rough cut glacé cherries
8oz rough cut glacé pineapple
7½oz unsalted butter
8oz sifted icing sugar (USA confectioners' sugar)
4 eggs
4oz mixed diced peel
8oz sultanas
2oz rough chopped walnuts (or hazelnuts may be used)
2oz diced angelica
2fl oz brandy
Grated rind and juice of 1 orange
1tsp orange flower water (orange blossom water)
1tsp rose water
Sincere thanks!
And for the USA audience, sultanas are golden raisins
You=💜
For those of us in the 21st century, it would have been nice to put it in metric measurements.

Yes, but is it in the booklet?
“It’s not a booklet - it’s a small book!”
Poor Sarah!
So you had to post an envelope to the BBC to get it? Was it not sold in shops lol
@@evanslater4551 nope, only available direct from the BBC
It’s all in the booklet!
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of fruit cake but the finished slice that she cut at the end actually looked really good.
This. Is. Hilarious.😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is my first time watching this woman, she scares me but I can’t stop watching now aha
That is how I am going to answer every question from now on you can find the answers in the booklet lol
Fanny was a terrifying hot mess.
Orange flower face lotion!!! And she made a rich cream pudding with that!!! 😂😂😂😂
Well the woman was right, it would be disgusting but the mind boggles about how stupid you would have to be to put face lotion into your cooking.
@@madabbafan Well, if she kept in mind that Fanny uses make-up brushes in the kitchen...?
@@cioccolateriaveneziana true, but as she said they were new ones and sterilised first. If they worked and didn't shed hairs then why not.
@@madabbafan I know, I'm just saying.
Fascinating to watch Fanny do her stuff. Quite terrifying
She's convinced me to get that damn booklet, err I mean the small book.
Me too!
i found it on ebay for 6 bucks! well worth the money!!!
You dont see nigella using a bucket 😂
You haven't seen Nigella brine a Christmas turkey!
@@sunkat76 That was basically a small bathtub...
@@cioccolateriaveneziana or an aromatic spa
I just love fanny!! And she really know how to give very god tips and stories xD 😆💖
Me too. I didn't understand much of that "What is a BRILL?" story, though.
Grayson Perry sounds different, but cooks divinely.
The theme tune really doesn’t match her tone
4:51 "Nooo, you...!" I wonder how that sentence would have ended if she hadn't stopped herself when she did.
She would have said "you fucking bint"...
"I'm going to cut you Sarah!"
_Remembers she's being filmed_
"...a slice of cake!"
3:47 Too much information, Fanny.
“Absolutely Pell-Mell!”
She was very volatile
My Mrs is always complaining to me about being “loose and floppy “.
Tell her that everything she needs is in the booklet.
Just watched on Gogglebox! Fanny was a hoot!😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:45 I'm glad she has scrubbed downstairs.
Easy when you know how
Yes. Fanny said everything in life is so easy when you know how. She was correct.
6:53 that looks suspiciously like a factory produced cake......
She does say “I have a little practice cake” 🙃🙃
That white Christmas cake looks so dry
I’ve scrubbed and scrubbed downstairs, ooer
Oo err Matron!! 😂😂
Sounds sore!
As much as I love her she was definitely “on” something.
Oooo! Giant hockey pucks!
Buying orange water and rosewater in a chemist? Boots would have done a roaring trade then 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The show should have been called, "Sarah and the Shrew."
No, "Baby Jane" cooks for Christmas!
@TheRenaissanceman65 Or maybe they would hire someone who was more pleasant?
And on a bad day, when Sarah has had enough, "The Maiming of the Shrew!"
That's a bloke that
Poor Sarah having to work with that strict woman!
Nossa,que nojento! Falta de higiene
🍬WE LOVE FANNY 💋
Poor Sarah 😂
@Tilly Divine haha so true
Where is this ‘booklet’ ??
ebay, i found a bunch of them
Back then you could write in to the BBC and they'd post you one. You can still find them around now on eBay etc
@13:41 BBC.co.uk/food must have been a great website in 1975
You had to start loading it 6 months in advance!
It came via semaphore.
can we order this booklet online??
I googled it and it has everything she mentioned. I laughed cuz I didn't expect to actually find it 🤣
oddly Fanny's Pudding is one of the few which doesn't pour into that mold but is firm even before Steaming it??!!
You might find it on ebay
BLOODY 'ELL SARAH!! 🙄
11:02 Sounds like Fanny talked to Barzini....
Awfully English lasy
Name that tune
yes. would like to know that too. i am sure i have heard it before.
@@moirhann ua-cam.com/video/VCvz7uflMIU/v-deo.html
@@moirhann 🤟
Is that a washing up bowl?? 🤣
No, from the commode.
That practice cake she put the almond paste on was a bought one you can see the paper indents
Could have just been stored in paper
@@SuperCatman nope those indents are from it being baked in the paper with those folds in it. At the time this was only seen with bought cakes as you lined tins with flat paper as she showed in the tin.
Fanny is on the telle
Fanny got scrubbed and scrubbed downstairs
Fanny had 2 gay boys to help in her kitchen at home for years
Devils kitchen
what is the name of the tune in the beginning ? i am sure i have heard it some where else..
in dulce jubilo (if you still need to know 👍)
I like my cake moist.....like Fanny’s
Somehow that sounds dirty, like you want a lot more than a taste of her cherries!!! 😮
Nasty fingers. Gloves would be nice if u are having company over to eat😲 or offering your food to people
Liquid glucose!!!!
Glucose is used on a lot of cake decorating icings especially fondants, has been forever.
Such a lot of icing sugar on the icing!
I wonder if anyone ever bought that booklet.
At least three people here in the comment section and I'd love too but I can't find it.
Me too - you think the beeb could uploada copy online.
