My wife was a cook at middle school and has confirmed what pink custard is. It’s not blancmange this is the recipe. Cornflour,sugar and milk mixed as you would custard. Then you would add strawberry flavouring/colouring. Great videos mate keep them coming !!!
This actually made me look up the difference between blancmange and custard ... basically custard has eggs and blancmange doesn't although with powdered custard mixes one wonders how much egg is actually in them anyway.
I make all my sauces that way but with a knob of butter if needed to stop them sticking, whether it be parsley, cheese, onion, brandy for Christmas pud or custard (adding vanilla extract). I know you put eggs in custard if you make it yourself but I’ve never known it to be in custard powder/mix or ready made. On another note, egg custard tart makes me heave but I love quiche 🤷🏻♀️
Yes that's what I would have thought, my nanna made hers the cornflour way and I still make cornflour custard, and just add brandy for brandy sauce at Christmas. But the blancmange way looks great too, I'll definitely try this
Just found this video 2. Years old & you look strange without electric gadgets air friers etc round you,but the humour & Sharon's baking still superb.❤
Great video, that looked beautiful, please Martin and Sharon, do chocolate brick pudding and green peppermint custard, bring back the 70's, ohhh yesss 👍🏻
haha here in the netherlands that is pure gold such a sponge, we have a inflation basket a 10x10 cm for put in 50 euro grocery's.....Loved it Martin & Sharon :-)))
Brings back memories of the 1970's . My mum ( God rest her soul ) was the head of the kitchens at my sister's school she use to bring things like this home . 👍
Oh dear Martin and Sharon this is torture watching this we are defiantly going to have a go at this one ,That jam its total proper not like the rubbish they sell in the shops .also we couldn't stop laughing. You don't get quality like this on ready steady cook . And at the tasting bit at the end is hilarious what more could you want fantastic work love the close up stills of the desert which made it more appealing Fantastic .Kevbo& Jackie. ps could we put in a request for another school classic of chocolate sponge and chocolate custard . Who knew pink custard was blamiange if that's who it is spelled cheers
Lovely Martin i remember that yum yum, if Garry or Jimmy heard you they think what were you two upto with the sound affects and the look on Sharon's face 🤣
My mother used to make this in the 60's / 70's but we had normal custard with it, but I used to love pink custard at school. Thank you for the recipe, I will definitely be trying it xx
my husband and i were in fits of laughter at you two, but seriously though, i had forgoten about pink custard and jam sponge , so just bought some blancmange and will be serving this on sunday. brilliant vid and very entertaining ,thankyou both
My favourite Martin! Remember Concrete pudding with pink custard, if you'd had double PE in the morning, you didn't have the strength to break it. Think it was shortbread.
I had it when I was in primary school in the late 80's/early 90's, pink custard too 🤣. I absolutely loved my school dinners in primary and secondary school 😋
Takes me back fantastic both of you one thing i used to have as a child cheese onion and milk in a Pyrex bowl put in the oven till crispy on top then a loaf of bread to eat it 👍👍👍👍
Loving the school dinners series. I would like to see gingerbread (cake?) with lemon sauce. I was lucky I went to school in 60 and early 70s in UK then came to Australia where I finished the last years of school and started nursing (we had to live in the nurses home back then but the food was awesome). So I got to enjoy vintage English and Australian dishes. I have a huge arsenal of recipes as a consequence.
hi love what you do with an air fryer ... im looking for banana cake to cook in the air fryer or little buns wondering if you can help.... i remember jam sponge from my school days 1950 on wards
My absolute all time favourite at Primary School was Chocolate Sponge & GREEN, Mint flavoured Custard (?). Never seen or had it since. I remember how it was extremely popular and they sadly only served it very occasionally. This was back in the early 70's, God only knows what the "Custard" actually was. It was really good though.
My favourite pudding at comprehensive school (can't remember much about primary school dinners) from 64/69 was chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce/custard. We didn't have it often but when we did, a couple of other kids used to give me theirs so I simply stuffed my face with several helpings. I still love it and still eat it - chocolate muffins heted up in the microwave and chocolate sauce/custard.
Haha me and my wife love the old skool food videos. I was hoping you'd start shaking your head side to side in extasy like the old food vids 🤣 I left school in the early 90's and we had stuff like this right through the 80's. My favourite was spam fritter and at Christmas they used to wrap 20p's in tinfoil and put them in the pudding (everyone got one) Imagine if they did that today.
Does anyone remember what we called haystacks with chocolate, cornflakes, coconut (sometimes) and golden syrup (I think) that made them chewy, they were divine!
Lovely jubley !! Haha, my wifes favorite !! You don't know how to make plain pudding as well do you ?? My mum used to make it, I think it was an old rationed war time recipe, can't find it anywhere! I'm sure it was something like just flour and water steamed in a tea towel and doused in golden syrup that had been a little thinned with water and heated up !!!! It was very smooth and shiny on the outside and quite heavy if I remember but as a kid we loved it !!! Wouldn't be on a gourmet menu today that's for sure !!! Haha!! Keep up the good work people !!!!
It's been a long time ago since I had a school dinner. ,?! Better you both remember them well. Your school dinners were probably better than the ones I had..😮😅😂😊🎉🎉❤❤
Sharon That looks beautiful well done you I love to watch martins face when he is testing food I see you smiling it makes you laugh I would love to see you making fresh scones with cream and jam the cake the snobs always select in the 1950s and to the present day royal scone love these videos thanks for your time maki.g these enjoyable videos for us all Phil and jackie in stoke
I think when we had pink custard with this pudding, they said it was blancmange. When my mum used to make for us she used to make it blancmange and it used to taste the same as it did at school. One of my favourites for sure. I also used to love a ginger cake they did, it was firmer than a sponge, but was definitely my favourite. Never been able to re construct that one. That would have been early 60s I am referring to. I think you have lit a light in Martin somewhere. Judging from his expressions. Hehe.
Great video Sharon and Martin. Use to have this back in the 70's / 80's in school. It was gorgeous. My favourite as always been Bakewell Tart and custard. Imagine the pink custard poured over a Tottenham Cake (heaven on earth) Nowdays Ambrosia are selling strawberry custard👍🏻👍🏻😁
Hi great video I always wanted to know how to make pink custard really surprised it’s not custard but blancmange at my school we always had pink custard/blancmange with chocolate sponge it was really very nice.
You should try sprinkle cake, you can make them with plain sponge like this, and put icing on the top, or do chocolate sponge with chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles on the top.
You've taken me right back to primary school with this recipe, only our custard had a skin on top - we used to bagsy the skin, yum! How about the rainbow pudding? Please give this a go too! Just love binge watching you guys! Would love to watch in the correct order - can you date or number them plz?!
Gypsy Tart made in a 9" pastry case, baked blind.( No filling, but a piece of parchment paper over pastry, with dried beans on top to weigh down while cooking.)7 oz brown sugar, 1/4 pint (170g can )full fat evaporated milk chilled. Just blend together, it will change colour a bit. 2-3 minutes. Pour into cooked pastry shell. Preheated oven 200"C, gas mark 6 for ten minutes. It will set as it cools. Serve cooled with whipped cream.
Hi guys, I'm;loving the school dinners, I was born in the 50's so high school in the 60's, I was wondering do you remember Manchester tart? it was yummy, if so please do a video of the lovely Sharon making it, many thanks, Lynne x
@@butlersempire h thanks so much, btw I have just subbed to all your channels, you guys cheer up my day, its so lovely to see a beautiful family so committed to one another, the trolls you mention are just jealous because you have a great channel and a beautiful wife, love ya both xx
How about some Spotted Dog and Custard? Or the big metal containers filled with sweet milky rice? I used to love that in the 60s at school. I used to go back about 3 times for more. 😊 Growing up in Bethnal Green in the 50s and 60s in poverty meant the school dinner was the only time I had a decent meal.
My wife was a cook at middle school and has confirmed what pink custard is. It’s not blancmange this is the recipe. Cornflour,sugar and milk mixed as you would custard. Then you would add strawberry flavouring/colouring. Great videos mate keep them coming !!!
I suppose it varied from where you lived.

Wonderful. I remember Lumpy mashed potato scooped up with gristle and jellified gravy served with cabbage stalks,and for pudding pink runny semolina.
Lovely Martin i remember that yum yum, if Garry or Jimmy heard you they think what were you two upto with the sound affects and the look on Sharon's face 🤣
