    In Part II a fan from the show joins us in the cabin to cook the same dish, having never cooked in a hearth before. Can he do it? Let's see how Michael handles this recipe from 1830 😯 ua-cam.com/video/N_fv-jhvJso/v-deo.html
    White Pot (The Cook's Dictionary, 1830)
    2 cups of cream
    4 eggs
    1 tsp salt
    0.5 tsp nutmeg
    1/3 cup of sugar
    1 tablespoon of butter, melted (+ 1 teaspoon of butter for greasing your baking pan)
    A handful of raisins
    Enough sliced bread to fill the bottom of your baking pan
    In a bowl whisk together the cream, eggs, salt, nutmeg and sugar till well blended. Boil the raisins in water for 5 minutes. This plumps out the raisins. Once boiled drain the raisins from the water and add into the above prepared cream mixture. Rub a bit of butter over the inside of your baking pan till it is evenly coated. On the bottom of the pan lay in 1, flat layer, thin slices of bread which have had the crusts removed. Over this layer pour your above prepared mixture. Be sure to press in any exposed raisins that may wish to float to the top. Any raisins that are sticking out of the liquid may burn during baking. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. After removing from the oven allow it to settle for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.
    *While you can dust the raisins in flour before adding to your liquid I do not personally recommend doing so for this receipt as it will change the originally intended result. This version of white pot is very flan-like, which any added flour will alter. Having the raisins in one layer on top may have been the original presentation of the dish in 1830.
    * desserts such as this were often enjoyed with a sauce that can be made by combining butter, sugar and wine in a saucepan and cooking on low heat for 10 minutes.

      Could this be made without the raisins? I personally don’t like raisins.

    This recipe is very similar to what we now cook as bread and butter pudding. Same ingredients, just butter the bread and lay in a casserole dish before adding the custard with raisins or sultanas added. Still a delicious old fashioned favourite of my grown up family.

I particularly love the taste of a good Mexican flan, so something like this would probably be right up my alley, even if there are raisins in it.😆 Excellent video, as always!

    This is very much like a British dessert call Bread n Butter pudding. It’s made exactly the same as your recipe and can be made with stale bread, croissants, brioche or currant buns. It’s obviously the eggs, cream and milk that make the custard but sometimes we sprinkle nutmeg on it. Delicious 🤤

    Bread and butter pudding a stalwart of school dinners in 70’s in North east England. I used to love being table monitor on the day we had this, going up to pick up a huge piping hot traybake of this and carrying it to the table was always a decadent pleasure. I remember one day we for some reason had a huge jug of custard with it!
