Here's a video of a similar recipe but it's much more pudding like instead of thick dough, I have made this a few times and it is great. And the brandy, sugar and butter syrup recipe is amazing. Do not use cheese cloth for this recipe, the batter is too thin, you need a tight weave cotton cloth like a "tea towel". ua-cam.com/video/fmre4xvxshM/v-deo.html
Karen Ramnath I know! I was laughing... and then the bird “vomiting” comment, plus the bird itself, made me chuckle, too. I certainly needed the laugh!
In Jamaica we do something similar called dukunoo, made from cornmeal, sugar, salt and coconut milk, with raisin. The batter is poured into a wrapped banana leaf and boiled. I personally like mine with condensed milk and rum.
It's most likely because most people recoil at the name drowned or boiled baby because of the imagery it conjures up but at the same time many people don't think of abortion as murdering babies.
@@the_leftbehind2414 Well its funny you're the only one bringing abortion up in the entire comments so it seems like youre trying to do something I'll say there is no good "pro choice" argument and leave it at that
@@stevent8362 I was just alluding to the fact that people were starting arguments about it in the comments of Emmy's Instagram post. One prominent one in particular, who I hope was just a troll.

As my father didn't like dried fruit in his puddings Mum would make a plain version known as clooty dumpling (cloot being the cloth) which she cooked in a pillow case. This was sliced to mop up gravy or served with golden syrup, butter and sugar, jam or honey.
I absolutely adore your videos. You make cooking fun and introduce us to new foods. I especially enjoy the history you impart. But I think my favorite part is how you include your bloopers! Thanks Emmy!
Cool! I once made plum duff, in the style of the sailing ships (probably in that book?). You might check to see if the book includes "dandyfunk." I guess most of the sailing ship recipes were based in the common stable ingredients on board: salt "horse" (beef), suet (byproduct of the beef), hardtack, molasses, rum. Dandyfunk was a sweet made by borrowing "slush" (leftover suet) from the cook, smashing up hardtack, and mixing with molasses.
Yeah my grandmother used to make a christmas pudding with suet in it but allot more different dried fruits, nuts and spices. It was boiled too and then hung up for several months before it was ready to eat. It also had Scotch in it. Apparently it was part of her Irish heritage.
You can get suet from most butchers in the US (even the meat counter at grocery stores like Meijer or Kroger, just have to ask for it). My family has a Christmas pudding we make every year with suet.
My mum, who is from England but moved to the US before I was born, always goes to a random butcher and just asks if they have suet... they usually do because it freezes well and they're used to foreigners asking for it since it is used in cooking overseas quite commonly.
That cookbook is lots of fun to read, if nothing else. The names for the puddings from those days are also a bit of fun. Thanks for cooking up this pudding.
You should try making squashed fly biscuits! They are mentioned in Roald Dahl’s book, Boy, and my kids and I ordered some. So tasty! Basically thin pie crust with currants squashed in between.
I always put vanilla in my crème anglais. If you make the same pudding with chopped prunes, it's a plum duff. And strictly, a boiled baby is the same pudding without dried fruit.
Silly question but how did you get as good as you are at speaking to a camera / to a large group of people? I struggle with it and I see the evolution between your old videos and now and would love some tips. Thanks! Love your videos!
In the UK, pudding really refers to steamed or boiled suet/flour mixtures (related to dumplings really). So we have a lot of steamed puddings including spotted dick, Christmas pudding, syrup pudding etc. That same flour/suet mixture can also be used for the pastry in pies - and when the pie is steamed it's also referred to as a pudding. Britain's most well known pie is steak and kidney pie... but it's most often cooked and sold as 'steak and kidney pudding' (the difference is the crust is chewy, not crispy). 'Pudding' generally referring to any dessert is kind of an incorrect expansion of the term.
I feel like Victorian bakers just sat around coming up with the strangest names they could call things they baked and then convinced upper class families that these were perfectly reasonable names.
How do you wash the muslin that you use for something like this if you want to use it again? Or do you just throw it out? Would you wash it in the machine with regular detergent?
@@barbarapugh5662 Yeah, that's what I wanted to know. The detergent would make the food that touches them taste gross. But do they actually come clean without soap of any kind? I'd think you'd have to use something.
@@Melissa0774 Yeah they come out clean , I find if I've been making jams they'll discolour but no you get all the food bits out and the boil kills off the bugs x
I hate to sound racist be when I was a kid there was an English family that lived around the corner they had 2 boys and we were friends had sleep overs and eat overs anyway the food was bad. I got to thinking every in the world you can find Mexican restaurants, Chinese,Thai, French, even Ethiopian restaurants, but how often do you see any English restaurants? Sure maybe a place that has fish and chips but that's about it. Sorry England... You have other good points Elton John, Ozzy,The Beatles, that whole British invasion thing.
That’s the exact same face I make when somebody rips paper. For some reason, I feel that sound in my throat and it grosses me out. It’s probably a similar thing for her.
I just imagine your husband coming home. Husband: What did you make today, my dearest? Emmy: Oh...just boiled baby, with raisins. Want some? Husband: Where are the boys!?!? 😳 😄
I think it would look a lot more like a drowned baby if she tied a quarter of it off for the head instead of tying it right in the middle. Have to say, I'm kinda glad she didn't.
The reason it's gooey on the outside it because, you need to wet the cloth with hot water and then thickly flour the cloth (forming a seal with the flour), so the water doesn't get inside.
@@lisahinton9682 It was too dense because you are supposed to use Self Raising Flour with suet puddings, she also didn't mention you must pleat the cloth before tying it, because it will expand and squash into the cloth.
if this video was made by another youtuber the title would be something like "I DROWNED A BABY??? 😱😱😱😱"

Dukunoo is a nice name for a pudding.

You can get suet from most butchers in the US (even the meat counter at grocery stores like Meijer or Kroger, just have to ask for it). My family has a Christmas pudding we make every year with suet.

You might like to try Baby's Yed (head) pudding , similar in that it is a suet pudding but filled with Steak and Kidney
I'd love to try it I love exploring cuisine.
“...its not soup?” Is something I would totally do
All of the sounds in this video😍 Emmy could be the Queen of ASMR!!
I’m so hungry now. Thanks Emmy!
I'm so glad I'm not the only person weirded out by smooshed in the corner raisins.
Apples and crystallized ginger! If you tie a knot with the ends you don’t burn yourself!
Puddings are mushes cooked in suet or tallow. It’s how black pudding, Yorkshire pudding, and figgy puddings are related.
Trying this for Christmas 😊

The reason it's gooey on the outside it because, you need to wet the cloth with hot water and then thickly flour the cloth (forming a seal with the flour), so the water doesn't get inside.
So was the outcome incorrect or is it still ok? Sincerely curious
Ah, I see you've drowned a baby before.
blue bird
The outcome was okay, but it'd have been more authentic if she'd wet the cloth then heavily floured it before wrapping the baby. 😄
@@lisahinton9682 It was too dense because you are supposed to use Self Raising Flour with suet puddings, she also didn't mention you must pleat the cloth before tying it, because it will expand and squash into the cloth.
