Pudding

To me pudding is an old fashioned treat. Yes I realize that there are a multitude of puddings that people put into kids' lunchs (I'm a kid!) but I'm thinking of more traditional puddings that you have enjoyed. Maybe you have a traditional family recipe you would like to share?

Pudding, here we come. (no Bill Cosby please)

You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat!

Italians make the best pudding (budino)
melt 6 oz bittersweet (50%) chocolate + 1 stick (4 oz) butter
optional: stir in 1-1/2 tablespoons rum or brandy (optional) & 3 tablespoons semolina flour (optional)
beat to consistency of soft whipped cream: 3 large eggs, 2/3 cup sugar, pinch of salt
fold 1/3 eggs into chocolate mix, then pour chocolate over eggs and fold until blended
pour into six 8+ oz ramekins
375F oven about 20 minutes until puffy, crusted, and cracked, but still gooey inside
serve hot, or...
let cool then cover and sit at room temperature up to a day.
they'll cave in as they cool. You can puff them again with 10 minutes in a 375F oven

Dr. Oetker's organic puddings are surprisingly good. Box mix, yes. But they do remind me of decades past and real pudding . . .

Now I want pudding, darnit!

There's also a restaurant here with tembleque (thick coconut pudding). Also excellent.

When I was a kid it seemed like there was always a bread pudding in the house. Scoop of vanilla ice cream and a flavor of home canned fruit sauce? (Always rhubarb, lotsa wild plum or maybe raspberry). If you didn't have ice cream, just some plain heavy cream was good too. MMmm Mmm.
