List of Ingredients
This pudding won’t last much longer than it takes to chill. Decorate it with a fresh or candied flower.
INGREDIENTS
5 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons finely minced pansy leaves and flowers
2 cups non-dairy milk (almond or coconut are my favourites for puddings)
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch ginger
pinch nutmeg
3 eggs, beaten
Recipe
Step 1 must be done well in advance of making the actual pudding.
1. In a saucepan, combine honey and pansies. Heat over medium-low heat 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool; put in refrigerator 2 days to infuse honey with more flavor.
2. Scald the non-dairy milk; add honey mixture, salt, and spices. Stir until honey is fully dissolved.
3. Slowly whisk milk mixture into eggs. Pour into custard cups and garnish. Chill about 2 hours.
MAKES 6 SERVINGS
A Perfect Pansy Historians believe the name pansy derives from the French pensee, which means “remember.” Throughout Europe, the pansy quickly became a staple in gardens. Pansy tastes a little like mild wintergreen.
