Recipe Introduction


Saucers were used for baking small savoury and sweet puddings years
before they were used under teacups - and a few original recipes still
survive.

You can serve these batter puddings, which come from Gloucestershire,
filled with fresh soft fruit.


List of Ingredients




8oz plain flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs, separated

1 pint milk

1 1/2lb soft fruit

4-6oz sugar



Recipe



• Sieve flour and salt in mixing bowl and make a well in centre.

• Beat in egg yolks gradually, adding milk a little at a time and
beating continuously until mixture becomes a smooth creamy batter.

• Leave in cool place for at least 30 minutes.

• Butter four ovenproof saucers, add fruit, sprinkle with sugar, cover
and put in oven while it is heating up, until juices begin to run.

• Be careful not to cook strawberries for more than a few seconds or
they go mushy. Take fruit from oven and leave on one side.

• Whisk egg whites until very stiff and fold into batter. Divide batter
between four prepared saucers and put in top of hot oven (230°C, 450°F,
gas mark 8).

• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and coming away from
edges of saucers.

• Sprinkle with caster sugar and fill each batter with fruit.

• Serve hot with whipped cream.
