We Followed An 1840s Figgy Pudding Recipe

Hello and welcome to another video! In order to get into the holiday spirit, today we’re gonna be attempting to make a figgy pudding recipe from the 19th century! Because we've heard the carol, but we've never tasted the pudding. We’re following the recipe that Max Miller used on Tasting History from 1845 and it’s a two day process - but hopefully it’ll be worth it in the end!

HELLO FRIENDS! we'd heard the carol, but we've never tasted the pudding - so we decided to try and make it, the old fashioned way! well, the victorian way, not the medieval way... what did you guys think of our "speckled cannon ball"? also - re: the saf channel, i know it's been a while since we posted on there, and we were hoping to have a video up before the end of the year, but we sort of took on a big project that ended up as 2 60 minute long videos that we're still working on 💀we're really excited for them, but unfortunately it looks like they'll probably go up in early january! so sorry for the long hiatus there. happy holidays to all of you and thanks for watching this year! we'll see you guys a-next time. EDIT: also no, saf is not pregnant - she would not have been consuming cake with brandy in it if she were!

Loving Tyler's energy in this one! He looks so joyful throughout the video 😄

In Italian culture (I'm a decendent of italians), we have something very similar to this, but much easier to make. LOL It's called a "baba rum" cake (can be translated as drooling rum). It has this name because its batter is prepared with raisins and lots of rum and after it's baked, we pour a sauce made of rum and sugar. It's delicious, but can get you a little loopy.

Tyler and Saf hanging figgy pudding in their closet gives me big Evan and Katelyn keeping the resin pumpkin in their closet vibes

I had christmas pudding for the first time when I went to Australia for Christmas with a friend. Her family made it with brandy only in the pudding itself. Instead of the sauce they served it with a luscious custard. It was...surprisingly delicious for someone who doesn't typically enjoy dried fruits.

Safyia is like we brought the figgy pudding

I don't know why, but tyler hosting is a lot of fun

My dad used to make this for Christmas and would slice and pan fry leftover. Yum!

I love how Safiya resembles Anjelica Huston's Morticia more and more each video!

Beef suet is actually a really good fat for cooking. Especially for gravy. Or crust for meat pies.

[watching them light the pudding aflame] merry christmas, everyone.

they’d love a modern christmas pudding.

I thought they were about to follow a miss crocombe tutorial and was like, well that's a crossover, her videos are amazing I recommend

Figgy pudding with a "generous" pour of brandy, light it up (after you turn the lights down), and serve warm with french vanilla ice cream. If you bring that to a dinner then you'll have everyone begging that you bring it to the next potluck 😁 (and extra brandy)

[AliceJacqueline]

It helps if you warm the brandy when lighting a pud by the way 😌

[JuliePowellPhotos]

needs brandy butter and custard! Yummo, typical aussie Christmas fare

[mimixmin]

I wish you guys turned off the lights so we could see the blue flames!! It looks so cool!

Just a side note, zante currants are not currants, they’re tiny dried grapes
