Directions
South African Telephone Pudding, This ancient, delicious dessert got its name this way: in the time of party-line phones (which still exist in some farming areas) this recipe was apparently passed on from cook to cook by phone, and didn’t have a proper name So it became Telephone Pudding The recipe is not in our best-known older cookbooks such as Cook and Enjoy It (the cooking bible of many young brides!!), and neither could I find it in my considerable stack of old cookbooks, so it’s almost lost now!! I was given the recipe by my husband’s aunt, who is now 86 Lovely, sinful winter dessert!! Funny method — but just try it! (It’s getting rather tedious to correct the wrong assumptions: Jan 25, 2009: the review comment is wrong If you want the lovely Roly Poly pudding recipe, it’s either recipe #235004 or recipe #253994 On Feb 6, 2009: Dear reviewer, maybe it tastes vaguely like Malva Pudding, but here is the genuine Malva pudding: recipe #118545) , This recipe is close to the one I grew up with, except that my aunt used marmelade and not apricot jam, she also used dry ginger and marmelade in the syrup We served it with runny custard, Being a Yank, this is new to me, but intriguing Do you serve it with jam? Butter and jam? Have you ever used a different jam?
