Re: Sherry Nelson; Sticky Toffee Pudding

[Anton Ninno <anton@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

In response to Sherry's post, I queried my nextdoor neighbor, who is both
a professional baker of wedding cakes and other luxury catered desserts,
and English (complete with Masterpiece Theatre accent).  Her reply:

"Anton - I've never heard of this, and none of my English cookbooks
 mention it.  It's not a "classical" English recipe; my guess is that
 someone made it up.  It should be easy enough to cobble up a batch,
 though:  Create sticky toffee, and pudding, and then combine the two.
 Sticky toffee is simply toffee that has been left around in a damp
 kitchen.  Or not made properly!  Pudding is the generic name for dessert in 
England - I suppose
 a simple egg custard would fit the bill.

 Or, the writer is thinking of the French creme brulee, in which a custard
 is baked in a shallow porcelain baking dish, then sprinkled with brown
 sugar, which is subsequently melted to the point of caramelization under
 the broiler.  The result would fit the name, too."

So, I hope this helps!  And you though I was only good for edtech Q&A?

- Anton
