Scones & Puddings (PART 2 OF 3)
(muffin02.jpg)
Yes, this is the domed top. Scones are light, but with a biscuit-like texture, and a light to golden brown floury top and bottom with white sides. The texture of the interior of the scone should be light and soft, and white in color.
Mari-chan, you're quite knowledgeable. I'm impressed.
Denman-san, don't pull my leg.
Oh, I'm serious... telling you from the bottom of my heart.
By the way, Denman-san, why did you bring up puddings.
Well ... I like short stories written by James Herriot, who is one of my favorite writers.

James Herriot is quite famous even in Japan. Have you ever read one of those animal stories?
I'm afraid not. I'd rather like to read cooking books.
It's understandable... Anyway, Herriot wrote an anthology called "All Creatures Great And Small." It is a collection of animal stories, which became so famous and well-read that BBC produced TV programs.

One of those stories is about a poor farmer named Rudd, who has finally saved up enough money to buy a cow, and he is pleased when he can finally get her. As a veterinarian, Herriot gets along well with the family, and discovers that the way Mrs. Rudd feeds all seven kids is feeding lots of Yorkshire pudding so they’re not as hungry for the main course.
I see... So you're also interested in eating Yorkshire pudding, aren't you?
Oh yes, whenever I read that passage, Yorkshire puddings look so delicious that my stomach rumbles, and I always wish that I'll gobble them up someday.

Have you never eaten those Yorkshire puddings?
No, not yet.
Pudding
(pudding01.jpg)
Pudding is usually a dessert, but it can also be a savory dish.
The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, originally from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in Medieval European puddings.
Baked, steamed and boiled puddings
The original pudding was formed by mixing various ingredients with a grain product or other binder such as butter, flour, cereal, eggs, and/or suet, resulting in a solid mass.
These puddings are baked, steamed or boiled.
Depending on its ingredients such a pudding may be served as a part of the main course or as a dessert.
Boiled or steamed pudding was a common main course aboard ships in the Royal Navy during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Pudding was used as the primary dish in which daily rations of flour and suet were prepared.

steamed pudding
Steamed pies consisting of a filling completely enclosed by suet pastry are also known as puddings.
These may be sweet or savory and include such dishes as steak and kidney pudding.

Ummmm... looks delicious. Denman-san, I'll make a kidmey pudding for you someday.
I'd prefer a Yorkshire pudding.
How come? You don't like kidney puddings?
Yes, I like those, but I like Yorkshire puddings more than any other 'cause I've dreamt about them so many times.
