Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

As Martin can attest, one shouldn't post threads after consuming too many New Year's syllabubs.

Get to class, you slackers! I've opened a new classroom, but I have lost my copy of the gradebook. My secret for getting extra plusses on my A+ from xs will remain a secret between me and her, so you're on your own if you want her to review your work.

Innocent, but I’d be scared to be her lawyer.

LEMON SYLLABUB

Syllabub was a popular dessert in seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth century England. It was popular for celebrations, special occasions and holidays due to its festive appearance. Many original recipes survive with various modes of preparation. Generally Syllabub was made with a mixture of whipped cream, whipped egg whites, white wine, sugar, lemon juice and zest of lemon. The quantity of white wine added would determine the consistency qualifying whether the mixture would be a creamy dessert or a popular punch. White wine could be substituted with apple cider or other alcoholic beverages. One could always detect the drinker of the beverage by the thick white mustache left behind. The following modern adaptation will make a Syllabub Dessert Parfait for 10 people. For a punch add more wine until you have achieved the desired consistency.

Ingredients:

2 cups of whipped cream

½ cup of white sugar

1/8 cup of white wine

1/8 cup of freshly-squeezed lemon juice and zest of lemon

grated nutmeg

sprig of mint

lemon slice

Method:

Whip cream until thick in a chilled bowl. When the cream begins to thicken, add the sugar, white wine, lemon juice and zest of lemon. Continue to whip until thick. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Spoon the mixture into footed parfait glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint, a slice of lemon and a sprinkle of grated nutmeg.

Quantity:

10 servings

If you feed syllabub to a baby, bust he/she wear a syllabib?

[secret garden]

Syllabub sounds like it was created by the Scottish, who seem to have most of their cuisine founded on a dare.

[mikrofon]

I wonder if any culinary colleges offer a syllabus in syllabub preparation...
