I was so dissappointed (almost said "bummed out" but you're a LibraryLady so I will try to use proper English) when I hit whatever button it was I hit thinking I was publishing and suddenly it had vanished. <br /><br />I've got an older version of the Fanny Farmer cookbook from my other grandmother. Grandma J's is the one I cook with, Grandma A's is quite fragile so it stays on a bookshelf. When I get home tonight, I'm going to have to see how old it is and whether the honeycomb pudding recipe was in the collection yet. <br /><br /><br />bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-42556443479582072742013-03-10T15:59:43.296-04:002013-03-10T15:59:43.296-04:00Note to Library Lady, 3/10/13 - I went to publish ...Note to Library Lady, 3/10/13 - I went to publish your comment that was in moderation and I think I must have deleted instead - and I hadn't even read it properly! :( You were saying that you think this recipe actually originated with someone in your family? Love to read the story if you'd have the patience to re-type!

I've just been handed down handwritten family recipes recently and this one was included. It was titled "Aunt Minnie's Honeycomb Pudding". It also included the Flora Dora sauce mentioned in an earlier comment. Aunt Minnie was my great grandmother who died in 1924. Though I'm sure she was not the originator of the recipe, I do know that she raised her family in the 1880s and 90s, and think it is safe to assume she was using this recipe at that time based on the age of the cousin who had gotten the recipe from her.Paperchaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09970287221369935535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-12417215222125903762012-01-16T21:25:08.191-05:002012-01-16T21:25:08.191-05:00Fingers crossed! :DFingers crossed! :Dbonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-70320905081298587642012-01-16T21:25:07.834-05:002012-01-16T21:25:07.834-05:00Fingers crossed! :DFingers crossed! :Dbonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-49111770838356812042012-01-15T18:28:40.510-05:002012-01-15T18:28:40.510-05:00Making this for my boyfriend who is from South Afr...Making this for my boyfriend who is from South Africa.

The recipe was as follows.<br />2 egg whites<br />½ to 1 cup confections sugar<br />2 egg yokes<br />½ tsp vanilla<br />8 oz heavy cream<br />Beat egg whites until stiff & half the sugar.<br />Without washing beater, beat yokes unti8l thick.<br />Add remaining sugar gradually.<br />Combine then fold in ½ pint of heavy cream & beat until stiff.<br />Hope you enjoy this addition.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904202966142288022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-89622456638277882392010-02-10T18:05:25.473-05:002010-02-10T18:05:25.473-05:00When you mentioned this before iceboating recently...When you mentioned this before iceboating recently the idea lodged in my head, and when we ended up with a snow day today I decided to try it out.
