You should know by now that in the Geordie Smallholder family, our favourite topic of conversation is food. So this weekend our thoughts, words and deeds turned to Christmas 2020. Due to the possibility of our area being locked down over the festive period, Christmas is going to look a lot different this year. So why not break with as many traditions as possible? Let’s face it, there are more important things to do on Christmas Day than getting up early to roast a turkey, which despite best efforts by all can, sometimes, be dry and chewy (or undercooked and that’s much, much worse).
Here’s our break the traditions Christmas menu:
Roast beef with all the trimmings, including Yorkshire puddings followed by hot chocolate fudge cake and custard.
So we decided to practise baking our own hot chocolate fudge cake:
Geordie Smallholder’s Mother demonstrated how to make custard to go with it:
Milk on to heat, custard powder in jug 
Add sugar 
Add milk 
Mix well 
When the milk boils (but not over) 
Add hot milk to custard paste
