A sumptuous pudding, this, and like so many of the best inventions, simplicity itself - a mound of sieved, sweetened chestnut with a cap of whipped cream. The only problem is peeling your chestnuts. Easier to do while they are piping hot and you are wearing rubber gloves.
Ingredients
450 g 1 lb a little
Method
Score the chestnuts crosswise across the top and drop them into boiling water. Boil for about 8 minutes, then take out a few chestnuts at a time and remove the outer shell and inner brown skin.
When you have peeled the chestnuts, put them in a saucepan with a little milk sweetened with vanilla sugar (or sugar and vanilla flavouring), and stew for 20-30 minutes or until they are soft. Dr
