  • About

Because of its ingredients, this is a nutritious pudding that I believe can satisfy the delicate taste of the ladies.

Using three pork brains, which can weigh up to about 400 grams (about 14 ounces), you will need:

Ingredients

  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 240 grams (about 8-½

Method

By cream I mean the heavy cream that dairies prepare for whipping.

Put the brains on the fire with the butter; salt them and cook, stirring often so that they do not stick to the pan. Take care not to let them brown. Then pass them through a sieve. Add the Parmesan, nutmeg, beaten eggs, and cream, and blend well. Pour this mixture into a smooth mold greased with cold butter and cook in
