Syllabub

Syllabub
Syllabub

Syllabub (also sillabub, sillibub) is a traditional English dessert, popular from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. It is usually made from rich milk or cream seasoned with sugar and wine.[1] The frothing cream was poured straight into a bowl containing 'Sille,' a wine that used to be made in Sillery, in France's Champagne region. 'Bub' was Elizabethan slang for a bubbling drink.[2]

The general ingredients are whipped cream, whipped egg white (absent since the introduction of electric mixers), lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, nutmeg and an alcohol.[3]. Mrs Beeton (1861) gives two recipes.[4] One author's recipe says to mix the other ingredients together in a large bowl, "place the bowl under the cow, and milk it full."[5]
