Extensive Definition
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. 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.
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.. Mrs Beeton
(1861) gives two recipes. 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."
