White 1932 gives a base of a dish covered in jam, the sides lined with shortcrust pastry, filled with a thickened (with flour or breadcrumbs) sugar, egg and butter mixture (sometimes with milk), baked.
Known at least since a record of a dinner given for the Mayor of Derby reported in 'The Derby Mercury' on Wednesday 4 November 1868 which included Mock Turtle Soup and Tipsy Cake as well as Buxton Pudding.
