The origins of the blancmange have long been believed to lie in the introduction of rice and almonds in early medieval Europe by Arab traders. [4] Recently, it has been shown that there have been similar Arab dishes from that period such as muhallebi. [5] Muhallebi or another similar dish from the medieval Islamic world, such as Al Andalus, spread to Europe under closely related names and variants, including blanc-manger in France, biancomangiare in Italy and manjar blanco in Spain. Additionally, related or similar dishes have existed in other areas of Europe under different names, such as the 13th-century Danish hwit moos ("white mush"), and the Anglo-Norman blanc desirree ("white Syrian dish"); Dutch calijs (from Latin colare, "to strain") was known in English as cullis and in French as coulis, and was based on cooked and then strained poultry. The oldest recipe found so far for blancmange is from a copy of the oldest extant Danish cookbook, written by Henrik Harpestræng, who died in 1244, which dates it to the early 13th century at the latest. The Danish work may be a translation of a German cookbook, which is believed to have been based on a Latin or Romance vernacular manuscript from the 12th century or even earlier. [6] Serve with the fruit in the teacups or carefully unmold the blancmange onto plates by dipping the cup in hot water and then running a thin knife, carefully, around the rim. Add the flour, milk, caster sugar, and almond meal to a large saucepan. Heat on a medium temperature, stirring frequently, until boiling. Allow to boil for another 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir the mixture as it bubbles. Hieatt, Constance B. (1995) Food in the Middle Ages, "Sorting Through the Titles of Medieval Dishes: What Is, or Is Not, a 'Blanc Manger'" p. 25-43. A nineteenth century transcription can be found in Christian Molbech (1826), Henrik Harpestrengs Danske Lægebog fra det trettende Aarhundrede, Copenhagen: H.H. Thiele, p. 157. Blancmange (pronounced bluh monj) comes from the French name blanc manger, meaning “white dish” or “white eating”. This is because the dish is usually white, although historically it was sometimes coloured through the use of ingredients like saffron or sandalwood.

Gently heat the remaining milk in a large saucepan on low heat. Just before it boils, add in the vanilla extract, sugar and the cornstarch slurry.

Cornstarch Slurry – Always use cold milk or water when making the slurry as this stops the cornstarch clumping when poured into the rest of the warmed milk. The word blancmange derives from Old French blanc mangier. The name "whitedish" is a modern term used by some historians, though the name historically was either a direct translation from or a calque of the Old French term. Many different local or regional terms were used for the dish in the Middle Ages: [10] Put the lemon zest strips into a saucepan with the milk, caster sugar and ground almonds and bring to the boil.
