Original Receipt from 'The English Cookery Book' edited by JH Walsh Walsh 1859;

Marlborough Pudding
905. Put two ounces of candied-peel, shred fine, at the bottom of a dish, add six ounces of lump sugar pounded, six ounces of butter melted over the fire, with six yolks of eggs, taking care not to let the eggs boil, or they will curdle. Pour this hot over the peel. Line the dish with paste, and bake half an hour, or more, till it is solid. It requires a hot oven just at first, and then a rather slower heat.
