"Quesada" Pudding

The "Book of Good Love," written by the Archpriest of Hita in the 14th century, mentions "asadero" cheese and a recipe that seems similar to this dessert, which is from Valles Pasiegos in Cantabria. Quesada is one of the best-known desserts in this region and is made with curdled cow's milk, butter, flour, eggs, and sugar. In the past, it was made with fresh Pasiego cheese and, as with other desserts, it is thought to have been made with honey until the Arabs made sugar popular in Spain.
