So, what is buckram?
Buckram is a stiff, coarse fabric that has been used for centuries as a bookbinding material, hat stiffener, and even in the fashion industry. The fabric is made from stiff cotton or linen fibers that are treated with a starch or gelatin solution to create a hard, durable texture. Buckram is often used as an ingredient in culinary arts as a binding agent, thanks to its ability to add structure and thickness to recipes like custards, soufflés, and puddings. Its neutral taste makes it an ideal ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes.
