This is a simple rice pudding recipe, dating to at least 1965, in Columbus Ohio USA.
Ingredients

2 cups milk
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
3 cups cooked rice (brown rice works as well as, if not better than, white rice)
1 cup raisins, if desired
Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract to taste

Preparation

Mix milk, eggs, sugar in a 3 quart casserole dish until thoroughly mixed and frothy.
Mix in cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla.
Mix in rice, then put in raisins. Do not mix in raisins, or they will all wind up on the bottom!
Place casserole in a larger baking pan with about 1 inch of water.
This will keep the bottom from cooking too fast and burning.
Bake in a 325 degree oven until set, about 1.5 hours.

A traditional Pound Cake recipe would specify one pound each of the following ingredients. These quantities are too great for most modern families, but an excellent cake can be made with half quantities. It is usual to weigh the eggs first and then use the same weights of the other ingredients; with a traditional pair of kitchen scales, the eggs are simply used instead of weights.

Ingredients

½ pound flour
½ pound butter
½ pound eggs (4 eggs)
½ pound sugar
½ pound assorted dried fruit (currants, sultanas, and raisins, with perhaps a lesser quantity of glacé [maraschino] cherries).

Procedure

Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
Beat in the eggs.
Gradually sift in the dry ingredients.
Transfer to a greased and floured baking pan.
Bake at 175 °C (350 °F), until a skewer inserted shows no moist crumbs when removed.

Makes 15

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9″ square tin.

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.

Sift together flour, cocoa and salt. Add to creamed mixture, blending well.  Spread evenly in tin.

Bake for 35 minutes or until done–a wooden toothpick or skewer inserted in the middle should come out almost clean, with just a couple of crumbs clinging to it. Cool in tin on rack. Cut 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 inch bars when cold.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
6 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Cream first 3 ingredients with a mixer.
Blend in cocoa, flour and eggs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
Cut into 15-20 small squares.
