Rice Pudding

February 19th, 2008

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.

Pound Cake

February 19th, 2008

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.
