Answer 3

......the best dessert recipe, ever!
Queen of Puddings

Mrs. Beeton, the very famous domestic Goddess of her time, referred to her best dessert recipe as Queen of Bread Puddings! Some know it as Custard Bread Pudding and others as Manchester Pudding.

Whatever it's name, personally, I believe this to be the best dessert recipe ever, for a classically simple, yet impressive finalé to a lunch or dinner party.


This British classic is basically a custard and bread pudding finished with a light and fluffy cloud of meringue.


TIP
The custard base can be prepared the day before and refrigerated. Allow it to come back to room temperature before topping with the meringue and baking.


The best dessert recipe ......ever!


Queen of Puddings
INGREDIENTS
Serves 6
1 pint (600ml) milk
2 oz (50g) unsalted butter
4 oz (110g) fresh white breadcrumbs
2 oz (50g) caster sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
4 egg yolks, beaten
3 tablespoons raspberry jam, warmed

For the meringue
4 egg whites
4oz (110g) superfine granulated (caster) sugar


Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas mark 4.


METHOD


Generously butter a 2 pint shallow pie or baking dish.


Bring the milk and lemon zest to the boil in a saucepan. Take it off the heat and add the butter, sugar and breadcrumbs. Stir well to mix and allow to cool for 20 minutes.


Add the egg yolks to the cooled breadcrumb mixture and stir well.


Pour the mixture into the buttered dish and stand this in a roasting tray ¾ filled with hot water.


Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the custard is just set. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before carefully spreading the warmed jam over the surface.


Increase the oven temperature to 450F/230C, gas mark 8.


Using an electric whisk beat the egg whites until stiff. Then whisk in half of the sugar to form a glossy meringue. Finally fold in the remaining sugar using a metal spoon.


Spoon the meringue over the custard base and swirl the top. Return to the oven for about 15 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

Serve warm.

ENJOY!

Answer 4

Since that's a typical "Southern Dish", I'd go with a seasonal fruit cobbler: apple, cherry or better yet, apple-cherry cobbler......if you're baking the chicken in the oven, when you take the chicken out, put the cobbler in and it'll be ready by the time the dinner dishes are done, ready to be served with some Haagen Dasz Vanilla ice cream.......Enjoy!!!!

Answer 5

Chicken and mashed potatos... sounds like an all-American meal to me!

How 'bout going with something else that screams "America".. like apple pie? Or how about Jello? When we all come over to my parent's house for dinner, my mom makes Jello parfaits - she alternates layers of jello with cool whip, all in a see-through glass such as a sundae cup or a parfait cup.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Cherry or Blueberry cheese cake sounds Yummy. What time is dinner?

If you would like a Cheesecake that is Very Simple to make, but looks and tastes like you spent alot of time on it, this one is it. I have used this one for years and its a good one to take to family reunions etc. as it is a big hit everytime. the only bad thing is there is never any left over to take back home.

CHERRY CHEESE CAKE

1 YELLOW CAKE MIX (recipie calls for yellow, but I use white)
2 PKG. 8 OZ CREAM CHEESE (SOFTENED)
4 EGGS
2 TBLSP. VEGETABLE OIL
1/2 CUP SUGAR
3 TABLESPOONS LEMON JUICE
3 TEASPOONS VANILLA
1 1/2 CUPS MILK ( I USE 1/2 REG. MILK AND 1/2 EVAPORATED MILK STRAIGHT FROM CAN,AS IT SEEMS TO GIVE IT A REALLY GOOD TEXTURE AND RICHNESS)
1 LARGE CAN OF CHERRY OR BLUEBERRY FILLING

SAVE 1 CUP OF THE CAKE MIX AND SET ASIDE.
()FOR CRUST) MIX REMAINING CAKE MIX, 1 EGG AND VEGETABLE OIL UNTIL CRUMBLY, THEN PRESS INTO 9X13 GLASS BAKING PAN (PUSH UP AROUND THE EDGES A BIT)

(FILLING) MIX CREAM CHEESE AND SUGAR , THEN ADD 3 EGGS AND 1 CUP RESERVED CAKE MIX. ADD MILK, LEMON JUICE AND VANILLA AND BLEND WELL.
POUR INTO CRUST LINED PAN.

BAKE AT 325 DEGREES FOR 40-50 MINUTES (UNTIL IT FEELS FIRM ON TOP. WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND SPREAD THE CANNED CHERRY OR BLUEBERRY (at my house I sometimes make it half and half, because I like cherry best but husband prefers blueberry. I just buy the smaller cans 1 of each) let it cool a couple of hours on counter and then cover with saran and put in refridgerater a couple of hours before serving.
