Lemon Pudding Cake From Moosewood

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Low-Fat
Cakes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 c all-purpose flour — unbleached
-prefer pastry flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 1/4 c Sugar — or more to taste
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Fresh lemon juice — about 4 lemons

2 Egg yolks — lightly beaten
2 ts Lemon zest — optional
4 Egg whites
–pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare six 8-ounce ramekins or ovenproof dessert cups with a very
light coating of cooking spray or oil. Place the cups in a
2-inch-deep baking pan. Begin to heat a kettle of water to a boil.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and 3/4 cup of the
sugar. (If you want a very sweet confection, use a whole cup of
sugar.) Stir in the buttermilk, lemon juice, beaten egg yolks, and
the grated lemon peel, if using, and set aside.

With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt until the whites
are stiff. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Gently fold the
egg whites into the batter. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared
cups. Pour boiling water into the baking pan until the water reaches
halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until
puffy and golden.

Notes: This favorite old-fashioned dessert separates into layers
during baking—a tart-sweet pudding on the bottom and a light spongy
cake on top. Serve it warm or chilled, plain or with fresh berries,
for picnics, potlucks, family meals, or special dinners. Tightly
sealed and refrigerated, Lemon Pudding Cake will keep for about 5
days.

Title: Shortbread Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Ethnic
Yield: 24 servings

1/2 lb Butter: softened
1/2 c Sugar; confectioners’
2 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt

This makes 24 COOKIES – that would serve very few, if they are as good as
they sound! Cream butter in mixer until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar
and beat until light and fluffy. Mix flour and salt and add, combining
thoroughly. Roll with rolling pin 1/4″ thick, cut (they suggest 1×2
rectangles; I rather prefer flowers or animals or something), place on
ungreased baking sheet and prick with fork. Bake at 350 for 20 – 25 min.>
until lightly browned around the edges., Cool on rack. (I would also dust
with a little sugar before baking – maybe even colored sugar if the
cookies
were for my granchildren, but my Scottish grandfather would turn over in
his grave if he knew I had commited such a travesty on shortbread!)
