well, I'm not good at posting what is going on. I guess over all my life is pretty mundane, but I do like to cook so I'm going to start posting my favorite recipes, and maybe I'll get some ideas form others to.
The first will be the first recipe I learned by heart, Pudding. Because the reciepe can be as large as you want or as small I'm basing it on sugar.
X cups of sugar
2X cups of milk
2X egg yolks
X heaping TBS of corn starch
2XTbs of butter
XTbs spoons of vanilla
If you want chocolate I normal add 1/4 X of coco powder but that is really to taste like the vanilla.
In the pot mix the egg yolks and milk. In a bowl mix the sugar and corn starch really well. (If you are making chocolate add the coco powder in now with the sugar and cornstarch.) This will help stop lumps. then mix the sugar/cornstarch mixture into the milk/Egg mixture. Cook on medium heat stirring always until thick, this takes awhile don't give up. Take off heat and mix in the vanilla and butter.
Well thats it. It was one of the first things my mom taught me.
