Here’s a pudding recipe that sounds a little bland to me, but it could be good. It’s also worth noting that it’s gluten free.
Cornstarch Pudding
2 cups milk
6 tsp cornstarch
3 tbsp sugar
salt
vanilla
Cook all together
When done stir in two slightly beaten egg yolks
Let’s start of the work week with an old favorite, shall we? Just start up the deep fat fryer and make a batch of old fashioned doughnuts. Make sure the coffee is brewed hot, because there isn’t much in this world that goes better with coffee than a fresh doughnut. My mouth is watering as we speak.
Sweet milk, by the way, is milk from the cow without processing. You can use whole milk as a substitute.
Doughnuts
1 cup sugar
1 cup rich sweet milk
1 tbsp butter
2 eggs
5 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
salt
Hopefully you didn’t get a carb overload from yesterday’s waffles because we are back for Sunday brunch with Sour Milk Waffles. I don’t know how to make sour milk and I certainly don’t want to come about it the natural way, ick. We probably won’t make these at my house.
Sour Milk Waffles
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups sour milk
2 eggs well beaten
4 tbsp melted butter
For your Saturday morning enjoyment, here is a nice recipe for waffles. It looks like Gram decided that 2 large tbsp of baking powder would not be right, but according to my measurements chart, 6 tsp is equal to 2 tbsp. Perhaps by limiting the measure to teaspoons, she eliminated the “large” part of the tablespoon and didn’t over dose the baking powder. Not sure about that. You may be able to make pancakes from this recipe too.

While at first I thought, “oh boy, a fiber rich cake to be served right after dinner!” after thinking about prunes and the fact that before they became the go-to fiber source, they were just another fruit available and readily grown in orchards everywhere. Prunes are a variant of plums, and taste almost the same. They are slightly oval shaped, where plums are more rounded. I have another old canning recipe for Green Gage plums/prunes that makes them sound really yummy. So, give this the benefit of the doubt, and maybe just enjoy the concept of how this is made.

Based on the fact that you need to cook these and then put them in the oven, I suggest using a cast iron skillet or at least oven safe one. If you are into dutch oven cooking this might be a good recipe to try.
