Alius:
I'm bored, and it was a little brainstorm I came up with last night while baking some brownies for desert. Yeah, that's right, I can cook my own food.

So, there are some family recipes that I'm particularly proud of and wouldn't mind sharing, simply because I know I'll never own a restaurant and I'm probably sure I'll never have any one of you at the table to share.

So, I'll give you the chance to try to make it on your own.

My recipe is a desert: Grandma's Chocolate pudding.

It's effectively cooked milk gravy with cocoa added in.

Ingredients: A cuppa, cuppa, cuppa

Liquids - 2 cups of milk and an egg

Solids - 1 cup of sugar, give or take
          - 1 tablespoon of salt
          - 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder
          - what amounts to about half a cup of flour. Maybe more. Certainly no more than a full cup. Issue is, in my house, we have this metal soup spoon that can hold about that much flour in a nice pile on it. That's our measuring guide, and I never measured to see exactly how much it is. So, I'm guestimating on that. If it ends up lumpy, you've used too much. If it's still soupy, you didn't use enough.

For just before serving - a stick of butter and a less then half a teaspoon of vanilla.

Directions - This is going to require constant attention. You cannot leave it for long or it will burn or not set-up right.

You mix your liquids and your solids in a medium sized pot, and on a medium high to high heat, you stir, and you stir, and you stir. After a few minutes, when it's hot enough, it'll start to congeal. That means it's almost done. At that point when it's making glopping bubbles is a good time to add the butter and the vanilla. Once that's all stirred in, you pour it in a bowl or three and serve.

I recommend a medium high heat for the process, so you don't have to worry too much about it burning. If you use a high heat, it may do that, and you'll constantly want to be scraping the bottom of the pan with your stirring implement to make sure it doesn't happen. If it does, either turn the heat down, or lift the pan off the burner for a while.

It is extremely rich, so you may not be able to eat a whole pan, or half a pan. Divvying up into three bowls usually works for my family. Just means someone gets to eat the third one the next day. It's also good after it's been refrigerated for the night, too.

Enjoy.


Anyone else have a recipe they'd like to add to the Leviathan's Cookbook?
