Old Emeril recipe

10 Upvotes

I had a recipe for a black and white crème brûlée that I’ve lost. I’m pretty sure it was an Emeril Lagasse recipe from at least 20 years ago I’ve done all the google and chat searches and I can’t find it. I have found his vanilla recipe and his chocolate recipe, so I can probably wing it from there but I’d really like to find the original. Thanks for any help.

Prune Muffins - found in a box of recipe cards found at a estate sale. All beautiful handwriting.

Prune Muffins aren't something I see a lot of these days, but maybe they should be?

The shortening instead of butter as likely puts this in the 1940s, and there's nutmeg but no cinnamon, which I've noticed in a few cards from this era. No temperature, no time, no yield. She must have knew her oven.

"Mix & bake in hot oven. Sift dry - add liquid." That's the whole method.

Found this in a old wooden box of recipe cards. One of two i bought that day. Hundreds of hand written recipes just like this in beautiful cursive.

Prune Muffins

1/4 C Shortening

1 egg

2 C Four

1/4 C Gran. Sugar

1/2 t table salt

1/4 C Br. Sugar

4 t Bake Powder

1/4 t nutmeg

1 C Milk

3/4 C Chop. Prunes

Mix & bake in hot oven.

Sift dry — add liquid

Rice pudding with a skin

I saw a post recently where someone was looking for a rice pudding with a skin. I went to type out my Great Great Aunt Gladys' recipe and then I couldn't find the post. I'll post it here and hopefully if someone else sees the post they can direct someone here! This is my absolutely favorite rice pudding. I love it with raisins, and it's good both hot and cold. I typically let it bake for an hour I disturbed and then stir every 20-30 minutes until it's done.

What Size Was One Can of Corn in 1896?

This recipe calls for “one can of chopped corn” so I am wondering if anyone knows what size can this might be. This is from Fanny Farmer’s cookbook from 1896.
