Purin Recipe image

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (200g) sugar
3 Tbsp (50ml) water
2 cups plus 1 Tbsp (500ml) milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot, put in sugar and water, but do not stir. Put it on the stove at medium heat until the water and sugar turns to dark brown. Pour the syrup into 8 small (3" diameter x 2" high) pudding cups or ramekins (may have some leftover).
  • Heat milk until just before boiling. Whisk together eggs and sugar, and add hot milk very slowly to avoid eggs curdling. Strain the mixture to make the liquid smooth, and add vanilla. Pour the mixture over the hardened syrup.
  • In a baking pan such as 13x9x3, place purin cups, and pour hot water around the cups (not in the cups!) about 3/4 up the side of the cups.
  • Bake at 350 F for 40-45 mins or until custard sets.
  • Refrigerate at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. You could decorate with whipped cream and cherries before serving if you wish.

PURITAN PUDDING



Puritan Pudding image

A mass of cornmeal, milk and molasses, baked for hours, this dessert was born of the Puritans' nostalgia for British hasty pudding and their adaptation to the ground-corn porridges of their Native American neighbors. (Early settlers called it Indian pudding.) Originally served as a first course, it grew sweeter (but not too sweet; Puritanism runs deep) and migrated to the end of supper. For a proper historical re-enactment of the dish, you need meal stone-ground from Rhode Island whitecap flint corn, a hard, tough-to-crack corn, less sweet but more buttery than hybrid strains. One of the oldest incarnations of the plant, it was cultivated by the local Narragansett and saved from extinction by a few equally flinty Rhode Island farmers. This recipe comes from George Crowther, owner and chef of the Yankee diner Commons Lunch, which has stood on the town square of Little Compton, R.I., since 1966.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Butter, for the baking dish
4 cups/ 960 milliliters whole milk
1 cup/130 grams fine-ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup/ 120 milliliters molasses
4 eggs
1/2 cup/ 100 grams sugar

Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 2-quart baking dish. In a large pot, warm milk over medium-high heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk in cornmeal and molasses and cook, whisking, 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Crack eggs into a medium bowl and lightly beat. Very slowly add 1/2 cup of the hot cornmeal mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly. Pour tempered egg mixture into the pot, whisking constantly to keep eggs from scrambling, and cook 3 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
  • Stir in sugar, raisins, vanilla and ginger. Pour mixture into prepared pan, then place in a larger baking dish or roasting pan. Transfer to oven and carefully pour water into the larger dish until it comes about halfway up the sides of the smaller baking dish.

EBONY'S ROSE PETAL PUDDING



Ebony's Rose Petal Pudding image

Freda DeKnight introduced many signature dishes to Ebony magazine in the mid-20th century. One was her rose petal pudding, which was beloved by Ebony staffers and readers alike. Although its origin story is unclear, it's likely that Ms. DeKnight, the magazine's food editor and a frequent traveler, created the dessert from her research and willingness to incorporate international flavors into her cooking. This warm pudding provides a sweet taste of one of the most significant culinary periods in the nation. The rose icing is divine, and the aromatic pudding, which resembles bread pudding, is really lovely. The original recipe calls for 1/4 cup of rose water, which will give the pudding a very pronounced floral flavor, so you can choose an amount that is pleasing to you.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

10 tablespoons/143 grams unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the mold
6 slices/242 grams white bread, toasted and finely ground (about 3 cups)
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/226 grams almonds, finely ground or 2 1/4 cups/226 grams almond flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 packed cup/4 grams dried edible small rose petals, picked over for stems
3 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon rose water, plus more if desired
2 cups/225 grams confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons/57 grams unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup/87 grams currant jelly or seedless raspberry jam
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1 teaspoon rose water
2 tablespoons whole milk or cream, plus more as needed
Crystallized rose petals, for garnish (optional; see Tip)

Steps:

  • Make the pudding: Butter a 7- to 8-cup heatproof pudding mold or other deep baking dish or bowl.
  • Meanwhile, combine the bread crumbs, sugar, almonds, baking powder, salt, mace and rose petals in a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Using an electric hand mixer or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, mix the dry ingredients just to blend, about 10 seconds, then add the butter and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, lemon juice and rose water. Add to the bread mixture and beat until everything is evenly moistened, about 1 minute.
  • Spoon the pudding mixture into the prepared mold; it should come two-thirds up the sides of the mold. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, crimping it around the edges to seal.
  • Place the covered mold in a wide pot or Dutch oven large enough to fit it with space around and over it. Add enough water to the pot to meet the middle of the bowl. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer. Steam, replenishing with boiling water as needed so there's always enough to reach the middle of the bowl, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover tightly with foil again if the pudding needs to continue steaming after you insert the skewer.
  • When the pudding is done, uncover the pot and let the pudding cool in the pot for about 5 minutes. Wearing oven mitts or protecting your hands with kitchen towels, grip the mold and transfer it to a heatproof work surface. If the pudding seems stuck to the mold, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the mold. Center a serving plate larger than the mold over the mold, then hold both tightly together and flip. The pudding should release onto the plate. If it hasn't, tap the mold a few times, then lift off the mold. Let the pudding cool to warm.
  • While the pudding cools slightly, make the icing: In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, jelly, mace and rose water. Beat or whisk until smooth, then stir in the milk. If the icing is too thick to pour, add more milk by the tablespoon.
  • While the pudding is still warm, coat it with the icing. If you have any icing leftover, serve alongside the pudding. Decorate the pudding using the crystalized rose petals if you'd like. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Always prepare all of your ingredients and utensils before starting to cook. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overmix: When mixing batters or doughs, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense texture.
  • Use the Right Pan: Choose the right pan for the job. A heavy-bottomed pan is best for browning meats and vegetables, while a non-stick pan is ideal for eggs and pancakes.
  • Preheat Your Pan: Always preheat your pan before adding food. This will help to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking meats or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste your food before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
