Hello Everyone!
Oh what wonderful delights you all have for me!! Thank You!
Only one problem, with all of your suggestions … I need to have a lot of company to give them all a fair try! Sadly, like many recipes, not all can be easily cut back to make one or two servings.
Do hope that some of the rest of you will try at least one of the recipes, and give us all a Recipe Review!!
@Iceblossom … Oh that looks SO good! I was actually looking for a hot version with sauce, but this one really jumps at me as a lovely spring/summer dessert, when warmth in the tummy isn’t so important!
@Onebyone & Aunt!! … Very similar to the original one I posted, but even easier, being that you don’t even make the batter for the base. Any reason to not put both layers in the pan early in the day, and then just add the boiling water when you go to bake at supper time?
@aashley333 … don’t stop at just trying one!! Let temptation get you. Then, please share your Recipe Review!
@Minnesewta-sam … Googled with “magic” and found oh so many!! (thanks to you and
IceBlossom, too). But where does one even start?
@GingerK … ha! My childhood was long before Dr. Oetker existed (I think?). Can’t remember what brand the box mixes were though? You had me curious and I googled, but only a lemon pudding mix from Dr O came up, no pudding cake mix. Funny how google works at times, that you got it and I did not. Your reference to your 70+yo family recipe got me thinking: OMG I know there’s a recipe for Wash Day Pudding. I wonder? Sure enough, same vintage, in a 1949 Women’s Institute cookbook. It's always my go-to book, being that Mom kept in the kitchen drawer for when she needed a recipe. All the contributors were local ladies that I remember well! Why did I not check it first? Silly Me! Sure enough, it did not disappoint, as Wash Day Pudding is almost a match to yours. In fact, two versions. Both very similar to yours, except neither cook the sauce. I’ll include the recipes in another post.
@OurWorkbench … Looks like you just scored a Cobbler Hat Trick!! Now I have candidates for all flavour desirees!
A couple of questions, for one and all!
?Canned Lemon Pie Filling? … Seems like it no longer exists here in Canada. Do you think I could make a stove top version, to use instead of the canned? Unless per chance our other resident Canadian on this thread,
GingerK, knows where to find it?
?Butterscotch Cobbler? … any reason not to substitute maple syrup for the corn syrup? (see recipe link from
OurWorkbench)
Like I said, sure hope others will do some kitchen testing ... and let us know!
Thank You All, so much!
