In a previous post, I had talked about going on a mission to search out old cookbooks and recipes. I have been searching, but for some reason, I have let myself get side tracked, and now, I'm all things Canadian. Well maybe not all things Canadian, but Canadian desserts, yes. I think it's probably because I came across this tasty dessert, in my Woman's World Magazine and thought it looked really scrumptious. When I read the ingredients, I was sold. One thing I have been doing lately, is making dishes and desserts that in the past, I might not have attempted to make. Several weeks ago, I made Maple Pouding Chomeur, which literally means (poor man's pudding). This dessert is, on my gosh, absolutely AMAZING. I am upset with the fact that I have gone all my life without ever eating this. Really, I'm not surprised it has taken this long, considering I live in Texas, far from Canada. I'm somewhat envious that Canadians have been eating this dessert since the Great Depression and I'm just now, discovering it. This definitely will not be the last Canadian dessert I make. I have seen this recipe written many different ways, but this one I absolutely love, and it is extremely fool proof.
MAPLE POUDING CHOMEUR
Ingredients:
1 cup APF
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbs. shortening
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup water
2 tsp. butter
1/2 cup sweetened, flaked coconut
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Butter 8" square baking pan. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Beat in sugar and shortening, then beat in egg. Alternately beat in milk and flour mixture until stiff batter forms. Spread in pan. In pot, mix syrup and water; bring to boil. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Slowly pour over batter dough; sprinkle with coconut. Bake 35 minutes. Serves 9
When I was ready to cut and serve my dessert, I scooped a dollop of whip cream on top, but vanilla ice cream would kick it up a notch.
