Today is our first day of beautiful sunshine for at least a week! So, its outside and yard work. The lawn is still like a sponge.........so, to Bob's relief........no mowing today. I decided on BBQ'ed hot dogs and mac and cheese. I don't mean BBQ'ed on the grill but in the oven......Hot dogs (Ball Park All Beef) slit and thrown in a pan with BBQ sauce all over and bake for an hour. My kids used to love these. You all know how to make mac and cheese so decided to tell you what I made last night while watching American Idol.
I had some frozen peach slices in the freezer, tried to think of something good to make with them and decided on Peach Pudding Cake. I made a small recipe for an 8 x8 pan......sprayed with Pam. 3/4 cup pluse about 2 Tblsp of flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda. I added a little fresh ground nutmeg......very little its a strong spice, and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. Mix tog and set aside. In your mixer put 3/4 of a stick of softened butter and 3/4 cup plus 2 Tblsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and beat up real well. Now add one egg, beat well, turn mixer to low and beat in flour mixture and a little less then 1/2 cup of buttermilk. ( If you don't have any buttermilk.......we never did in Mexico) Just add 1/2 tsp of vinegar to your 1/2 cup of milk. If this dough is too stiff.......add a little more milk. Should be a little thicker than cake dough. Pour this into your greased 8 x 8 pan and layer your peach slices on top. During baking......the peaches will sink to the bottom to make a gooey peachy thing......... Spray a piece of foil with Pam and cover the cake with the sprayed side next to the peaches. Bake 350 for 45 min. Remove from oven and take off the foil and bake another 30 min. Until browned and crispy around the edges.......let cool 1 hr. I couldn't wait and cut a piece in about 30 min..............so good with cream or Ice cream or just plain! Bob missed the whole thing, as he didn't want to watch American Idol and retired to the bedroom to watch some "really interesting" show on the History channel! LOL
