Buttermilk Lemon Pound Cake

POUND CAKE:
4 eggs
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. butter or margarine, at room temperature
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
1 c. buttermilk

LEMON GLAZE:
1/3 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. vanilla

To prepare the pound cake: Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, salt, soda, baking powder and nutmeg; set aside. Put the butter into the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat until smooth. Slowly add the sugar, beating constantly, and continue beating until smooth and well blended. Add the eggs all at once and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sprinkle about half the flour mixture over the butter mixture and beat until well blended. Add the lemon juice and peel with half of the buttermilk. Alternate the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk and beat until the batter is smooth and
well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake the bundt cake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, the loaf cakes for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cakes test clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on wire rack 5 minutes before unmolding.

LEMON GLAZE: Stir together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Brush over the top of the warm cake; cool completely before cutting.

Lemon Buttermilk Pound Cake

1 c. margarine or butter
6 eggs
1 c. buttermilk
3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Lemon Icing

Bring butter or margarine, eggs and buttermilk to room temperature. Grease and flour a 10" tube pan or 2 (8"x4"x2") loaf pans. In a small bowl stir together flour and baking soda; set aside. In large mixer bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed until softened. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition, scraping bowl frequently. (Scraping the bowl assures that the batter will be thoroughly mixed.) Add lemon peel, lemon juice and vanilla; beat
well. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to beaten mixture. Turn batter into prepared pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 to 60
minutes (tube pan) or 40 to 45 minutes (loaf pans). Cool on rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.

LEMON ICING: In a bowl combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon shredded lemon peel and 3 to 4 teaspoons juice and 1 teaspoon milk (sweet milk) and put on cake.

2 inch (5 cm) piece of fresh ginger root
4 scallions
1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame seed oil
3 tablespoons (45 ml) rice wine or dry sherry

Cut deep gashes into the sides of the fish, about 3/4 inch (2 cm) apart;
it does not matter if the gashes hit the bone. Rub the salt all over the
fish, inside the cavity as well as on the skin outside, then put the fish
on a plate or in a shallow bowl.

Slice the ginger thinly. Clean the scallions, then cut into 1 inch
(2 1/2 cm) lengths. Put half the scallions and ginger into the cavity
of the fish. Carefully sprinkle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the
fish, then spread the rest of the ginger and scallions on top.

plate in a steamer tray and set the tray over the water. Sprinkle the
wine or sherry over the fish. Bring the water to a boil, then cover

boil, cover and poach over lowest heat for 45 minutes or just until the
fish flakes easily with a fork. Carefully lift the rack with the fish
on it from the pan. Drain well. Place the fish on a platter and garish

melt 1 stick butter
4 eggs
1 tsp salt - beat well till frothy

1/2 Cup sugar

add:
2 Cups milk
1 1/4 Cup flour

Pour melted butter into pan. Add mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake 25 minutes at 425 degrees. Pancake

Or they can be served with apple bake mix -

Peel, core and slice apples (however many you need) put into a Pam sprayed baking pan

Sprinkle cinnamon, brown sugar, a bit of maple syrup & butter on apples and mix.

Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake until apples are fork tender and slightly browned.

When I was a little girl my Nana would make up batches of these (the pancake mix will last for 5 days in your
frig), and roll them up over the apple mix like a crepe, then sprinkle all over with confectioners sugar! So good!

Carol,.IL. (04:02:33) : POTATO, LEEK AND CARROT PANCAKES

1 tablespoon olive oil or veg. oil
2 leeks, well rinsed & thinly sliced
(white and pale green parts only)
2 large russet potatoes (about 1 1/4 lbs, peeled and coarsely grated)
1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon salt; pepper to taste
3 eggs , lightly beaten

Vegetable oil for frying & sour cream for garnish (optional)

1> Heat the 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Cook the leeks over
medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are softened but not
browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Wipe skillet with paper
towel.
2> Add the grated potatoes and carrot to the leeks. Stir in the parsley,
salt, pepper and eggs. Mix well.
3> Heat 1/8 to 1/4 inch oil in skillet (can use less but they will be less
crunchy). It's ready when a bit of the mixture sizzles as soon as it's
added. When the oil is hot, use a soup spoon to scoop dollops of the
mixture, press down slightly on the pancakes to flatten to about 3 - 4
inches in diameter. Cook over medium high heat, turning once, until crisp
and brown, about 4 minutes per side.
4> Place the pancakes briefly on paper towel to drain, then serve hot.

Makes four servings.

Title: Galette lyonnaise (Lyonnaise Potato Galette)
Categories: Potatoes, France
Yield: 6 servings

2 kg Baking potatoes (2 pounds) peeled
2 md Onions
6 tb Butter; unsalted ( 3 oz)
Nutmeg; freshly grated
Salt
Pepper; black, freshly ground

The bistros of Lyons are a potato lover's paradise. This version, typical
of the simple potato and onion mixtures typically served with roast meats
or steak, is quick and easy to prepare.

Boil or steam the potatoes until tender and mashable. Drain. Let the
potatoes rest for a few minutes. Coarsely mash with a fork, leaving a few
irregular chunks.

Preheat the broiler.

Halve the onions lengthwise; cut each half into thin half-moon rounds.

In a large skillet, melt 1/3 of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the
onions and saute until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.

Add 1/3 more of the butter and melt. Add the potatoes, season generously
with nutmeg, salt and pepper, and cook, tossing the mixture about 2 or 3
more minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a gratin dish. Smooth with the back of a large
spoon, then dot with the remaining butter.

Brown lightly under the broiler.

Serve immediately.
