  Carmalized Bread Pudding

  Main Ingredients, bread, and a can of Pet evaporated milk. Seems that 
  there was also cinnamon and raisins in it. The recipie was from a can 
  of Pet milk aprox 25 years or so ago. 

  The pudding was baked with a double baking pan, water in the one. And 
  then served with cream.

  I have been looking for this for years, your help is appreciated.

Hello Cathy,

  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  Cut buttered bread into cubes. Mix raisins with the bread. In a 
  separate bowl, stir together milk, egg, and vanilla. Place white 
  and brown sugars in the top of a double boiler. Stir to mix. Place 
  bread and raisin mixture on top of sugar. Pour milk mixture over 
  bread. Cover. Place pan over boiling water (which is in the bottom 
  half of the double boiler). Cook on stove top for approximately 1 hour

  Back in the 1962-63 years .  When I was in Germany.  I had a german 
  rye bread.  It was a heavy grainy bread.  Is it possible you could 
  find me a recipe for that bread?  Thank you.

  Hi, 
  I'm looking for 2 recipes.  One was made with italian bread crumbs, 
  eggs and parmesan cheese and other ingredients and made into patties, 
  fried and then added to a red sauce.  The other one is a lasagna.  
  What I would call a white lasagna. It had meat but no sauce. Both of 
  these were made by a couple that I cannot locate.  These were the 
  best food I have ever tasted!  Please help me to find these recipes.  
  I would be forever in your debt...
  Thanking you in advance,
  Cindy 

Hi Cindy,

Last one first and first one last:

White lasagna isn't lasagna with no sauce. It just doesn't have a red tomato sauce. It has a creamy white sauce or alfredo sauce instead. Below is a recipe for such a white lasagna. If that's not it, there's no hope of finding the lasagna recipe you seek without the name of the dish or more ingredients, hopefully at least one that's unique. Finding the other dish is problematic. Searching for dishes with Italian bread crumbs, eggs, and parmesan cheese brings up well over a hundred page links. Every chicken parmesan and veal parmesan recipe has those ingredients. Adding "make into patties" to this search brings up no links at all. Here again, I'm going to need the name of the dish or some unique ingredients or unique combination of ingredients if there's to be a hope of finding it. Sorry. Phaed

      1      pound         ground beef
        3/4  cup           minced onion
      1      clove         garlic
      1      teaspoon      salt
        1/8  teaspoon      pepper

                           Cream Sauce
      1      pound         ricotta cheese or cottage cheese

        1/2  pound         mozzarella cheese -- sliced

In a skillet cook the meat, breaking it up with a fork, for 2 minutes.  
Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook slowly, stirring often, 
for 5 minutes, or until the onions are limp.  Cook the lasagna noodles 
as directedon the package, drain well and keep separated on waxed paper.  
Spread a small amount of Cream Sauce in a shallow baking dish about 
13x8x2 inches. Add the remaining Cream Sauce to the meat mixture. Add a 
layer of noodles to the baking dish, spread with the meat sauce and dot 
with ricotta cheese. Then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and top with a 
few slices of mozzarella. Repeat the layers, making 3 layers of each 
ingredient.  Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 40 minutes, or until hot 
and bubbly.  Let stand for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley.  
Makes 8 servings.
   
   Cream Sauce:
   3 tablespoons butter
   3 tablespoons flour
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/8 teaspoon pepper

and nutmeg.  Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the milk and cook, 
stirring, until thickened.  Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute 
longer.  Add the parsley.

I saw on your web page that you were looking for recipes for 
hough bakery. this MAY help.

I was given a recipe , many years ago, for their cake frosting. 
the original recipe was for 200 servings, & this one is cut down 
to 3 (from that recipe). I don't have the original 200 serving one.

this tastes pretty darn good,like I remember, is NOT perfect,, but 
pretty close. it also tastes BETTER if it sits overnight before using.

1 1/2 lb powdered sugar
1 3/8 oz. milk powder
66 grains salt
12 oz. shortening
7 oz. corn syrup
4 3/4 oz. water
vanilla : unknown quantity
