Subject: brownies with pudding
I used to have a brownie mix that you added chocolate pudding mix
to. I remember it took eggs and butter, flour and all the usual
ingredients, but one of the ingredients was pudding mix. I would
really like to find it. They were delicious.

Subject: Cardamom Balls
I'm searching (and have been for quite a few years) for cardamom balls.
They are a 1" round cookie and frosted with a lemon glaze.
I made them twenty years ago from a Christmas cookie receipe I found in
a popular magazine. I've been kicking myself ever since for not saving
the receipe!
Can you help?
Marna
Hi Marna,
Hmmmm........ I did find a recipe or two (see below), but these have an egg glaze rather than a lemon glaze.
I could not locate one with a lemon glaze.

Do you know of a recipe for marshmallow cream frosting, like the kind
found on devils food cakes?
Thank-you
Hi,
Well, I'm a bit puzzled. I looked through quite a few devil's food cake recipes, and I didn't find any that mentioned marshmallow creme frosting.
I did find a recipe for marshmallow cream frosting, which is below. But most devil's food cakes have either a fudge frosting (also below), or else
they just say "use your favorite frosting".

Cream the shortening and flavorings together. Then add the sugar, a
little at a time, until the mixture begins to look like coarse crumbs.
Then add salt water a little at a time until the mixture begins to get
smooth and becomes the consistency of --icing.

Subject: REAL Persimmon Pudding
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
I am in search of a recipe for a true persimmon pudding, not a
bread/cake like concoction. My grandmother had a huge persimmon
tree in her front yard and used to make persimmon pudding on the
stovetop every fall. The outcome was a very dense pudding with
the creamy consistency and texture of a pumpkin pie filling.
I know it had a little cinnamon and possibly vanilla.
Please help,
Laura
Hi Laura,
I found about 75 persimmon "pudding" recipes. After sorting out those recipes, I found the ones below that would seem to have
the consistency of pudding rather than cake. The first one even says that it should have the consistency of "custard". I hope
one of these is right. I can't say for sure what the texture of the end result will be from them.
