Café des Amis Gateau de Sirop
From: "Johnny Lonadier" <trader1969 "moresoulful recepies" Makes 16 slices 2 cups canola or peanut oil 3 ½ cups pure cane syrup 2 cups raw sugar 2/3 cup dark molasses 2 cups boiling water 4 teaspoons baking soda 8 eggs 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 4 teaspoons ground cloves 4 teaspoons ground ginger 4 tablespoons vanilla extract 4 cups sifted flour ¾ cup chopped pecans Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Combine the oil, cane syrup and molasses in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir baking soda into boiling water. Add to the oil, syrup and molasses mixture. Add all other remaining ingredients and beat well at medium to high speed with an electric mixer. Fill large muffin tins, sprayed with nonstick vegetable spray, about three-fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees until they almost set, about 10 minutes. Add the chopped pecans on top and continue baking until the muffins are completely set. Crème Anglaise Makes about 2 cups 1 cup whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 5 egg yolks ½ cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon bourbon Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan and bring just a boil. Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks and the sugar in a mixing bowl and beat well until light yellow and slightly thickened. Gradually pour the milk and cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and stir over very low heat with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, without boiling until the sauce coats the back of the spoon. Do not over cook or it will curdle. Stir in the bourbon. Serve warm or chilled. ~To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. -Sugar -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore
