"frankenstein" Recipe

[Kitchen Witch]

Here's a little cooking game that I thought would be nice for those who would like to participate!

THE ONLY RULE IS - YOU MAY ONLY ADD ONE INGREDIENT TO THE RECIPE!

I will start the recipe off - and then each participant will add an ingredient and a proper measurement AND WHEN WE HAVE A COMPLETED LIST OF INGREDIENTS - LAST PERSON HAS TO ENTER THE DIRECTIONS TO THE RECIPE!

So here goes our first "Frankenstein" Recipe and I would like to start with the first ingredient:

4 1/2 c. flour




what would you like to add to the recipe???? Remember - only one ingredient per participant!!!

Kitchen Witch

[Shadows]

4 pickled pigs feet

[b-man]

Great idea K\W...

here's my contribution:

2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix


this could still work...in my recipe for ??? it calls for 4-1\2 cups of flour, but we will have to make due!

Pickled Pigs Feet? Hmmmm...now I remember what else besides anchovies that my stomach will reject! But maybe with vanilla pudding and...nah, won't work either.

[Kitchen Witch]

WOW - What a selection of ingredients!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm - let's see what we can come up with (YIKES!)

Well B-Man - it looks like you may have been heading in this direction:

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.


I won't bother with the measurements - the ingredients are enough of a challenge!!


Dark brown sugar, crushed pineapple, butter, eggs - maybe:

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. butter or margarine
1 can (30 oz.) pineapple slices - substituting crushed pineapple
10 maraschino cherries
2 c, cake flour - sifted
2 T. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg - beaten
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. milk

Sprinkle brown sugar in bottom of well-greased pan. Dot with butter. Drain pineapple. Place slices in pan with cherry in center of each pineapple slice. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cream shortening. Add sugar gradually and beat until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, alternately with milk. Pour batter over fruit. Bake at 350* F. until brown, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Turn upside down on serving plate.



We could use the pineapple, rum, eggs and raisins:

PINEAPPLE COCONUT RUM CAKE
1 white cake mix (without pudding)
4 eggs
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. dark rum
1 pkg. instant coconut cream pudding
1/4 c. water
1 lg. size can crushed pineapple in its own juice (approximately 1 1/2 c.)
1 1/2 c. flaked coconut

TOPPING:
1 lg. container Cool Whip
1 sm. can crushed pineapple in its own juice
1 pkg. instant coconut cream pudding
1/3 c. dark rum
2 c. flaked coconut

Mix together above ingredients in a bowl according to cake instructions. Add and mix together: Pour into 9"x13" cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Cool cake thoroughly, I put it in the refrigerator overnight after it is cool to chill it. Mix topping together and spread on cake, sprinkle with flaked coconut.


or maybe:

TROPICAL COFFEE CAKE
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 c. Bisquick
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1 egg
2/3 c. milk
Pineapple glaze

1/2 c. shredded coconut

PINEAPPLE GLAZE:
1/2 c. crushed pineapple
1/4 c. brown sugar
3 tbsp. butter

Mix 1/4 cup brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Sprinkle greased 9 inch square pan with 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Combine Bisquick, sugar, butter, egg and milk; beat vigorously 1/2 minute. Spread half the batter in pan. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Spoon remaining batter over sugar, spreading carefully. Pour glace over batter and sprinkle with coconut. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm. Combine; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 3 minutes.


or even:

PINEAPPLE RAISIN CAKE

1/2 c. butter or margarine, room temperature
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. dark raisins
4 slices canned pineapple
1/2 c. juice drained from pineapple
1/2 c. sugar

Moist and full of flavor, this cake keeps very well. Bake it in an attractive tube-type mold or a 6-cup ring mold. For 1 cake you will need: TIPS: This cake is a good choice if you want to bake a cake a day ahead. It actually improves with 24 hours of standing, although it is also delicious served while still hot. Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Mix until batter is smooth. Stir in the raisins. Cut pineapple into 1/2 inch pieces and add to the batter. Turn into a well-buttered and floured 6 cup fancy cake or ring mold. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until cake tests done in the center. Meanwhile, heat juice from pineapple and sugar to boiling. Remove cake from oven and immediately pour pineapple syrup over. Allow to stand 5 minutes; then turn out onto cooling rack.


If the pineapple were slices instead of crushed:

This is a recipe for making pickled pigs feet which includes cayenne pepper:

Pickled Pig Feet

3-4 pounds split pig feet
1/2 cup sweet pickle juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup cider vinegar
1-2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)


Boil pig feet in enough water to cover well until tender.
In separate pot mix all remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
Pour most of the water off pig feet, replace that liquid with vinegar mixture, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 20-30 minutes.

Comments: May double or increase vinegar mixture as needed, if you are cooking a larger amount of pig feet.

But since the pigs feet are already pickled - whoever wants to (NOT ME!!!) can just eat them!!

Kitchen Witch

I guess that I misunderstood your "frankenstein" recipe game. I was under the impression that a "frankenstein" recipe was to be MADE from the ingredients that we posted, not posting recipes that contain the same ingredients. Maybe we can invent a good recipe to call our own. Then if someone actually tries it and makes appropriate adjustments, voila! An original RSN members recipe! (Members can submit their own opinion of directions and then an actual good RSN members recipe can be chosen.) But then, we'd have to include ingredients that compliment each other seriously, because would you actually eat the recipe below? LOL You said "Last person has to enter the directions to the recipe." - I thought would be something such as:

4-1/2 cups flour
4 pickled pigs feet
2 (3.4 ounce) pkgs instant vanilla pudding
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapples
4 cups rum
3 large eggs
1/4 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tsp ground cayenne
2 (1-1/2 pkg) of raisins

Coat the pickled pigs feet with 2 cups flour. In skillet, brown the pigs feet on all sides in the butter. Simmer the pigs feet in 2 cups rum for 3 hours. Remove from liquid and pull off all the meat.

Combine the remaining 2-1/2 cups flour, eggs, and 1-1/2 cups rum to form a smooth batter. Make little bundles of the meat with your hands and drop in the batter. Deep fry until golden brown; drain on paper towels.

Combine the instant pudding mix with the crushed pineapples, remaining 1/2 cup rum, brown sugar, cayenne and raisins. Bring mixture to low simmer until sugar dissolves and all is well combined.

To serve, place pickled pigs feet balls on platter with a small bowl of spicy pineapple vanilla rum sauce for dipping.

Now...if you're going to actually try this recipe, let us know how it tastes! LOL

VERY GOOD ALINE!!!!

This was originally meant to be ingredients to make one item - but the pigs feet really threw it off! I was hoping that by changing it more members would want to get involved. You did an excellent job with the ingredients! Now that is RSN Original by Aline!!!!

And B-Man - GOOD RECIPE!

Now let's see who has a recipe using fruit cocktail and butter and ????????????

Kitchen Witch

[Shelley E Bodnar]

I say a botlle of wild turkey, you'll need it to get this stuff down!!!!!!

[patm099]

Well, if you're going for a fruitcake, you certainly can use the fruit cocktail and the butter. And I suppose you could replace the liquid with wild turkey (but what about the non alcoholic--excuse me non drinking chefs?) But what can you do with my ingredient (one cup sour cream) to make it interesting?

[Kitchen Witch]

Pat - I don't know if I am right or wrong with this - but I interpreted Shelley's bottle of wild turkey as something to drink after enjoying Aline's Original! So I am going ask if you would like to post a recipe using fruit cocktail, butter and sour cream. We will need to see if Shelley was adding to the new recipe (with the fruit cocktail) or Aline's Original. Shelley - which recipe was it for?? Thanks for the participation - we can have some good recipes and like B-Man said - RSN Original!!
