Pudding Talk ... I love Paula Deen ... love her recipies .. but I find her desserts just tooooo rich and believe me I love a sweet treat. My favorite recipe of hers is her fried chicken.
You soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk, then dredge in a mixture of self-rising flour, salt and pepper. Cook in hot oil in a big cast iron pan. This is a wonderful way to have chicken.
I love when Paula cooks with her sons ... there is such affection between them ...

My DH gave me a DVD collection of Paula Deen's and I just love watching them.LOL She seems to really enjoy herself. I like to see her get really tickled at something. Her laugh just cracks nme up. lol The cookies she makes with Chopped candied cherries,macadamia nuts & white chocolate chips are soooo yummy. We love them. I have the recipe at home & will share it when I go back. You can get it off the web though. I think she calls the Cherry Chunkies? They are gooood

Hugs & Love

At one time, I had a great recipe for pound cake. I remember you used a pound of butter, a pound of powdered sugar. I can't remember the rest of the recipe. Does anyone have this?

Also, I used to have a Fruit Cake recipe called Texas Candy Cake. Can't find that one either. If anyone has these recipes, I would love to have them again.

Hi girls,

this is not a recipe, but a request for help.

Ken has bought me a bench-top convection oven, off of ebay.
It has come with VERY vague directions and no "how to's" or recipes, of any kind.

I have no idea AT ALL how to work the thing, the instructions are all gobbitty-gook, they make no sense at all.

Any ideas ladies?

Linda, this Pound Cake Recipe probably isn't the one you are looking for, but it's awesome and very different in the prep.

Pound Cake

2 cups Cake Flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla

DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and beat with mixer for 20 MINUTES. Pour into a well greased and floured bundt or tube cake pan.
Bake at 350 deg. for one hour.
