Welcome

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the First Edition!

Thank You For Making My Website Such A Success!

Although homemade-dessert-recipes.com has only been online for a year, thanks to faithful visitors like you, my website has become a popular resource for finding old-fashioned, easy dessert recipes.

My site is currently ranked by Alexa at 524,472 and climbing. What does this mean? Well, it is now the 524,000th most trafficked site on the Web. According to Netcraft.com's statistics, there are approximately 56.1 million sites presently on the Internet. Therefore, my site is now rated in the "Top 1 Percent" of all websites in the world!

How did my little site become so popular in such a short time? Well, I owe it all to loyal visitors like yourself, and to the best all-in-one site-hosting system on the Internet... Site Build It! This amazing system allows someone like me with no prior knowledge of site building or html to create a successful website. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can do it.

This monthly newsletter will inform you of changes and additions I make to the website, and in each issue you will get a hand-picked, old-fashioned dessert recipe before anyone else.

Thank you for visiting my website.

Warm regards,

Don

Old-Fashioned Recipe

Sunderland Pudding Recipe

This old-fashioned recipe is taken from "The White House Cook Book" by Hugo Ziemann, Steward of the White House, and Mrs. F. L. Gillette, a celebrated 19th-century cookbook author, published by The Saalfield Publishing Company, New York, in 1913.

One cupful of sugar, half a cupful of cold butter, a pint of milk, two cupfuls of sifted flour and five eggs. Make the milk hot; stir in the butter and let it cool before the other ingredients are added to it; then stir in the sugar, flour and eggs, which should be well whisked and omit the whites of two; flavor with a little grated lemon rind and beat the mixture well.

Butter some small cups, rather more than half fill them; bake from twenty minutes to half an hour, according to the size of the puddings, and serve with fruit, custard, or wine sauce, a little of which may be poured over them. They may be dropped by spoonfuls on buttered tins and baked, if cups are not convenient.

Recipe For Wine Or Brandy Sauce

Take one cupful of butter, two of powdered sugar, the whites of two eggs, five tablespoonfuls of sherry wine (or brandy), and a quarter of a cupful of boiling water. Beat butter and sugar to a cream, add the whites of the eggs, one at a time, unbeaten, and then the wine or brandy. Place the bowl in hot water and stir till smooth and frothy.
