There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Cabinet pudding - Untested

from The Vegetarian Cook Book by E.G. Fulton

Candied citron, 1/2 cup
Seedless raisins, 1/2 cup
Currants, 1/2 cup
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Stale sponge cake, 1 quart
Milk, 2 cups
Eggs, 2
Butter, melted, 1 Tbsp.
Salt
Butter 
  1. Butter a pudding mold that will hold at least 2 quarts. Have the citron and raisins chopped fine, the currants well washed, and the cake cut into strips about an inch and a half wide and half an inch thick; sprinkle some of the fruit on the bottom of the mold, then slices of the cake; sprinkle on a little cinnamon and nutmeg, then more fruit, then the cake, and so on till the ingredients are all used. Pour over this a custard made of the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour this over the cake without cooking, and let soak one half hour, then set into a pan of water, cover, and baked until the custard is set. Serve with a tart sauce.
