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

Carrot Pie - Untested


1 cup milk
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1 /8 tsp ground cloves
1 /2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 /2 tsp (dry or fresh? I'm going to try fresh) ginger
1 ½ cup cooked mashed carrots
1 /2 cup brown sugar
1 /2 cup white sugar
1 /2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup flour

In a small saucepan, heat the milk (to 140–170 °F, steaming with small bubbles forming around the edge) and add the molasses, cloves, cinnamon and ginger. Remove from the heat to allow for the spices to infuse in the milk for 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl combined the carrot, the sugars, the salt and the eggs.
Add the infused milk and mix well.
Mix in the flour until very well combined.
Bake in unbaked pie shell at 425 for 10 minutes.
Turn down temperature to 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
