Mrs. Truman's Ozark Pudding




Source of Recipe


First Lady Truman


Recipe Introduction



White House meals have varied greatly through the years, reflecting the part of the country from which the President came, the times and the chef's ability.

Mrs. Harry S. Truman favored typically American dishes. Many were made by recipes she had collected throughout her long years as a homemaker, some of them from her native Missouri. This recipe attracted nationwide attention when it was first published in 1948. Letters poured into the White House, questioning some of the directions, but Mrs. Truman stuck to her guns.


List of Ingredients




1 egg
¾ cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1-¼ tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
½ cup chopped nuts
½ cup chopped apples
1 tsp vanilla

Recipe



Beat egg and sugar together for a long time, until very smooth. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Stir this into the sugar-egg mixture. Add nuts, apples and vanilla. Bake in a greased pie tin in a preheated 350º oven for 35 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, flavored with 3 to 4 Tbsp rum if desired, or ice cream.
