Hart's Reward (Pirates & Petticoats #3) (19 page)

(I found that adding sautéed peppers and onions is very flavorful.)

Indian Corn Meal Cakes

Original recipe:

Add 1/4 pound of butter to 1 quart of milk and boil.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to 1 pint of Indian meal (corn meal) and pour boiled milk and butter over it and mix. Let sit for 2 or 3 hours.

Separate 4 eggs. Set the 4 whites aside. Add 2 additional whole eggs to the 4 egg yolks and beat well and add to the Indian meal mixture.
 

Add about 5 tablespoons of wheat flour (or white flour) and more milk if the batter is too stiff.

Yep, that’s it. So again, I had fun experimenting until I came up with a bake temp and time that seemed to work. Since the recipe is for “cakes” in stead of “a” cake, I tried using a muffin pan at 350 degrees for about 20 min.

A Parrothead at heart, Chloe’s love for pirates began with Peter Pan and continued with Pirates of the Caribbean and ghost stories about pirates from the Outer Banks. She listens to Celtic music while she writes. When life gets too serious, she reads Calvin and Hobbes comics. She lives in Ohio with her tall, dark and handsome husband, three children and two rambunctious dogs, Indiana and Luke, who are named after her two favorite action heroes.

Descended from a family of cooks and gourmet chefs, Chloe is a true foodie and along with working for fortune 500 companies in marketing and teaching MBA students strategic marketing, she also ran a gourmet cookie company. Cooking for a crowd runs in the blood, so her fridge is always full. She deals with stress by baking pies (just ask her college roommates what it was like for them around exam time).
 

Her idea of a perfect day? Sailing on the caribbean with her family, sun in her face and wind at her back, and finishing the day in the kitchen making a fab gourmet meal and sipping a glass of wine.
