Dinner tonight...
1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups water
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups diced chicken, cooked
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp dijon mustard
4 slices swiss cheese
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, pease, and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, covered, and allow to cook for 2 minutes. Then, turn down to simmer until the rice is completely cooked.
In a saucepan, melt your butter.. Stir in flour (roux time!), pepper, and remaining 1 tsp salt. Continue cooking until bubble. Stir in milk, water, and dijon mustard. Keep cooking and stir until sauce thickens. Add chicken and the rice and peas and mix well. Place in a baking dish, cover with the slices of swiss, and sprinkle the panko bread crumbs on top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
While traditionally, pound cake originally used a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, etc., they've evolved some, and not all pound cakes subscribe to that school of thought.
Such is the case with today's baking adventure - chocolate pound cake.
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups sugar
3 cups of sifted flour (I used the equivalent of unsifted cake flour since Softasilk does not need sifting - that was 3 cups 6 tbsp)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups milk
With a high speed mixer, cream butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Pour into a lightly greased tube or bundt pan. Bake 90 minutes at 350 degrees. After the cake has cooled, remove it from the pan.
I glazed mine with a simple sugar glaze.
