Chômeur's Pudding

A classic French Canadian dessert. Along with rice pudding and gelatin, this is one of the most commonly offered desserts in diners. Contrary to the usual recipe, this one uses milk for a more cake-like texture.

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup white sugar
½ cup margarine, divided
1 large egg

Sift flour and baking powder into a small bowl.
Beat sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, stirring batter briefly after each addition just to combine. Pour into the prepared dish.

Russian Potato Salad

This is no ordinary potato salad. This salad consists of potatoes, turkey hot dogs, pickles, scallions, hard-boiled eggs, and sweet peas. All of the ingredients are finely chopped and dressed with mayonnaise. This salad has been in my family for four generations. Enjoy!

Norwegian Potato Flatbread (Lefse)

This is my take on Norwegian flatbread. Without really knowing what I was doing, these came out delightfully tender, supple, almost fabric-like in texture, and tasting deliciously like something between a crepe and a potato pancake. They're traditionally served with butter and a sprinkle of sugar, but I also enjoy them with some smoked salmon, sour cream, and fresh dill. My other favorite topping combo is butter and some kind of berry jam and sour cream.
