"There's nothing like smashing a
couple of eggs over a friend's head and then some flour and a bit of rice pudding, you know. Food fights are great in the right place. Every time Micky has a meal, he has a food fight."
The recipes below were taken from the same Tiger Beat Monkees Spectacular Magazine that I mentioned on an earlier page (What Kind Of Girl Likes The Monkees).
I thought you might want to look them over and put your "Heart and Soul" into trying their recipes. One ingredient is not mentioned in any of the recipes but it should be added - Monkees music! Good luck, happy cooking!
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Butter for frying
Beat the egg and milk together in a bowl. Sift the flour and baking powder together and add to the previous mixture, mixing until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of thin cream. Add more flour if necessary. Grease a griddle or large frying pan lightly. Drop the batter by tablespoons, and bake over low heat until lightly browned on both sides. Serve with plenty of butter and jelly if desired.
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup ground peanuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add the sugar gradually, beating steadily. Add the peanuts and vanilla, mixing lightly. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a baking sheet well. Force the previous mixture through a pastry tube or drop by the tablespoon onto the baking sheet. Do not place the macaroons too close together. Bake in a 300 degrees oven for 20 minutes, or until firm.
1 quart water (4 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup yellow corn meal
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup grated cheese (Swiss or Parmesan)
Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add the corn meal gradually, stirring constantly until thickened. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. Butter an 8-inch square pan and pour the corn meal into it. Chill until firm, about 2 hours. Turn out carefully onto lightly floured surface. Cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Butter a baking dish thoroughly. Arrange the slices in layers, sprinkle the melted butter and grated cheese between each layer and on top. Bake at 375 degrees oven for 20 minutes, or until delicately browned.
1 1/2 cups fresh or dried grated coconut
1 1/2 cups milk
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
Combine the coconut and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat and soak for 20 minutes. Press all of the milk from the coconut. Strain, and discard the pulp. Beat the eggs well. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the coconut milk and beat well. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour into six (6) individual buttered custard cups. Place them in a pan of water and cover each cup. Bake for 20 minutes in a 350 degrees oven, or until the custard is set. Sprinkle a little grated coconut on top of each portion.
