Recipes


Bircher Müesli

Benjamin Mark Wood used to get this in Switzerland when he went to the temple from Mulhouse. He says that he put rolled oats in a dish and mixed in a whole bunch of fresh fruit, yogurt, and other things.

Like many missionary recipes, this one has multiple variations. According to epicurious.com:

The [Swiss] German word muesli means "mixture," and this one can include raw or toasted cereals (oats, wheat, millet, barley, etc.), dried fruits (such as raisins, apricots and apples), nuts, bran, wheat germ, sugar and dried-milk solids. It is usually eaten with milk, yogurt or fruit juice.

Crêpes

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil or butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 litre (2 cups) milk (or use 1 cup milk and 1 cup water)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional)

The easiest way to do this is to mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry, stirring constantly. Beat until smooth. Pour a small amount into a pan heated at a medium heat. French crepe pan works best. Flip crêpe when bottom is lightly browned and all batter is no longer liquid. Lightly brown other side. Serve with jam, (powdered) sugar or for a real treat, try Nutella.

Gâteau Yaourt

Here's the standard gâteau yaourt, in case anyone's interested:
  • 1 pot yaourt (n'importe quel goût)
  • 1 pot huile (on utilise le pot de yaourt pour mesurer)
  • 2 pot sucre
  • 3 pot farine
  • 3 oeufs
  • 1 sachet levure chimique (= 1 tsp baking powder)
  • 1 sachet sucre vanille (= 1 tsp vanilla)

Mélanger tout bien, et puis mettre le mélange dans une moule beurrée et farinée. Faire cuire dans un four moyen (350 F). Thanks to Gayle Toone.

Groc/Grock/Grockie

Combine and boil for one minute:
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 heaping tbsp of chunky peanut butter (optional)
Mix with first three ingredients (do not cook):
  • 4 cups oats
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Stir until well mixed. Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper.

Thanks to Jeanne (Butler) King.

Hot Dog "Dung"

  • hot dogs
  • rice
  • ketchup

Gather a generous supply of chiens chauds (hot dogs). Slice the hot dogs at a 30 degree angle. Set aside. Cook plenty of rice (especially when an AP is coming for dinner). Add sliced hot dogs to the rice and stir in ample amounts of ketchup (or to taste). Serve warm and with lots of water.

Thanks to Mark Williams.

Webmaster's note: It should be noted that the number of dishes containing rice and hot dogs known to (or improvised by) missionaries may actually exceed the number of cheeses in France. This is among the most basic.

Lemon Rocket Fuel

Combine une boîte condensed sweetened milk (aux USA Eagle Brand, en France Nestlé) with a couple of tablespoons (ou cuillerées à soupe) of lemon juice. The milk thickens to roughly the same consistency as cheesecake. Thanks to Vaughn Stephenson.

Scott Sessions proposes the following variation:

Crush "Dirty Cookies" (the ones like animal crackers) and add melted margarine until moldable. Press mixture into a pie tin.

Put 2 or 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl, and saturate the milk with lemon juice preferably from real lemons. Add a little at a time stirring thoroughly. Continue this process until the milk can't take any more juice. [If you come up short, this isn't a problem.]

Pour the lemon-milk mixture into the pie crust and fill to top. Refrigerate for an hour and then enjoy your dessert...on the moon! This is so potently sour and sweet that it sends you to outer space...hence the name...Rocket Fuel.

Webmaster's note: Outside of the addition of a crust, this is not really different from the first recipe.

Yaourt

Take a quantity of milk (we used to use several litres) and let half of it come to room temperature. (UHT milk is ideal here!) Bring the other half just to a boil, remove from heat, and stir in the room-temperature milk. Add 1 plain yogurt and a can of condensed milk for smoothness. Cut-up fruit can be added here, too. Wrap a blanket or towels around the pot and let sit overnight. In the morning, voilà! Homemade yaourt! Thanks to David Shelton.
