When a recipe calls for cream what do they mean?
In baking, creaming is the first step in baking a cake, and the most important. Butter should be at room temperature, not melted. Beat the butter first in a large bowl, preferably with a wooden spoon, until it is creamy. Add the sugar gradually, and continue beating until the butter and sugar are fully combined with no lumps of butter showing. If done correctly, the mixture will be almost white.
Whole eggs are added next, one at a time with the mixture being beaten well after each addition. The hard part is done, and the rest of the batter should go together more quickly.
Texas toast is just thick slices of bread toasted on a grill. You'll need thick sliced bread (which you can buy in most groceries in Texas) or an unsliced loaf that you can slice. Each piece should be about 1 inch thick. Rub butter in a fry pan or on a griddle and place the bread in the butter. When the firs side is browned, rub more butter in the pan and turn the bread. When the second side is browned, it's done. Some people sprinkle garlic powder in the toast.

What is the recipe for Homemade Chocolate Pudding?
Chocolate Pudding Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 squares (3 ounces) unsweetened chocolate OR 1/2 cup cocoa
3 tablespoons corn starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (this is necessary for the proper taste even though you are making a chocolate pudding)
If you are using cocoa… start by combining the cocoa, sugar, corn starch, salt, and milk in a large saucepan. At first the corn starch may clump, but use a whisk and keep stirring and it will dissolve nicely. Still stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to thicken and boil. Boil one minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Using another dish, lightly beat the three eggs. (I use the same whisk.) Gradually stir about half of the hot corn starch mixture into the eggs. If you're nervous about accidentally prematurely cooking the eggs with the heat, add the corn starch mixture one tablespoon at a time, and don't forget to keep stirring as you add it in.
After about half of the hot mixture has been mixed into the eggs, pour all of the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the hot corn starch mixture. Stir both together thoroughly. Put the saucepan back on the heat, still stirring constantly, and boil the mixture for one more minute. Remove the pan from the heat again and stir in the vanilla and the butter.

How do you lessen flavor of turmeric in recipe?
Usually when you add things like spices or herbs to a hot mixture with or without water, you are releasing oils and other essences. It is like coffee or tea. You can steep the tea in too hot of water, for too long. Once you do that, you have already brought out the good and then some. If you steap too long, you leach out more flavors than you bargained for.
I would assume that analogy would apply for turmeric. If you put it in when you first start cooking, you are releasing all the good stuff. Once all the good stuff is gone, you start getting more than you intended from the spice. If you add it later in the cook time, you will extract less flavor compounds. Also, if you put it in when it is extremely hot, you are leaching even more flavors out, whether you intended to get those or not.
I would say it totally depends on what you are cooking. I would try adding it about 3-7 mintues before you are finished. If you are only cooking something for a few mintes, then do it a minute or two and experiment a little. You might even let the food you are cooking coast right before it is ready to serve. By that I mean, when you are close the end, just shut the burner off and let it cool down some. Then add your spice and stir it in, helping to get the flavors out. Then serve and enjoy.
It may take a few cracks at it to find the flavor to bitterness ratio you are looking for. Everyone is different. We all have our own pallets to please. Try it out and let me know what you find!
