I found a book (online - I don't HAVE it) called The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. It's full of recipes for foods that are mentioned in the Harry Potter series. How cool would it be to make some Hogwarts/Hogsmeade foods?
Your assignment is the following:
> Keep a piece of paper tucked in your current Harry Potter book so that you can write down a list of foods as you read about them.
> When you find a food, send me an email and I will see if I can find a recipe for it.
> Follow the recipe and make the food - take lots of photos.
> Upload your photos to the blog and write a short description of how the food tasted or how easy/difficult it was to make.
This assignment covers LA and HCE.
This project will have at least 5 recipes made before the end of May. Here's your first recipe:
Butterbeer
Time to make: 1 hour
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 TBSP water
2 TBSP butter
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 cup heavy cream (divided into 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (to taste)
Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda
Directions:
Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Over Medium heat, bring to a gentle boil, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240F on a candy thermometer.
Step 2: Stir in the butter, cider vinegar, and 1/2 cup of the heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice (to taste). Place in refrigerator until cool.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until thickened.
To Serve: divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, and then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cram soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
