Williamsburg Wrapples Recipes

WILLIAMSBURG ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan, two 9-inch round cake pans, or three 8-inch round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, combine cake flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix in butter, shortening, buttermilk, eggs, raisins, nuts, orange zest and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes on high speed. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Bake 9x13 inch pan 45 to 50 minutes, or layers 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool, and frost with Williamsburg Butter Frosting.

WILLIAMSBURG SEAFOOD MUDDLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large kettle or soup pot over medium-high heat.
• Add the onions, carrots, and celery and sauté, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes; add the garlic, stir, and sauté 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes and potatoes, stir; reduce the heat to medium low then cover and simmer until the potatoes are just softened, about 10 minutes (make sure to check it to make sure it doesn't scorch, you can add a few tablespoons of fish stock to keep it safe).
• Add the fish stock, increase the temperature to high, and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the saffron and simmer until the potatoes are cooked completely through, about 10-15 minutes.
• Add the scrubbed clams and cook until they begin to open, about 5 minutes.
• Add the fish, shrimp, and mussels and cook until the shrimp is pink and the mussels are opened, about 10 minutes.
• Discard any clams or mussels which did not fully open, check seasoning and adjust as necessary (with salt and pepper).
• Serve hot in warmed bowls, garnished with chopped parsley.
• Note: if you don't have saffron, you can leave it out - but it's more authentic with it.
• Also, for a good fish stock, check White Wine Fish Stock recipe #51186.
