Are you up for the challenge?

(Ken)
Here is a challenge for our budding chef in the family (that is Len people) ..................... Baked French Vanilla Alaska or maybe and an even better suggestion, a French Vanilla tasting Predikantsvrou Poeding (look it up..)

(Len)

I found the recipe for the Predikantsvrou Poeding but it is in Afrikaans and I am going to need your help deciphering it. I tried the Afrikaans-English Dictionary and I can tell it has milk and sugar and eggs and vanilla and a golden something (goue) but can’t come up with the rest of the ingredients or the method to follow.
Predikantsvrou Poeding
3 E botter/margarien
1 K suiker
1 eier
1 K koekmeel
1 K melk
1 t vanielje
2 E goue stroop
1 t koeksoda
knippie sout
Metode(Method)
(Mix all)Meng alles saam in 'n oondskottel met 'n deksel. (Bake)Bak vir 'n
(45 minutes)3/4 uur op (356 F)180ºC. Wanneer gaar gooi 'n klein blikkie Ideal (Milk)melk bo-oor warm poeding. (Indien jy nie Ideal melk in die huis het nie, kook saam 1/2 K melk, 2 E suiker en 1 t margarien - net so lekker
bo-oor.)

By the way I did use Bryer’s French Vanilla Ice-cream with no sugar added for the Baked Alaska we had on Tuesday. I knew you liked French vanilla as your favorite ice cream flavor.

That is really great. I was only having a bit of fun too. But here you
go, in my best translation.........
Predikantsvrou Poeding
(Preacher's wifes Pudding)
3 E botter/margarien 3 Tablesppons butter/margarine
1 K suiker 1 cup sugar
1 eier 1 egg
1 K koekmeel 1 cup flour
1 K melk 1 cup milk
1 t vanielje 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 E goue stroop 2 Tablespoons golden syrup
1 t koeksoda 1 teaspoon baking soda
knippie sout pinch salt
Metode Method
Meng alles saam in 'n oondskottel met 'n deksel. Mix everything together in a oven pan with lid. Bak vir 'n (45 minutes)3/4 uur op (356 F)180ºC. Bake for 45 minutes at 356 F. Wanneer gaar gooi 'n klein blikkie Ideal (Milk )melk bo-oor warm poeding. When cooked, throw a small amount of evaporated milk over the hot pudding. (Indien jy nie Ideal melk in die huis het nie, kook saam 1/2 K melk, 2 E suiker en 1 t margarien - net so lekker bo-oor.) (If you do not have any evaporated milk in the house, then boil 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon margarine - just as nice over.)

I really don't expect you to make this one, it is a simple baked desert
that I found, but have never tried. I was searching for "poeding" and
this was one of them. It was only a joke. But thanks anyway. lol
