Simple No-Oven Desserts
- Make stove-top puddings like tapioca or chocolate pudding when you lack an oven or microwave.
- Try posset: bring rich cream and sugar to a boil, remove from heat, then add lemon juice to set lightly.
Make A Potsticker Cake
- Make dumplings and pan-fry them tightly, then add water and steam to finish for a crispy-bottom “potsticker cake.”
- Or pour a cornstarch slurry to create starchy wings that hold the pancake together.
Tamales Are A Rewarding Project
- Try making tamales as a group project since they freeze well and feed many days.
- Prepare masa in a mixer with warm stock and fat, spread on soaked corn husks or banana leaves, fill and steam.
