Best Laurie Colwins Nutmeg Cake Recipes
NUTMEG CAKE
comes from The Spice and Herb Bible, 2nd. Edition. Haven't made, but will soon. It looks like it could be a wonderful coffee cake. It is alittle different due to the allspice and coriander.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and butter sides of an 8-inch round cake pan. Line the base with greased parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and coriander, then rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Spoon half of this mixture over the base of the prepared pan.
- Whisk the egg and nutmeg into the milk, then add to the remaining flour mixture to make a very runny batter. Stir thoroughly. Pour the batter over the crumbs in the pan.
- Bake for 70 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to touch in the center. Cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out and cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
- *Note: If you can't find self-rising flour, substitute an equal amount of all-purpose flour and add 1 tbsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt.
LAURIE COLWIN'S BAKED MUSTARD CHICKEN
This old-school chicken, Sunday-night-supper chicken, even dinner party chicken, is baked for about two hours (yes, you read that correctly: two hours) until its bread crumb-coated skin is crisp - yet the meat miraculously maintains its moisture. The recipe, adapted from the great food writer Laurie Colwin, is so simple to make that her original version was written out in a brief paragraph, casually instructing the home cook to coat the chicken with mustard, garlic, a little thyme, a pinch of cinnamon. We have adapted the recipe to include measurements and more specific direction, but that shouldn't stop you from absorbing her nonchalance and confidence as you make it, the certainty that it will turn out delicious every time.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place bread crumbs in another large bowl.
- Working in batches, coat chicken quarters on all sides with mustard mixture. Shake off excess mustard, then coat completely with bread crumbs. Arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan.
- Dust the chicken with paprika and scatter butter pieces on top. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and crispy, about 2 hours. (Depending on the oven, the size of the pan and the size of the chickens, baking time may be as long as 2 1/2 hours.) Serve hot or at room temperature.

LAURIE COLWIN'S GINGERBREAD
The writer Laurie Colwin had an obsession with gingerbread, publishing a few different essays and recipes exploring its charms. In the essay that precedes this moist, cakelike rendition, from her book "Home Cooking," she writes that it is "home food" - not fancy restaurant food, that is, but soothing cold-weather food that is simple to make, ideal for an afternoon spent holed up indoors. The essay is also a paean to Steen's cane syrup, from Louisiana, which comes in cheerful yellow cans. Steen's is easy to find online, if not at your local supermarket, but the recipe does not suffer if you use another brand of light molasses instead. Serve the cake plain with whipped cream, or with fruit and a dollop of crème fraîche, or glazed with lemon icing, as Ms. Colwin often did. (The New York Times)
