The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 medium pears, cored, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
whipped topping, if desired
Stir flour, baking powder and salt. Beat 1/2 cup sugar, egg and butter until smooth. Blend in flour mixture.
Place pear slices in greased 8" square baking pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir 1/3 cup sugar, 2 Tbs. flour, cinnamon and ginger. Sprinkle over pears and toss.
Drop batter by spoonfuls over pears. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35-40 minutes, or until topping is crisp and brown. Serve hot or cold with whipped topping, if desired.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This was a great quick and easy recipe! I tried it as a last-minute dessert and it turned out perfectly. It might be a stretch for 6, but perfect servings for 4.
