Here's the recipe for Watergate Pudding. I have no idea where the name originated, except that I first had it '73. Watergate Pudding This is a layered pudding, so I'm going to list the ingredients and instructions seperately for each layer. Layer I 1 c Flour 2 tsp Sugar 1/2 c Butter 1/2 c Chopped Pecans Mix well in a 9*13(2 pan, and spread it flat. Bake at 350 F until a light brown, aprox. 20 min., and allow it to cool. Layer II 8 oz Cream Cheese 2/3 c Confectioners Sugar (also known as powdered sugar) 7 oz Cool Whip ( or your favourite whipped topping) Mix the cream cheese and the sugar well, and then mix in the Cool Whip. Spread this on the *COOL* layer I. If Layer I is not cool, then the Cool Whip melts, making a soggy mess. I know, I learned the hard way. Layer III 2 Packages Instant Pistachio Pudding 2 1/2 c Cold Milk Mix these well, and when the pudding gets thick enough, spread on top of Layer II. Cover layer III with the 7 oz of Cool Whip that's left, and then chill. Serve chilled. If you can, use a glass pan to make this, as the layering is visible, and people think you slaved for hours to make it. :-) -- Arun Welch Ohio State University ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!welch
