We went down to Mr Lilly's grannies today (she's 101 and in a nursing home) to get a wooden biscuit bowl that we made for her years ago. One of his uncles told us if we wanted it back that we better go get it now, before someone ended up breakin in the house and stealin things (ya never know) Anyway while we were there, I remembered that she kept her recipes in a drawer in the kitchen. Found the one I was lookin for, to bring home and copy recipes down from, but also found another one that belonged to her mother. Faded crispy pages all written in pencil.
Some real interestin soundin recipes in there, but none of em tell what temperature to bake things at, or for how long, some don't even give instructions, just ingredients. (guess your sposta just know) :roll:
There's an ingredient that I"m perdy sure is the same thing as Lard or shortenin, but it's written Spry.....was that a brand of lard? or is that another word used in place of the word lard? Anyone know?
Everywhere it calls for flour, it says Pillsbury's best flour, and if it calls for cake flour it says SnoSheen cake flour(which I've never seen in the store) I'm sure any cake flour will do, but it's neat to see things in recipes that are no longer available........now if I can figure how long to cook em and at what temperature.......
