Recipes For a Variety of Old Fashion Breads - Johnny Cakes, Buttermilk Biscuits, and Hot Rolls

Yes, you can go home again. Well, sort of anyway. With these recipes you just may be able to recreate some of the delicious breads you remember from Grandma's and Mom's. Remember Johnny Cakes? Now you can make your own with this simple old-fashion recipe. Do You prefer those delicious big ole buttermilk biscuits? You can do that, too, using this recipe for Wilma's Favorite Buttermilk Biscuits. Or perhaps you prefer hot rolls. Bet you've never tried this recipe for Jiffy Cake Mix Hot Rolls!

JOHNNY CAKES

1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp soda
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten

Mix all ingredients together using only enough strokes to mix well. Drop by spoonfuls on hot griddle. Fry until brown on each side.

WILMA'S FAVORITE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
This is another old Southern Indiana recipe.

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup lard (or shortening)
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 tsp baking soda

Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together into a large bowl. Work the lard into the flour mixture using your fingers. Mix the baking soda into the buttermilk and add to the flour mixture; blend lightly. Knead and roll out to 1/2-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Using a biscuit cutter or the lip of a glass cut the dough. Bake on a greased baking pan (or even better, a cast iron skillet).

NOTE: Do not over knead the dough. The less you knead, the better the biscuits.

JIFFY CAKE MIX HOT ROLLS

1 box Jiffy brand white cake mix
1 pkg dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
3 cups flour

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Set in a warm place and let rise until double in size. Punch down and shape into rolls. Dip into vegetable oil and let rise again. Put into greased muffin cups or arrange in a pan. Bake at 375 degrees until browned. Enjoy!

Old Fashion Pie Recipes - Impossible Coconut, Sugar, and Apple-Pecan

Love those old-fashion pies that were always at grandma's house! One of the best things about visiting my grandmother's old-fashion kitchen with it's huge old metal wood cookstove was the wonderful baked goods sitting on the warmer. Her biscuits and pies were unbeatable. If you want to revisit grandma's kitchen in your own house, here are three old recipes to get you going. Dora's Impossible Coconut Pie bakes into its' own crust. Mama Harvick's Sugar Pie is just the plain old sugar pie so famous in the olden days. And the Apple-Pecan Pie blends two of our favorites into one.

DORA'S IMPOSSIBLE COCONUT PIE

4 eggs

1/2 cup oleo

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 cups milk

1 cup coconut

1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place all the ingredients in a blender, one at a time. Blend until all mixed together. Pour mixture into a buttered 10-inch pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. When done, the crust will be on the bottom.

APPLE PECAN PIE

This recipe is from an old newspaper clipping.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pecans on a unbaked 9-inch pie shell.

Mix together:

1 cup sugar

1 tbsp flour

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

5 to 6 cups apples, peeled, sliced or chopped--your preference

Place mixture over pecans in the pie shell. Dot with 2 tablespoons of butter. Top with the following crumb mixture:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup butter

1/3 cup flour

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped pecans

Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes or until apples are tender.

MAMA HARVICK'S SUGAR PIE

I received this recipe from a dear friend. It is an old recipe in her family.

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 1/4 cups milk

3 tbsp flour

1 tsp vanilla

4 or 5 thin pats of butter

1 unbaked pie shell

Mix sugar and flour; add milk and vanilla. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake about 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Put pats of butter on top of liquid before putting in oven.

Enjoy!
