You made it to the end.  As Grandma Garnet would say, bless your heart.  As an Indie Author I depend on word of mouth.  If you liked this book, please pin it, post about it, review it, whatever you take part of in the online realm.  I hope you enjoy the recipes. 

 

Grandma Katie's Rolls

 

I make the dough in the breadmaker, squeeze them into balls, put them in greased 9x14s, cover with a towel and let them rise a while.  Bake at 325 for 12 min. or until golden brown.

The best thing about this recipe is it also makes awesome cinnamon rolls, scones, pretzels, even bread and pizza crust (I use less sugar for the last two).

 

2 tsp. yeast

½ cup sugar

½ cup warm water

1 cube butter, melted

1 cup milk (you can warm it first if you want)

2 eggs

2 tsp. Salt

5 cups flour (if it's sticking badly to the sides of the breadmaker, add a little more until if forms a ball as it mixes)

 

Ada's Maids of Honor

 

This recipe was curiously missing some key ingredients.  Looks like someone wasn't willing to let it out of her hands.

 

Great-Grandma Benson's Caramel Pie

 

This is a family favorite, but Ada wasn't kidding, it's a little tricky.  Might take a few tries, but it's worth it!

 

carmelize ¼ cup sugar (trickiest part)

add ¼ cup hot water.  Boil for 5 min. to dissolve carmelized sugar.

Combine, then add:

½ cup brown sugar

5 Tbsp. Flour

¼ tsp. Salt

stir until thick on medium heat

add:

4 Tbsp. Butter

2 egg yolks (before adding yolks, put a tiny bit of the hot mixture in with them, stir, add a little bit more, stir- that way your yolks wont become scrambled eggs when you add them)

¼ tsp vanilla

Acknowledgments:  This article helped me understand some of the issues that come with an old home.  I can still dream, though.
