Home on the Grange: No stove needed

Posted Jul 22 2016 in , , ,

Searching through the 1950 edition of the Pennsylvania State Grange Cook Book, I found a recipe for Marshmallow Pudding. I can’t say I’m going to try this one, but it certainly would be easy to throw together. It even tries to be healthy with a heapin’ helpin’ of fruit … but then there’s the cream. […]

Home on the Grange: Tasty Treat

Posted May 27 2016 in

I found somewhere a 1950 Pennsylvania State Grange Cookbook and the recipes are often a hoot, from odd ingredients to instructions like “put in hot oven.” Here’s a fun one for a Friday of a holiday weekend: Dream Cake 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup cake flour, 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar. Cream all ingredients thoroughly and […]
