I like it Snnowbell, but did it indicate how much Buttermilk or just add till it is well mixed? :christmasdinner:

[snowbell1]

Here's another Bishop as some are either a pinch of this so those i'm still not trying i keep them because they were hers and i'll say my grandma could bake and cook i still the smells and how wonderful it all taste.

[Bishop1954]

Thanks again snowbell and I will do my best to honor her skills, even to the point of a pinch here and there... :gelf:

[snowbell1]

Things i make i can tell about how much but,most i follow recipe maybe later on i will pick that trait up.

[Bishop1954]

Mmmmmmmmm... the wife is a big fan of Bread Pudding. I have never tried to make it, but perhaps I will put this recipe into action... :santa:

[snowbell1]

Love the old recipes.

My family did Christmas cookies maybe one year and it was fun to decorate them. We did a lot of healthy eating growing up, so the traditional cookie making/baking that people do around the holidays never became a tradition for us. I'm not a big cookie person anyway (give me cake any day!).

But I like this thread- I like seeing the old recipes. We have similar looking ones and I like to just look at them because they give me a nostalgic, cozy feeling.

I have a couple Christmas books that happen to have older recipes in them for Christmas dinner, etc and I recently decided I wanted to try some of them out and see if I would care for any of them. This has just reminded me.

Thanks for this thread snowbell :christmastree:

[Symone]

Wow, is that your gramma's handwriting? Love how original it is, on a piece of paper. Don't see that much these days.
Anyway, I don't think have a natural talent baking cookies, but I'll keep trying. Thanks for the recipe!

[snowbell1]

Some of my grandmothers are a bit hard to read and she has some that say a pinch of this or a handful of that so those i'm trying to work on and some are written clearly with actual measurements,she was an amazing baker and did canning and freezing i enjoyed being in the kitchen with her i have many cherished memories,the kitchen always smelled so good and boy did it all taste so good,i miss her but,i carry on as i'm a baker and i freeze things,i make just about everything from scratch.I got all her kitchen things pans,bake pans,utensils,graters,measure spoons the old metal ones,colanders metal as well.

[Symone]

I admire that! Inheritance is so important where I come from, and u definitely got it.
Oh yes, some kitchen things never go old.

[Bishop1954]

My Mom did a lot of baking as well. Unfortunately, I never did get her breads or cookie recipes. But I always look for something close and try them out... :singing:

[snowbell1]

Getting set to do my holiday baking and making my confections for myself and my son as with covid climbing here it's going to be a quiet cozy holiday.

I wish I had your abilities. While I do very well in the cooking department, most of my baking comes from prepared packages. And water, milk, eggs, butter... etc. Mix and bake. I enjoy doing that and make up some small tins for a few neighbors. :presents3:

[snowbell1]

Happy to share.

[Bishop1954]

Happy to share.

My wife is a "huge" fan of divinity. I'm going to try this one. Wish me luck... :tree1:

[snowbell1]

I enjoy making my own peanut brittle and my own hard tac candy.

[Bishop1954]

I recently got a recipe for a Yule long roll that I am going to try this year... :christmasdinner:

Snowbell, do you mind if I ask how many of these you get to during this time of year? Just wondering... :waving:

[snowbell1]

Understandable. Hopefully by next year things will be back to a more "normal" state and this one can be viewed as a pause to reflect and regroup... :my lord:
