Here’s another recipe called Heavenly Food, although the first was for a cake. This one suggests more of a bar cookie. It’s still a mystery.
Heavenly Food
1 cup dates
1 cup broken nuts
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 eggs
3 heaping teaspoons flour
Cut into squares when cold. Sprinkle with 4th sugar. ?? I am guessing this is a 1/4 cup sugar.
I made sour cream cookies many years ago and they were a drop cookie that was very soft. Not sure how these would turn out, but I’d bet they are good. I have seen other recipes that result in rolled cookies you could sprinkle with sugar or frost. The amount of flour added would dictate whether the dough is soft enough to drop or stiff enough to roll.
Sour Cream Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup lard or butter
1 cup sour cream
1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
Flavor to taste
Flour to make stiff
Ah, Sunday morning…a coffee and a doughnut. Mmmmm.
Whatever you do with your Sunday morning, let’s hope it has more direction(s) than this recipe!
Doughnuts
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 eggs
nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons lard or butter
I have never made doughnuts, but I enjoy them, is that enough? :-) It goes without saying that you will need heated oil or grease to make this. The instructions are quite vague, so if you make it, both “good luck” and “tell us how it went”!
Dropped Doughnuts
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg beaten separately
1/3 teaspoon salt
Grated rind of 1 lemon
1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
2 1/2 [cups] Gold Medal flour
1 heaping tsp baking powder
Hold tsp of batter close to fat & the doughnuts will come up in round balls
A drop cookie is a dough that is dropped from a spoon onto the baking sheet. These days, I use a scoop that looks like a mini ice cream scoop because it gives me a perfectly rounded ball of dough. But as I was learning to bake from my mother, we used two spoons – one scooped the dough from the bowl and the other scraped it off that spoon and onto the baking sheet. I don’t expect there is really a huge advantage of one over the other and is probably personal preference which way you drop your cookies.
