How to Make Old Fashion Dumplings That Remind You of Grandma's-Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Remember the good old days and big family dinners at grandma's house? One of the staples at my paternal grandmother's house was chicken and dumplings. It was just something expected when we went to Sunday dinner at grandma's. In going through my vintage recipe collection I came across these two dumpling recipes that reminded me of those long ago meals. I thought you might be interested in some old fashion dumpling recipes, too. Both of these recipes are from Indiana, one from an acquaintance and one from a favorite aunt.

Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

HOMEMADE DUMPLINGS

This recipe is from one of my late aunts.

2 cup sifted self-rising flour (or Bisquick)
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
3/4 cup sweet milk*

Cut shortening into the flour until it has the appearance of cornmeal. Put in the milk and work until real firm, then work some more. Roll real thin and cut.

Drop dumplings into boiling broth, with a few drops of yellow food coloring. Continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes then cover and turn off the heat. Let set about 15 minutes.

Note: This recipe may be made, rolled out and cut then laid on waxed paper and frozen for later use.

*Sweet milk is whole milk NOT sweetened condensed milk!

MISS MYRNA'S FLUFFY DUMPLINGS
Miss Myrna was from Southern Indiana.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into mixing bowl. Add oil to milk, then add all at once to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Drop by teaspoon into hot broth or knead on floured board and cut into squares before adding to the hot broth. After broth starts to boil again, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy!

Grandma's Kentucky Butter Cake Recipe

Grandma's Kentucky Butter Cake Recipe This is another fabulous recipe that was passed down to me by my grandmother. This Kentucky Butter Cake is a very moist cake that has a rich butter taste to it.

I enjoy making this recipe all year long and it's a family favorite. However, you do not want to substitute margarine for the butter. As an added bonus, I like to sift confectioner's sugar on top of my cake once it has completely cooled. Cake Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup butter, softened 2 cups granulated sugar 4 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and the baking soda; set aside. In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter with the granulated sugar. Blend in the 4 eggs, one at a time and beating well after each addition. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk with the vanilla extract. Stir this mixture into the creamed wet ingredients mixture. Slowly add the dry flour mixture into the creamed mixture, beating after each addition. Lightly spray a 10" round tube pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the baking pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until its done. Note: During the last 15 minutes of baking time for your cake, prepare the butter sauce. Butter Sauce Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon In a 2 quart sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water and butter over low heat. Simmer for 1 minute or until butter has melted; do not boil the sauce. Stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon, remove from the heat. Once you remove the cake from the oven, prick the top with a large fork to make holes. Pour the hot butter sauce over the top of your cake. Let it completely cool before removing it from the tube pan. If desired, you can sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top of it, right before serving.
