Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for all the great pings. I’ve been very busy doing “stuff” and getting my hair trimmed up and curled. Now I’m set for another couple of months. ;)
I’m sorry it took so long to post your recipes, Yorkie, but here they are. ;) Enjoy!
EASY SUGAR COOKIES
1 C powdered sugar 1 C sugar
1 C butter 1 C veggie oil
2 eggs/beaten 1 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 C flour 1 tsp soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
Cream sugars, butter and oil together until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Sift flour, salt, soda and cream of tartar together. Add dry ingreds. to creamed mixture, blending well.
Shape dough into small balls; place on ungreased cookie sheet. (Depending on the softness of the dough, I sometimes put it in the fridge for awhile before this step.
Flatten balls with sugar coated flat-bottomed glass. ( I wet the bottom of the glass with a small amount of water for the first pass, then dip it into a small bowl of sugar)
Bake in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 10 mins or just till edges start to brown.
I have dark cookie sheets, so I use a 350 degree oven instead.

GRAPE-NUT CUSTARD
4 eggs 4 C milk
3/4 C grapenuts 3/4 C sugar
cereal
1/2 tsp vanilla
Beat eggs until thick and lemony; (important) beat in milk, cereal nuggets, sugar and vanilla.
Pour into a buttered baking dish.
I usually sprinkle the top with a bit of Cinnamon.
(My mother made this, but not this recipe, and she gave me a hint....About ten mins into cooking, stir to disturb nuts on the bottom, so they don’t settle too much.)
Bake at 325 degree oven until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
(Also...I usually make a bigger batch, and use 6 eggs, 6 C milk...etc. Only the best restaurants on the east coast serve Grape-nut custard. So it seems many people in the rest of the country don’t know what it is.)
I am so happy about “Sarah”. What a woman!
I do hope they fix FR soooooon!
I’m among those who never heard of grape-nuts custard. but since grape-nuts is my standard breakfast staple, I think I’ll give it a shot. :)
