Grandma Tuttles Mayonnaise Recipes

GRANDMA'S BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat dough into a 10x4-in. rectangle. Cut rectangle lengthwise in half; cut crosswise to make 10 squares., Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet; brush tops with egg. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Serve warm.

GRANDMA'S BUTTER NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter together with a fork. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until dough becomes stiff. Knead on a lightly floured surface or in the bowl for a few minutes to blend completely. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a sheet about 1/16 of an inch thick. Place each sheet onto a dry cloth and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes to partially dry.
• When the noodle sheets are somewhat dry, roll up one at a time into a loose spiral and cut into strips as wide as you want using a sharp knife. Spread out the noodles to dry for about 1 hour before cooking or storing in freezer containers. To use frozen noodles, thaw in the container before using.
• To cook the noodles, drop into rapidly boiling water or broth, and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix oats, pecans, almonds, and coconut flakes together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Combine vegetable oil, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until it begins to boil; remove from heat. Pour over oat mixture and fold together until dry ingredients are well coated. Spread granola onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Stir and continue to bake on the top rack until golden, about 5 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and let cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Toss with cranberries. Store in an airtight container.

GRANDMA'S NOODLES II

Steps:

• Combine egg, salt, milk. Add flour. (For thicker noodles add baking powder to flour before mixing.) Separate into two balls.
• Roll out dough, and let stand for 20 minutes.
• Cut into strips and spread to dry--dust with a little flour. Let dry for approximately 2 hours.
• Drop into hot soup--cook for about 10 minutes.

BIG BATCH OF GRANDMA'S BISCUITS WITH MOLASSES BUTTER

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Alternatively, combine the flour and chilled butter in a food processor and pulse to combine until it resembles coarse meal, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Form a well in the center of the flour and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to shape into a ball. (The dough will be slightly dry.)
• Dust a clean work surface with flour, coat your palms, and rub some on a rolling pin. Turn out the dough onto the work surface. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, folding it over onto itself each time. Pat the dough into a rectangle and then roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a 3-inch-wide glass in flour, and then cut out the biscuits. Alternatively, use a knife to cut the biscuits into 3-inch squares. Reshape the leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again, and cut out more biscuits. Repeat this process until the dough is gone.
• Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, brush the biscuits with the 2 tablespoons softened butter.
• For the butter: Stir or mash the butter and molasses or honey together to combine, leaving a few streaks of molasses visible.
• Serve the flavored butter with the warm biscuits.

MOCK MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place the cornstarch in a small saucepan, whisk in the cold water, and set the pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture is clear. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl.
• Whisk in the olive oil, vinegar, yogurt, mustard, and horseradish. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

GRANDMA TUTTLE'S BEACH RICE

Steps:

• Melt butter in 1.5 quart casserole dish.
• Mix in all other ingredients.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• I usually stir it after 20 or 30 minutes to mix up the onions and mushrooms, but it's not required.

GREAT GREAT GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON PUDDING

Steps:

• 2 quarts of milk poured over 1 quart of persimmons. (Remove seeds by running through a colander).
• Add 1 quart flour and 1+1/2 pints sugar, (mix together so flour won't lump), to the pulp and milk mixture.
• Mix together well: 1 teaspoon soda, 3 whole eggs (beaten), and chunk of butter (size of an egg).
• Mix and pour into a large crock or roaster and bake in a moderate oven '(350*F)', for 3 hours. Stir 'while baking' a couple of times.
• Serve with whipping cream.
• I had to add 'baking' to the ingredient soda as the Zaar program wouldn't accept just soda and '+' for 1+1/2 pints sugar as it looked like eleven halves in the directions.
• My mother added the 'mix together so flour won't lump' as the original recipe has the flour at the bottom of the recipe and doesn't tell how or when to add it. She also added the '350 degrees' and 'while baking' as the original recipe didn't have this information. She also had: chunk of butter the size of a walnut (or egg). As for the persimmons, I'm just guessing, she cut out the stem and skinned them before she put them through the colander to seed them?.
• I suppose you would want to preheat the oven too, as I believe this was originally made in a wood stove oven?.
• Not listed here is cinnamon and nutmeg as other recipes on Zaar have in them but I'm sure it would help this recipe. Maybe a poor farmer's wife didn't have these spices in 1850 Indiana?

GRANDMA'S MAYONNAISE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Mix all ingredients.
• Pour into round cake pan or muffin tin.
• Bake until golden brown.

GRANDMA'S "WESTERN STYLE PANCAKES"... AND/OR WAFFLES!

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add wet ingredients *and sugar*. (If you add sugar to the dry ingredients though, it's still good -- for some reason it seems better if it's added to the wet ones, though!).
• Add wet ingredients to the dry, and mix well (by hand).
• Pour into your waffle maker and follow the waffle maker directions, or pour approximately 1/4 cup onto a hot griddle (I use an electric griddle at approximately 350 degrees).
• When the top of the pancakes start to bubble and the bubbles start to pop, they are ready to flip. Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side has cooked and the pancakes are golden brown.
• Serve with whipped cream and strawberries or with butter and maple syrup --
• Enjoy! (Mmmmm!).
