Cold Weather Warm Kitchens

This time of year makes me think of warm kitchens with the cold weather we have had! I love to bake and cook when it is cold. The closed up house always smells so good!
I made cinnamon rolls yesterday that, I had not made in ages. One of my all time favorites! AND you can harldy buy a REAL Home Made cinnamon roll anymore!
The following photo is Dagmar in the kitchen in the old house. You can e. mail me memories and I will glad add them to the post!




This old range is still in the basement of the farm house and I use it when I need an extra oven or cook top! (AS well as the electric water heater out of the old house that NOBODY has ever seen one like it or can believe it still works!)
This is an old recipe for Grahm Cracker pudding, that sound interesting!


The bottom line reads: Beat egg whites, whip cup cream & fold in. I assume that you would use hte 2 egg whites left over from the egg yolks in the recipe, as they would not have been wasteful!



Anne said this recipe sounds like Graham Cracker Cream Pie. A favorite of my grandfather's. It was served at Kings on 40th and South.


I'm also going to include the new recipe for the cinnamon rolls I made yesterday. They turned out very nice.

QUICK CINNAMON ROLLS

4-4 1/2 C flour
2 pkgs yeast
3 Tblsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 teas soda
1/2 C margerine (I used butter)
1/2 C water
1 1/4 C buttermilk (or use 1 1/4 C milk and add 2 Tblsp lemon juice)
In large bowl combine 1 1/2 C of the flour flour, yeast, sugar, salt and soda and miss well.
In a saucepan, heat the water, buttermilk and margerine of butter until warm.
Add to flour mixure. Blend at low speed on mixer until moistened, then at medium speed for 3 minutes.
By hand stir in enough flour to make firm dough.
Knead on floured board until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl snd let rise in warm plac euntil double. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Spead with melted margerine and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (I also put on nuts). Roll and cut into slices.
Place in greased 9 X 13 pan and let stand until almost double. Bake at 375F for 20-25 min. Frost with a glaze.
I also made part of the rolls with a peanut butter, confectioners sugar, cinnamon spread on the rolled out dough (reminded me of the old peanut butter rolls you could ge years ago!)
