Peach Tuther

August 5, 2018 Posted in Dessert No comments

When we’d ask what was in this, my mom would always say, “Oh, just this that and t’other.” So we called it Peach Tuther. She finally gave us the recipe before she died, and it’s still a family favorite.

Ingredients

1 29oz can cling peaches in heavy syrup
1 can bisquits
3 tbs sugar
2 tbs corn starch
1 tsp almond flavoring
1 stick butter
2½ cup water
9×13 inch baking pan

Instructions

Heat oven to 400. Butter the pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with bisquits. Drain peaches (keep liquid) and set aside. In saucepan over medium heat, add peach liquid plus enought water to make 2 cups. Add sugar and butter. Bring to a low boil. Dissolve corn starch in 1/2 cup water, then add to pan slowly and stir until thickened. Evenly place peaches over bisquits. Stir almond flavoring into sauce and pour over bisquits and peaches.

Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes.

  8. 12 corn taco shells (frozen kind)
  9. 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
  1. Brown hamburger with chopped onion. Drain well.
  2. Add green chili peppers, taco sauce, tomato sauce.
  3. Mix together cream of mushroom soup and milk.
  4. Heat until warm, then add to meat mixture.

Pancakes
Nowadays it's easy to whip this together from a mix. But sometimes it's nice to go back and do it from scratch. It gives you more control and you can tweak it to how your family likes it.

  3. 1 teaspoon sugar
  4. ½ egg beaten until light
  5. ¼ - ½ teaspoon salt
  6. ½ cup milk
  7. 1½ teaspoons melted shortening
Instructions
  1. Sift flour.
  2. Add baking powder, sugar and salt.
  3. Sift into a bowl.
  4. Beat until light
  5. Add milk and melted shortening.
  6. pour into sifted flour.
  7. Mix until flour is moistened.
  8. Heat skillet and grease lightly with fat.
  9. Pour batter into skillet.
  10. Bake until top is full of little air bubbles.

Notes
  1. Mom wrote, "½ recipe" on the top of the card. The writing is faded and the card shows signs of age, so this may have been what she used back when the family was still smaller. Since she and dad eventually had 4 kids, this recipe wouldn't have made enough. My guess is that she doubled or tripled it as the need arose.

Ingredients
  1. ¾ cup milk
  2. ¼ cup sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. ¼ cup vegetable oil
  5. 1 package active dry yeast
  6. ¼ cup warm water (105-115° F.)
  7. 1 egg, beaten
  8. 3 ¼ cups flour
  9. ¾ cup sugar
  10. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  11. vegetable oil for frying
  12. Confectioners’ sugar glaze
Instructions
  1. Scald milk; stir in ¼ cup sugar, salt and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in lukewarm milk mixture, egg and half the flour. Beat until smooth.
  2. Stir in enough additional flour to form a soft dough. On lightly floured board, knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
  4. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until dough is doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  5. Combine remaining ¾ cup sugar and cinnamon. Punch dough down. On lightly floured board, divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Roll each rectangle up tightly to form a 9-inch roll. Seal edges firmly.
  6. Cut each roll into nine equal pieces. Place on greased baking sheets, cut side up. Press down to flatten. Cover; let your Cinna-Swirls rise in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk about 30 minutes.
  7. Deep-fry in vegetable oil (375° F.) for 2-3 minutes or until brown on both sides. Drain on absorbent paper. While warm, dip in confectioners’ sugar glaze. Makes 18 swirls.
Notes
  1. Mom wrote: "Use a little more cinnamon than sugar. Very Good. Careful, it's very easy to get grease too hot." She tended to use shortening to fry things rather than cooking oil.
