PA Dutch Recipes & Designs

For some reason, whenever I think of the Amish, or Pennsylvania Dutch country, I imagine it in autumn: harvesting, quilts hanging on the line, making apple butter, and all sorts of good things. For Vintage Thingies Thursday this week, I have some vintage recipe cards in the PA Dutch theme that was very popular in the early 1960s. I think they actually came out of a cook book, but all I have are these pages glued on cardboard. They have great pictures, and some interesting recipes.I have not had corn pudding since making it with a group of third graders when we studied the First Thanksgiving almost 20 years ago; it was pretty good. What I found interesting on this is the recipe for corn "oysters". I am not an oyster fan, so I didn't look at it carefully until writing this post, but it doesn't actually include oysters. I think this is something I could make and would eat.My dad was a cook in the army, and when we were growing up he made a yummy hot breakfast every Saturday and Sunday. One winter he decided to try doughnuts. They were really good, especially because they were warm, but it was a lot of work and there was a big mess. I think we only had them once after that...maybe if we'd gotten him a Fry Daddy?OK, who doesn't love a good pot pie, especially on a cold and rainy or snow night? I grew up with individual ones, but my sister makes an awesome big one like in this picture. I think I'd like tea with mine, instead of milk, to keep up that cozy feeling.
I have a few more of these that I will share in the future. I hope you've copied these to your hard drive so you can try some of them out.
