GRANNY'S RECIPES
Okay I've got a slew of recipes ya'al might like so I'll add them all here and hope ya'al enjoy 'em...
FIRST up is....
FRIED BREAD
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
enough water to make a slightly thick dough/batter (aproximately 1 to 1 and a quarter cup of water) ...correct consistency is when you scoop up a spoonful it will slowly drool off the spoon--to where you have to slid your finger across the spoon to scrape off the dough/batter)
In a deep fryer (temp the same for French fries--medium high) drop into hot grease by spoonful (coffeespoon or soupspoon)..they will float to the top as they cook...allow to cook until golden on all sides they will be slightly crisp.
For a dessert type Fried Bread add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla ...following cooking instructions above...while hot roll in powder sugar or make a powder sugar glaze and drizzle over cooked bread balls.

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
Yummmmy! 
They are a bit different than our New Mexico type, called Sopapillas as they add a bit of shortening to the ingredients...
Sopapillas recipe
2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening
Oil for deep frying
Sift dry ingredients together in bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add 1/2 cup warm water gradually, stirring with fork. Dough will be crumbly. Turn onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Divide in half. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut into 3" squares. Fry, several at a time, in deep fat at 400 degrees for 30 seconds on each side. Yield: 40 sopapillas.
And besides serving them with honey for desert, here they often "stuff" them with ground beef, cheese, chilies and spices and serve as a main dish
But the Native Americans have an
INDIAN FRY BREAD...
ga-do di-gv-tsa-la-nv-hi a-yv-wi-ya
* 3 cups flour
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup warm water
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Add warm water in small amounts and knead dough until soft but not sticky. Adjust flour or water as needed. Cover bowl and let stand about 15 minutes.
Pull off large egg-sized balls of dough and roll out into fairly thin rounds. Fry rounds in hot oil until bubbles appear on the dough, turn over and fry on the other side until golden.
Serve hot. Try brushing on honey, or making into an Indian Taco.
Thank you so much for sharing....I would never have guessed to add the sugar and vanilla TO the batter, then roll in powdered sugar ....that sounds even better!!
:bigsmile:

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
Queeny, if you add Bacon Grease (about 2-3 tablespoons worth) to your Indian Fried Bread and just barely coat the bottom of a frying pan with oil you'd have the same recipe I use for Tortillas....Roll 'em out real thin then fry 'em for about 10-15 seconds on a medium high heat on each side (if that browns them too much try 5-8 seconds per side) then place between folds of a kitchen towel to keep warm.

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
another easy recipe...
ALFREDO SAUCE
(makes aproximately 1 cup takes aproximately 5-7 minutes to make)
2 Tablespoons Butter (or margerine)
in sauce pan melt butter till bubbly
in a small container mix
2 Tablespoons Flour (AP) or for thinner sauce use only 1 TBLSP of flour
a dash of Salt
a dash of Pepper
Garlic Powder to Taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon)
Stir into melted butter then gradually (stirring constantly) add
1 Cup Milk
Over Medium high to high heat stir until sauce begins to thicken..
ADD;
1 Tablespoon Parsley flakes
1/3 cup Parmesano Cheese
Taste and if you want it more GARLICLY this is when you add it..
Pour over your favorite pasta or Deep Fry some batter dipped Chicken filets and pour sauce over filets....You can also boil some fresh Shrimp and add to the Sauce during the last additions then spoon over pasta.
another quick and easy recipe is
CHICKEN AND RICE
(I prefer using Filets instead of pieces with the bone still in)
This recipe takes exactly 5 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes (with the bone in it takes 1 and a half hours) to cook and only one pan and one bowl to clean...
1: In a covered baking dish (at least an 8" square pan---you can also use aluminum foil if you don't have a lid), layer bottom with bacon (uncooked).
2: 1 cup uncooked Rice is then poured over Bacon then a half cup of Water is poured over rice (for each 1 cup of rice use a half cup of water--ie..2 cups Rice and 1 cup of Water)
3: Place meaty pieces of Chicken (or filets) on top of Rice and season to taste--*Salt,Pepper and/or Garlic Powder
4: Next pour 2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup** over chicken. Sprinkle top with 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon Oregano***. Then sprinkle top with Paprika.
5: Bake, covered, at 350 for 45 minutes (for filet pieces of chicken) or 1 and 1/2 hours (for chicken pieces with bone still in)...NO PEEKING...let stand for 5 minutes -- serves 4-6 people.
* Soup may be too salty so you might want to OMIT the salt or add very little salt.
** Substitute one or both cans of soup with either Cream of Celery or Cream of Mushroom. You can also blend 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese in with the soup (where the bowl comes in) before pouring over chicken.
*** You can also substitute the Oregano for Basil, Rosemary, Bay Leaf (crushed) or Italian Seasoning.
Absolutely love this and its so easy to make..no muss no fuss...

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
On the Alfredo sauce you can omit the garlic, parsley and Pamensano Cheese..then brown some sausage stir into the gravy (white sauce) and ladle over some fresh baked biscuits...or just use the White sauce/gravy and ladle over any favorite dish you like gravy on...
White Sauce/Gravy
2 Tblsp butter
2 Tblsp AP Flour
salt and pepper
1 Cup Milk
completely lump proof gravy and delicious....

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
Queeny, I just tried your Indian Fried Bread recipe (but added just a touch more water for the right consistancy for my recipe) I came up with fried bread balls that had some very unusal shapes (some actually had me giggling) and even more unusual when I added the sugar and vanilla....
The crust is a lot more crispier...and as for the 'Sweet' bread ball it almost came out like Funnel Cake and really took some weird shapes..and by rolling in powder sugar gives it a doughnutty taste...(inside a little bit lighter than my original recipe)...
Thanks..I like your recipe and will use it again...

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
the below is a heavenly dessert that I'm sure will please everyone at the table....
BLUEBERRY ANGEL DESSERT
Ingredients:
1 package (8oz) cream cheese-softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 carton (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 prepared Angel Food Cake (14 oz) cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cans (21 oz each) BlueBerry Pie Filling
In a large mixing bow, beat the cream cheese and sugar; fold in whipped topping and cake cubes. Spread evenly into an ungreased 13-in X 9-in X 2-in dish; top with pie filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Yield; 12-15 servings
I have not tried this with any other fruit pie filling...but I imagine you can use any flavor pie filling...Hubby loves Blueberries so I haven't experimented yet.

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
Becky, Queeny...this recipe does not even taste like it has any 'Liverwurst' in it...When my Dad tricked me into eating it I had always turned my nose up to the very idea of 'LIVER'...but since has truely turned to love the stuff...
And this recipe for the dip..if I had not watched hubby making it...I would not have known the liverwurst was in it.
He originally made the recipe using mayo but since we ate all that up last night..he made another batch today and this time used the Sourcream and it was even better than yesterday's

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
That's why I came up with the Alfredo recipes...(I've had to really hunt for one that is fool proof--lump-free)
I also like the White Clam Sauce (basically I use the Progresso's brand because making it from scratch would be unreal)

Re: GRANNY'S RECIPES
I've tried the Bertolli's Alfredo Sauce and I have to agree it's pretty good...but I've grown used to making my own since I found the recipe that I've already posted...I've got another Alfredo recipe too but it is really rich in flavor and a bit expensive so I only make that one once in a while...(usually when I feel in the mood to go 'FRESH')...
