If you don't hear from me for a couple of days it's cause I overdosed on eating too many doughnuts from the recipe that Ron W posted. They are great, real rich and good hot out of the fryer.

O-boy, I like donuts, I like em alot. I think I could do the policeman thing cause I hear that is one of the things you have to pass in the academy.

They are good, ain't they?  Glad you enjoy them.  I can almost taste them now.  We always said they were moorish - the more you ate, the more you wanted.   :D

I have the recipe posted on the Knowledge Base for anyone else.

Those doughnuts look like dandies. Grandmother made the best donuts I ever ate and her sister made the best buttermilk buiscuits. Even mom says so. Well, they was both cooks in restaurants too, so no fair. When grandparents were married,  grandmother baked pies and bread everyday for my grandfathers guide outfitiing company over an old wood fired cook stove. Those hunting sportsmen from south of the border came mostly to eat. No wonder the old soul said at aged 70, I'm done cookin.  :D :D :D

I love those old family recipies, of course if ya do and I explode eating too many I won't hold her responsible. :D

Next time I'm at my uncles' I'll check for the recipe. Grandmother died in 1997.  :-[ But, have you folks ever ate mollasses flavored donuts? Years ago everything was mollasses in this part of the country. I'll see what I can come up with. :D

My wife told me they used to put molasses on their donuts for Fastnact day.  That was one I never heard of.

In these parts we have molasses cookies, that are about the size of a saucer.  They're tasty and I haven't had one for a really long time.  

Another use is in shoe-fly pie.  Most of the ones made in this area are wet bottom pies.  Only the better PA Dutch cooks can make a really good shoe-fly pie.  

As a kid, I remember eating molasses on butter bread.  Some brands weren't too good, because of too much sulfur.  The kind we used was King's.   It had a lion on the can.

Then there's the joke about molasses.   :D

This is the only Molasses I remember

http://www.crosbys.com/

They have some recipes there also.

I looked in the cupboards here and I don't even have a jug of it here, except a molasses server which has some in it. Needs toss'n out since its prolly 3 years old hahahaha. Mother used to buy it by the gallon. I never use sugars much on french toast, breads or pancakes, prefer fruit jams with low sugar. :D :D

Molasses cookies up this way are called hermits, my great grandmother made them, had a recipe and past it down for generations. Mom always says she is going to make her grand mothers hermits. ;)

and Barbours had molasses at one time, visit here for a history

Stopped in on a friend early one morning and his wife said sit down and have a couple waffles. OK I say and wolfed down a few. They were real tasty.  She ask me if I knew what they were made of and I said pancake batter?  Now this might not sound like something you'd want to eat with syurp on, but I got to tell ya I didn't know the difference. They were the night before leftover mashed potatoes done up in a waffle iron. Hard to believe until you tried them.  Course people don't tell them things either till after ya ate it.

I had a chocolate waffle recipe. Its from the 'Company's Coming' Recipe book series. Escapes me now.

et al:
My mother must have bought about all of them recipe books mentioned above and I bet she never cooked 1 % of the recipies. :D :D :D I inherited some of the books when her and dad moved to their new home. She still buys them. ;) The only things I've cooked from them are these waffles, choc cake, frosting, and a fish recipe, its not very often that I cook waffles or cakes though. :D :D I mentioned to my mother I was making a cake from the recipe, and what does she do? Gives me a 'Betty Crocker' cake mix, I dunno why, she's never ate one of my cakes to know what it tastes like. LOL. They taste DanG good, I wouldn't make something that wasn't good. ;) I make pizza dough sometimes, but from my head with experimentation, secret. :D  :D

Tammy made Ron's grandma's donuts for Easter. Started them at 6 O'Clock Saturday evening. OOPS!  She was frying donuts at 2 AM! :D  They were great. Thing is, Tammy don't eat sugar and that recipe makes a LOT of donuts. The bus garage got donuts, the sawmill got donuts, the bank got donuts the mother-in-law got donuts, and I still stuffed myself!

Thanks for the recipie SD, collecting cookbooks is like collecting anything else. Ya don't use 99% of em but you still keep collecting.

Like any hobby it can get out of hand. :D

What that little stock pot..  ;D

It's kind of funny I ordered it out of a restaurant supply house we use. I needed one for canning and big feeds, so I wasn't just sure how big of one to order not being able to see em in person. This one is 60 quart, the one I almost ordered was 100 qt. Kind of glad I got the smaller one. :D

I was a short order cook for many years growing up, my mom ran and then owned a restaurant. Patty and I built one from scratch and ran it, I had a full time job at the time and she would open at 5:00AM and many days work until we closed at 9:00PM. I've never worked so hard to lose so much money. Cooking for pleasure is a lot more fun.
