    Butter Pecan Turtle Bars (from an Amish cookbook)

    For the crust:
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup butter

    Mix crust well and pat into a 9X13 pan.

    For filling:

    Sprinkle 1 cup of pecans over the crust.  Pour 1 can sweetened condensed milk over the nuts.  Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 18-22 minutes.  Take out of oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips, toffee bits or coconut.

    I have never made this recipe but it looks easy.  If I was making it I would soften the butter before adding the brown sugar and flour.  I think I might use milk chocolate chips and some toffee bits too.  If you try it let me know how it turns out.

    Funny Cake

    This is a very, very old recipe.  It is quick, easy and delicious.
     

    Sift the following ingredients together into an ungreased 8X2 pan.

    • 1 & 1/2 cups of flour
    • 1/4 cup of cocoa
    • 1teaspoon soda
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt

    Make 3 holes (wells) in the dry mixture.  Into first hole put 1 teaspoon white vinegar.  In the second hole put 1 teaspoon vanilla.  In the 3rd hole put 1/3 cup of oil.  Over the entire pan, gradually pour 1 cup of water while you are mixing (not beating) the mixture: lumps are OK.  Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 35 minutes.  Dust powdered sugar over the hot cake.

    Easter Sunday

    Hello family and friends.  I hope you had a glorious Easter Sunday.  I enjoyed beautiful weather and bright sunshine.  My neighbors took me to the big city for a splendid buffet.  I ate too much of course...
