- We are having so much fun cooking out of antique cookbooks and using antique kitchen tools. Today we're making cream of tomato soup from Betty's cookbook and some Shoofly Pie from the Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook. Dan bought me the most fantastic old rolling pin that works like a dream!

Oh my goodness does that Shorthand recipe bring back memories of high school. I took shorthand for one year and don’t remember any of it. That was 47 years ago. What a treasure you have with your cookbooks.
I took shorthand for one year also! I too don’t remember any of it! 😉
Same here!
I did also. Graduated in 1982. All I remember is the symbol for and.
I’ll take that beautiful snow over our Chicago ice storms any day. Trees down, no power, no water, heat for days.
Will you talk more about Martha? How she works and temp control and the best wood. The difference between her and a regular oven as far as baking and cooking in general.
Great job on your videos.
I also had shorthand available to take in High School, so as home economics was not available in my high school, I took ALL of the office classes available...I hated shorthand, and can't read it at all! Lol...I am truly enjoying the recipes that you are recreating and I collect antique cookbooks and recipes! Also, on a side note, I have found that rinsing onions just prior to chopping helps remove the gas that is released while chopping....also the sweeer the onion, the less the gas in the onion! 😉...I truly enjoy your channel and look forward to EVERY vlog!! Sending love from Southern California!
That is amazing that your viewer did this for you,I love that🐝🐝🐝🐝
I’m absolutely GIDDY that you’re cooking from a PA Dutch cookbook! I grew up & live in PA Dutch-Amish country! Raised on these recipes. Love shoo fly pie, but not wet bottom as much. I like the cake type center the whole way thru. I shop at an bulk Amish store for all my flours, sugars, dry goods & am Blessed to have an Amish farm-greenhouse, produce stand & small market close by to pick up my plants & produce I don’t have space to grow. Can’t wait til you’re making chicken gravy over waffles with mashed potatoes & Amish baked corn!
You can use a wire strainer for sifting! Just gently tap it against your hand!
I graduated in 1978 and took a semester of Office Essentials. Shorthand was taught, as well as filing, diction, Comptometer usage, typing, how to fill out time cards, and employment records. Also how to dress professionally for not only job interviews, but also for varying types of employments!! Guess schools back then were really trying to prepare youth to be a responsible hard working adult; instead of what seems to be the dumbing down of society now!
I also remember in Home Ec, seeing and using some of the old recipe books! Our teacher, Miss Friday, would bring them in and allow us to occasionally make a few things! It was wonderful!!
So thankful for growing up when I did! Also thankful for homeschooling parents like yourself and myself back in the day!!
Oh yes shorthand. I am 68, took shorthand in the 70’s. Typewriters that were manual and electric came out in the later 70’s. Going to school learning shorthand and typing was a big deal in those days!! Good times!!
I grew up in the 1950s in north west New Jersey, just a short ride from a small Amish (Pennsylvania Dutch) community. On many weekends, my family would take a drive to the Delaware Water Gap area to visit my great grandparents. We often had dinner with the Amish. They did not have restaurants and served dinner in their own homes, family style at one great table. My brother and I would play on the farm with the Amish children while my parents, grand and great grandparents visited with the adults. Shoe fly pie was my favorite. It was sold homemade by the Amish in most local grocery stores in the 50s.
The cat playing in the curtain is the BEST!!!!
I graduated high school in 1964 and did take shorthand during my senior year - it was advised as all secretaries needed it to write down any letter that our 'boss' would dictate so we could type it on a typewriter. No one ever considered that some of us would want to go to college and be a professional whatever. Although I don't do tic-tock nor can I understand texting-shortened words, I do remember typewriters and enjoy my grandson (7 yo) explaining certain technology to me. When I first saw your 'recipe' I thought it looked like shorthand but couldn't remember it well enough to read it. So glad you found out and congrats to the commenter and her teacher for remembering this forgotten talent. I do remember about 30 years ago when I asked to use the typewriter to complete a form at the courthouse - the girl behind the counter asked "what is that?" - I knew I was old then and now at 77, I feel like recently discovered mastodon. LOL Hey, say Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers 5 times very fast. Hey, it's NOT jarring to be running low on jars - it is unjarring! The soup and pie looked very good and I enjoyed today's video so much! Love gingersnaps, brown sugar but do not enjoy molasses - weird. Molasses is what makes my yummy favorites taste good but straight up, just can't take it.
Ebay has a bunch of these glass rolling pins for anyone who wants to give it a try. My father used to talk about shoofly pie that his mother used to make and then he would sing the shoo fly don't bother me, song 🙂
👋👋waving back to Dan😸 Blessings
*For those curious or confused, White Sauce is another name for basic White Gravy... For gravy, use less milk*
Thanks again for the videos. Re measuring lard or shortening: TIP: One of the very very best reasons to have a kitchen scale for measuring ingredients is to be able to scoop out and weigh lard! No cleaning of a cup, no leaving lard in a measuring cup. I am 73 and fairly new to using a scale, but this is the BEST! I put a small piece of wax paper on the scale. Initially, I had to use a measuring cup to get the correct weight. Then, I just noted it in my recipe. Now, I just scoop it out onto the wax paper on the scale until the correct amount is reached, then toss it into my other ingredients, and throw away the wax paper. No cleanup! Easy-Peasey! I also keep the weights for the different measures on my fridge for fast reference.
We have snow here today, too--about 30 miles northeast of Seattle. Big, wet flakes. Above freezing, so no ice. Also, your comments about spicy onion spray reminded me that years ago, we lived in Presidio, TX for a year, while Hubby manufactured across the border MX. Presidio is an onion capital, and boy those onions were good! I spent the summer eating cucumber and onion sandwiches on bread with only butter. Wow. Were they ever spicy and sooooo yummy! Odd, huh? But I couldn't stop. I now compare those onions to what I get from the grocery store--they were definitely soooo much better! And hot! Yum!
Yum shoe fly pie!!
The rolling pin…Dan such a great guy. You fill it with ice. My grandmother made shoe fly pie.. I think you excel at everything in the kitchen. That is the way a very natural cooks, cooks.🌟. I use cauliflower boiled in chicken broth mixed in a blender to thicken soups.
Pastry Chefs use marble rolling pins.
Marble chills very well in the fridge & stays cold longer....not as breakable as glass. 😉
Great minds think alike! Grilled cheese sandwiches and Tomato soup is the best combo!
My grandmother had a glass rolling pin and she didn't like it because in a warm room and especially during summertime (without A/C) it starts to "sweat" and then everything sticks. She loved her wood rolling pin and used it endlessly, I inherited it and I hope one of my children will get it after me.
I have a marble rolling pin I got in the 80's as a wedding gift. Love the weight of it!
Dan has wicked good bread-buttering skills.
When i was a little girl we went to my uncle Lemmies farm. The grownups helped with the harvest a d chicken butchering and the kids played. One of the things we were told was to stay out of the molasses barrel. It was a huge open steel drum and to get to the molasses you had to push the dead flies to the side and oh how wonderful that molasses tasted, such a naughty stolen treat. The molasses was put on the cows feed to help with milk production since it was a dairy farm. I have since found that the molasses graded "fancy" is better for baking and the blackstrap holds up better in baked bean recipes but either one brings back great memories. I can't wait to try this pie.
Totally distracted by the kitten!!!❤
I grew up with shoofly pie but chess is my favorite of the two. Both good. Southern gal here 😂
My husband has heard of it. He says its so good you have to shue the flies off it!
The organisation I work for still use shorthand. Its a requirement for the Secretaries to all use it for dictation. Oh... BTW the organisation I work for is very old... established in the early 1600's and reformed in the 1800's .... to the organisation it is today. Its sad that we have lost these skills as they may be needed again one day. Great video, Chelsea. I'm in love with your glass rolling pin. 😁🥰💖💝
When you said that you were making a Shoo-Fly Pie, my Southern heart beat faster with joy! I'm so glad that you liked it. And do try it with coffee, it changes *everything* when it comes to this pie.
I see I am 3 days behind in my viewing of your video. I had to take shorthand as a senior year elective in High School in 1971 in New York City. NEVER used it!! Typing elective class I’m still using today on my computer keyboard!! I still use my mom’s 1942 Good Housekeeping cookbook. She was married in 1937 and died in 1979 when I was only 25. It’s so precious to me. Especially her notes. So I understand completely how you feel and the emotions that we get from these lovely souls who lived and cooked before us and left a cherished legacy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I read in an article only a few days ago that Crisco was developed in the mid 1800’s by William Proctor , a candle maker and James Gamble , a soap maker, as a substitute for lard in soap making and tallow substitute in candle making because the butchers set high prices that made producing soap and candles far too expensive for average consumers……then much later because it was cheap it became a butter substitute in baking etc ….The things we learn online ..lol.
Aww, Miss Maple is such s loving dog.
We need some snow in Eastern Tennessee.
The glass rolling pin reminds me of the Tupperware rolling pins that you fill with ice/water. Haven't used one since the 70's or 80's; but I do use iced water in my pie crust recipe, which works beautifully!
This is my Dad's favorite pie. And yes we grew up in Pennsylvania.
Chelsea, a tip for your wonderful rolling pin…if you lay a folded kitchen or tea towel on your counter and place your rolling pin on it when you are not using it between steps, it will keep if safer from rolling off the the counter/ table.💝
I grew up in Lancaster county PA. PA Dutch cooking is so comforting. I make a homemade chicken pot pie and shoe fly pie. I still live in PA but about 30 minutes north of Lancaster. Still visit there a lot in the summer.
I love pie! 🥧🥰❤️✅
There is a song recorded by Dinah Shore called Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy. My Grandma used to sing it to us kids. (I’m 66) you can google it and listen if you want. She sang it a lot, but never made the pie. Fun memory.
I was thinking the same thing about my depletion of canning jars in my pantry, but I remind myself that it is nearly March, so I actually don't need to worry. So very soon we will begin our canning products from our gardens.
Cute little kitten in the background playing behind the curtain lol!
I graduated high school in 1988 and I regret not taking shorthand. It was still being taught in middle America at that time, at least as far as I know. You are right. It is a lost art.
Shoe-Fly Pie, my mother's favorite!!
Im a good old southern girl and when we make grilled cheese sandwiches we use hellmans mayo instead of butter. It make the bread nice and crispy and has a great crunch instead of soggy bread. Give it a try. Love your show. Martha is impressive.
Shorthand used to be in doctors and nurses my husband and later on in years they stop it. He was using short of hand when he was in the military 🎖️🪖. He was the last number of the last draft. He served over in Korea. I love watching your cook it's basic country cooking 🍳🔪. My husband always says that cook like his grandma that country food comfort
I am from Pennsylvania and I have it many times. Love Shoofly Pie!
You need to name the electric stove too! My suggestion is "Carmen" after the celebrity Carmen Electra 😁
Your last program featuring antique cook books touched my heart. I have several myself and really enjoy cooking from them. Have your husband search for a Kellogg wooden spoon. As that is what my Mama and Grandmama stirred their recipes with in huge clay or earthen bowls. They never had electric mixers. Yet the food was wonderful! My Grandmama had a wood burning stove with a water reservoir that heated the old house in the cold winters. As well as cooked and baked the food. Looking forward to your next video.
I love shoofly pie. The cookbook is a treasure. Definitely a Mennonite or Amish cookbook.
If you tuck under the edges of the pie crust instead of cutting it with a knife it will be thick enough to flute the pie crust. No waste! Love watching you cook.
I have a rolling pin I got from Tupperware many years ago. It is made fro Tupperwear material and you open it and put the cold water into.
Shoo-fly pie and Apple Pan Dowdy
Shoofly pie is my favorite by far. (Philadelphia born and raised)
I love that short hand recipe! When I was a kid, my grandmother would make this every summer (with strawberries and without), and serve it hot over vanilla bean ice cream! Yummmm! I make it now, as my grandmother turns 96 in a couple months, and she has lost most of her eye sight.
Thanks for sharing👍🌸👍🌸👍🌸
I like the shelf above your electric stove, noticed it a few or more videos back.
been collecting old cookbooks for over 45 years- my favorites are the cookbooks that were used as fund raising for schools, churches, hospitals and woman's clubs- all donated recipes with the person's name- the older ones use Mrs John Smith instead of Jane Smith- as the name on the donated recipe= my favorite is from Navy Wives 1941- and the recipes were all hand written, not typed- I got the best salad dressing from that book- I also bought over 300 index card recipes from the same woman's estate- all hand written and they were in an old library card draw (wish they still had the old cabinet it went to) the recipes were from the 1940's to the late 1970's she dated them all and wrote where she got the recipe from = just love finding wonderful books- love to just sit and read them and enjoy all the notes the original owners wrote
I was talking to my Mennonite friend about your recipe for shoofly pie and she said if you use fancy molasses it isn’t as strong. They all like their shoofly pie. Love that your taking us back in time for these recipes
Moscow pa here....been eating shoefly pie and cake my entire life. Valley Forge national park serves shoefly cake!
Love the kitty in the curtain!
From Pennsylvania, love shoofly pie and what's funny is my grandmother's name was Betty.
Hi, as soon as I heard you say "Shoo Fly Pie" I immediately remembered part of the hit song called "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" that I use to sing as a young girl. It was a hit song in the U. S. by Dinah Shore. I never knew what all the words meant until your video. Oh my gosh, I love that your husband bought those wonderful old cookbooks for you, what a treasure. God bless!
I LOVE shoefly pie! My preacher's wife used to make and bring to Sunday school. Thanks for sharing!
My husband was raised Mennonite and Shofly pie is very common amongst Mennonite although I’ve never made it must give it a try.
Using a whisk to stir the flour is how I “sift” dry ingredients together ❤
I’m from south Texas. I heard my great grandmother and grandmother talk about about Shoofly pie all my life but I don’t remember ever eating one.
Very Nice video and you have a lots of snow
Good morning!!! So happy to see you today!!! ❤️
That pie is a very sweet pie
If you have ever had buttermilk pie or any custard pie that is the consistency but its good for you because of the blackstrap molasses. Make some molasses taffy
I live on Vancouver Island, BC. I remember my mom making making shoe fly pie when I was a kid (60's/70's)
That’s the ideal rolling pin for the piecrust to keep the butter cool
I have never had this pie but my mother, who is 80, said they had it growing up as a special treat. Her family grew up very poor and the ingredients were expensive for them so they only got it on special occasions.
Shoe Fly Pie is my all time favorite. the wet bottom is actually the best. I have had both and I prefer the wet bottom. When I make it I make the wet bottom. It's the very best.
Hi Chelsea, you can use a whisk instead of a sieve to aerate flour
My mom from Pennsylvania. We love shoefly pie. I love molasses cookies too.
I have lived in Lancaster PA, shoofly pie is an acquired taste. Shows up at every party, church lunches etc..very sweet.
I took shorthand in grade 11, I am pretty sure that was 1981 for me. The world sure has changed! Loved the video 🥰
My grandmother didn’t have a glass rolling pin, she used a wine bottle. Shoofly cake is good also. Great for breakfast. If you would like recipe, I will forward it to you. Be safe.
Hi Chelsea Its Shay from Norwich, Ontario. I have the same rolling pin as you, which was my moms. I never knew how old it was, good to know. I use my all the time. Happy cooking and baking.
I have that same glass rolling pin. Came from my maternal grandmother. She was born in 1883 in Utah & raised in Southern Arizona USA. I have never used it. Doesn't have any paperwork with it.
Toledo Ohio was known as the Glass City because of Owens Corning being there, also Lancaster County is Pennsylvania it’s a Dutch German area hence the name Hoeflich.
My family is of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry and sho fly pie is family favorite. You will love it!
My absolute favorite, grilled cheese and tomato soup, ate it all the time when I was a child, love it, love it, love it
Having fun watching you cook from history. Looking forward to more similar content. :)
Shoo Fly Pie is a favorite of ours. Every time we visit Lancaster, County PA Amish Country we bring some home. I absolutely love the rolling pin.
I remember when I was a kid..maybe 8 or so(I'm 48) my mom bought a shoo fly pie. I didn't eat any but I remember it smelled gross to me. The reason my mom liked that was because she grew up eating it. My Nana was born in 1906 in Lancaster County. She grew up in York PA. I always loved hearing her stories from when she was a child.
I knew that recipe was Gregg shorthand. I could still pick out some words even though it's been over 40 years since I learned it. Thanks for the memory!
My shorthand skills were not good! I took class in 1974. When I went to college I switched to speed writing as a class so much easier!
Loved the trip down memory lane ~ shorthand, glass rolling pin, shoo fly pie ❤️ And the kitten playing in the curtain was such fun!
You can put ice water in the pin to chill your dough my aunt worked at owen illinois glass plant for years
Live in penn. Buy one every month at market. Have a great day.
I live in Lancaster county PA and shoofly pie is served in all our family style restaurants. Hundreds are sold here. I prefer the wet bottom pies. I worked at a bakery and made many pies. It is good served warmed in the microwave. Good for breakfast too. And good with vanilla ice cream. It’s just GOOD! PA DUTCH COUNTRY 😊
Yes, I have had this pie. It's from our southern states in the US. Another old time pie to try is chess pie. It may be in one of your cookbooks. Simple recipes using what was available.
Thanks for sharing ! I agree tomato soup and grilled cheese are delicious and especially on a beautiful snowy day.
You could try storing the rolling pin in your Refrigerator. Hope from Cambridge Maryland Just checking in. I've been enjoying your channel and watching you make your recipes. Well done
I remember glass rolling pins! My Grandmother had one and she would fill with ice. This is a blast from the past. Same with shorthand. I forgot about shorthand. I learned it in school. Used it a couple years is all. What fun video. Thanks Chelsea! So fun 😊
Shoofly Pie is very popular here in SC, as it was in GA. It is so sweet, so a little bit goes a long ways.
Have fun
Its Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish and great! I have lived in Pennsylvania most of my life. Lancaster is about 40 minutes from me.
Enjoy all those recipes!!
I love Shoofly pie! I’m in Northern Michigan. You can omit a sifter but using a whisk, it gets the lumps out. We just had tomato soup and grill cheese on my first sourdough bread ever, last night!
I live in Pa about an hour and half from Lancaster. My grandma has made shoo fly pie and she also has a glass rolling pin that is filled with sand.
Love combination of tomato soup and grilled cheese. Love the cookbooks also.
I live in Pennsylvania. Shoofly pie is very good. This was one of my Dad's favorite!
Growing up in Pennsylvania, shoofly pie was a special favorite. My mom always made it with half lard and half crisco, butter would be too rich .. half the crumb mixture would be put in the crust, then the molasses, then topped with the rest of the crumbs. This gave an almost cake like texture when baked.
and oftentimes, mom would add raisins
