Me too, HEY Shiny, how's tricks? I ready thought it was some kinda of Ranch dressing, never heard of this ,but just from your response, I'm thinking I'm going to have to make it.😊
Y’all are so young! Ranch dressing wasn’t sold in bottles until the mid 1980s. In the 70s it was a packet of seasoning that you would mix with buttermilk at home. I remember the ads where people acted all surprised at liking something with buttermilk in it.
Fun fact: in 1970s Illinois, the preferred topping for pizza was FRENCH dressing-Catalina was the best! When I saw “ranch pudding,” my first thought was “Like on a cattle farm?” That’s how old I am. 😂 _Then_ I thought of the dressing.
Growing up in the 50's, 60's....Bisquick was a staple in my aunt's cooking and baking. I've used it myself. Lots of happy family memories. How did we exist without Betty Crocker.❤😊
This episode made me happy cry. My grandma was a child of the depression in an already very poor part of rural Alabama. Since Bisquick was more expensive than plain flour, even once she could have afforded it she couldn't bring herself to spend the extra money. So us grandkids always made sure she got a box of Bisquick at Christians
Ohhh, your channel makes me so happy! It's like spending time in the kitchen with a best friend! Thank you for being an oasis of joy in a challenging world! Sending you much love and admiration! ❤❤❤
I always told my 4-H kids “If the difference between making a pie and not making a pie is using a store-bought crust, BUY THE CRUST. No one who gets a pie is going to say ‘no thanks’ because it’s not entirely homemade!” The photos have been color-enhanced. It gives them a distinct photo/drawing style. Edit: I should clarify and add that the color was most likely added to the plates by hand before printing. I don’t know how. I love the look because it reminds me of my mom and aunt.
I'm an avid cookbook collector and professional food historian, and I just wanted to let you know that those are actually photographs! Love your channel, keep it up! ❤
It's like the British sticky toffee pudding, it is ment to be turned out onto a serving platter and the sauce pours all over it like a flan or Crème Brulée. You could also make in individual ramekins
I have this booklet! Born in 1955 I grew up on bisquick...Mom made orange biscuits with frozen OJ and added some sugar to the mix. So yummy! My booklet is not in as good a condition as yours but I've used it a lot.
I didn't think I had watched this video but then I see I made a comment before. Okay, I'm as old as dirt and I'm losing it. I was 16 in 1956 and a lot of these recipes are new to me. My parents were 10 years older than my friend's parents so I don't think the fifties had caught up with them yet.
Reminds me a bit of Pouding Chômeur, a dish from Quebec that became very popular in the depression but is still a loved food that is very embedded into our culture 🖤 it is similar but the syrup is usually maple syrup or brown sugar (often it's both) with vanilla and butter. Then you put a cake like batter in the pan, pour the syrup on top and bake. During baking it "flips," meaning the syrup sauce sinks to the bottom as it bakes fully soaking the cake while it caramelizes. To this day Pouding chômer is one of the first things a lot of Canadian kids learn to cook/bake 🖤🖤🖤 This looks good and im glad you enjoyed it
The bisquick cookbooks were family staples for us! Some stuff we made regularly were hamburger pie, and ESPECIALLY the coffee cake! The bisquick coffee cake, particularly the one that uses a pudding mix, are so, so good. You have to try it!
I buy them at estate sales. I love the recipes that never mention low fat anything. I use Bisquick for chicken and dumplings. Always comes out perfect. And for shortcake.
Oh my gosh...loving your channel! I thrifted those beautiful Pyrex bowls about 15 years ago for $30! About the same time I found a small set of those plates you used (6 plates, 1 platter and 2 serving bowls) and I have that bisquick leaflet book! We are kindred spirits...there are lots of us!
This channel is just so darn cute and fun! I love that you’re resurrecting these recipes… I would love to try some! And you don’t need lots of fancy equipment. ❤
I love old cookbooks, especially from the 1950's and 60's, when I would look them over with my Mom. Now I collect the little cookbooks from book sales.
Born 1961 - Ft. Lauderdale - Yep - I remember a lot of these crazy recipes. My mother made several variations of those noodle and hamburger bakes, and salmon patties were common in the summertime with key limes off of our tree. And of course Jello with fruit cocktail in it. I still like that today. I remember when she made the orange Jello, she would use half boiling water and once it was dissolved, she would use real orange juice. And I loved her Orange Slice Cake. It had cut up orange slice candy in it along with dates, nuts, coconut and a strong orange glaze. SO GOOD!!!! Thank You for some Good Memories!
I have many Bisquick booklets and full cookbooks including this one from my mom. One of the main things my family always had in the house before winter in Indiana was a box of Bisquick because you could do so many things with it if we were snowbound.
I always transferred my bisquik to a Tupperware and cut the recipes off the box to put them in the container, too. This was pre home computers and I was a pretty new wife/mom. 😅
When I measure any dry ingredients like flower, sugar, cornmeal, Bisquick, etc. I placed my measuring cup on a paper plate, then I can overfill the cup and smooth it off with a knife, and fold the paper plate in half and pour the extra back in the container.
You make me feel so happy! I get so excited going through cookbooks and especially the older cookbooks that talk about entertaining and with quotes and fun illustrations!
My grandmother used to make this. I haven't had it for years. I can't wait to try to make it this holiday season. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do!
@@cooking_the_books After a couple of days (and eating through a recipe of this delicious dish), I realized this is a lot like sticky-toffee-pudding, but you cook the cake IN the sauce instead of pouring it on after the cake is baked. Plus replace the raisins with dates. Other than that, they're very similar.
This is already put on my 'must make' list for next month's grocery run. Thank you! i came for the recipes but am really loving the book chat. Maybe a mini Bisquick series to use up the box we are gonna buy asap? Southern Living says "The product has been updated since its launch, adding buttermilk and more shortening, to create a fluffier and lighter texture. "
Okay, I'm just a little unreasonably obsessed with the question of the difference between original Bisquick and new Bisquick, which is now just Bisquick. Didn't seem to make much difference here... this looked pretty fabulous! I think of the extra liquid as just a nice, loose caramel sauce kinda situation! The cute little illustrations were the best as well. I love those single-colour ones that get themed through a book's section. This was just excellent Anna! Thank you!
'New Bisquick' (aka the Bisquick we have now) supposedly makes fluffier biscuits. The change may not have been a huuuuge deal. However, a while back I posted an early 50s recipe for Gooey Buns that contained Bisquick. I SWEAR the recipe did not work as directed. That could definitely be on me, but I can't help but wonder if it had something to do with the newer version of Bisquick. The world may never know!
@@cooking_the_books Apparently the difference is buttermilk and more shortening now than before. I was able to Google and find a reference to the difference. A Mental Floss article listing 10 things you didn't know about Bisquick. This is #5 in the article: The Bisquick recipe was modified in the 1960s. General Mills changed the Bisquick recipe in the late 1960s to make biscuits fluffier and lighter in texture. The new product, which had buttermilk and more shortening in it, was called New Bisquick.

One of my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe uses Bisquick , it’s called Quick Peanut Butter Cookies in the 1986 Betty Crocker Cookie Book. It says it is the first printing in this format. They are delicious 😋
Is it like a sticky toffee pudding? Your descriptions sound as if that may be the case. It looks fab! I love the dates, but am not a raisin fan. I suppose almost any dried fruit(s) would work with this. I just came upon your channel by happenstance, and am so glad I did. I am 74 years old. Lost my mom in 2019 when she was still a feisty 97 year old! She would have loved your channel, and I actually get tears in my eyes looking at all the various products you use that my mom used when I was a child. No matter how old we or they may be when we lose them, we will always love and miss our dear mothers. Thank you for this channel. I’m loving it! 💙👵🏼🧑🏻🦳
My grandmothers used to have little recipe books like this. There would be an ad in a magazine or on a product, like mail three proof of purchase squares or box tops from the package and a home address to the address shown in the ad. The company would send out a free booklet. They were pretty cool.
I received my first Betty Crocker spiral cookbook for Christmas in 1972. I was 12. I loved to cook and learned at an early age from my Mom and older sister. Then I took Home Economics three years in Highschool.
The photos that look like they are like sketches are a filter/technique called Photorealistic. Very popular from the early 20th century up to I would say 1960's. Today, you can easily do it on your smartphone. Now, realtors like to use it because it smooths out flaws in photos of homes for sale.
My husband and I found your channel last night and absolutely love it. I pulled out my BHG New Cook Book Limited Addition Pink Ribbon (breast cancer awareness) edition and made a recipe. Oven Roasted Honey-and-Apple Ribs pg. 350. Absolutely delicious. I doubled the recipe and seasoned and seared the country style ribs before roasting. Love your videos. Thank you!
As a kid of the 70's - i certainly remember a time when most mom's and grandmother's still made things frm scratch. I remember when grocery stores were just that, a grocery store - no pre-made anything....so family/church gatherings were nothing but hm made delish food....
Hi Anna, I just recently joined your channel on a recommendation from Jen Chapin (who I adore). I just knew she'd lead me in the right direction. After watching a couple of your videos, I was hooked. You are everything that I love - a lover of vintage cookbooks and vintage recipes from wherever I can find them; including old handwritten ones. I also love the old pots and pans and inherited my mother-in-law's farberware set. Your bowls are lovely! I imagine a lot of wonderful memories and love came from the meals they once held. Today, I'm making the Ranch Pudding. I just had to, lol. I'm dying to see how mine comes out. It's been so much fun watching you follow the recipes, and I can't wait to cook along with you more. Thank you!
Thank you so much for coming over! I loved collaborating with Jen. It's always great to connect with other vintage cookbook and recipe enthusiasts! I love hand written recipes, too. I have a few handwritten cards from my grandma who is no longer with us, and I am so glad to have them!
My mother had a B. Crocker cookbook that I loved! I told her how much I liked it and she went hunting and found me a copy that was printed the year I was born (1953!). She also found one for my older sister, but I think she lost hers in a house fire. 😢
I am seeing this one a year after you posted it. I was delighted to see the footage of sweet Dottie, who is now happily exploring Heaven with your family members who have passed.
I'd never heard of cookies from Bisquick, but I once did try using a recipe from a box of instant pudding mix for chocolate chip cookies. I think it was vanilla pudding mix and they were the best cookies I ever made. I brought them to work for a food day and someone actually said I should sell them. I think I lost the recipe in a move years ago.
This looks SO good! I will definitely try it. The illustrations in the cookbook look like in her 1953 New PictureCookbook. Just adorable! Thank you, Anna, for digging out these gems for us. 💜
So I’m planning dinner for an upcoming Bunco night and decided to use my 1971 Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library. They also have this Ranch Pudding in there (Q-18), BUT it has a ginger topping!!! I’m super excited to try it. Here’s the recipe for those wanting to try the topping. Ginger Topping: In chilled bowl, beat 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff; fold in 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Or fold 1/4 teaspoon ginger into 1 cup frozen whipped topping (thawed) .
I used to make a peanut butter cookie recipe that was just peanut butter, Bisquick, and sweetened condensed milk. They were tasty, but always looked kind of pale.
OMG! The porcelain statue of Alice on top of your bookcase! I have the exact same one (I think) I got it at Disneyland in the 80s. I have never seen another. So cute! 💖
I made this and it is so good. I used craisins and the tartness went well against the brown sugar sauce. I think I'm going to add some orange zest next time. Thank you for sharing.
I love when you say “Betty Crocker herself” 😊 Betty was a fabrication of the company, because they considered that buyers needed a believable housewife to relate to. Women all over the U.S. wrote letters to “her” asking for advice, etc. and “she” actually replied! Adorable!
@@TaviaShadowstar11 you? Yes, I did notice that… but that’s ok… you must have so much stress that you need to take it out on others instead of staying out of other people’s business. Bless your heart.
Those are photographs. I use bisquick mainly for Impossible Pies and shortcake. Not bad at all. I think my recipe for Serbian eggs calls for Bisquick as well. That’s a wonderful quiche of sorts. My recipe is a bit more involved than the one I found online.
It's looking so beautiful and delicious. You doing awesome and hard work keep doing. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful video and your ideas. Have a beautiful day.
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I swear…..I think my little playmate’s mother made this……the ‘50s era would be the right time frame. I remember really liking it because that burnt sugar/caramel taste is my favorite dessert profile as I’ve never liked chocolate….and everyone is always pushing chocolate 😝, so this was a wonderful respite of which I have vivid memories. However, I remember the syrup being a little thicker….wonder if she cooked it longer? But I don’t remember the name, “Ranch Pudding”.
I realize this is from a year ago but just seeing it now and had to Comment. When I was a kid in the 60's my mom used to get a mix called "Sauce n Cake" put out by Dr Oetker. Might be available only in Canada, not sure. There were many different flavours. As I began to do my own baking I discovered recipes to make these from scratch. Often called Pudding cakes or Cottage Pudding. There are tons of different recipes out there. I have made butterscotch, chocolate, apple, lemon and tweaked a few to make different combinations and variations. It's so quick and easy to make, even from scratch. Very popular with the kids so often made for family meals.
A local (Arizona) grocery store used to sell Dr Oetker frozen pizzas and i LOVED them. Suddenly they stopped carrying them, and I miss them. So delicious.
I agree with you about the challenge of measuring Bisquick from the box 😕 This dessert is something my Mother would have loved. She loved anything made with brown sugar. I'm surprised she didn't come across that recipe since she often made things with Bisquick and made chocolate and lemon pudding cakes-yum!
Hooray!!! This is like a British pudding and looks so delicious! I would happily watch you read and page thru cookbooks too, this is such a great channel!! 🙂💜
It says in the 1950s edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook that General Mills had just built a huge facility for Betty Crocker products, that included different styles of kitchens and all kinds of photography equipment, including photo enhanced capabilities. This was a big thing back then!
I always find that sauces are always cooked a bit less than I think they should be. I’ll bet if you cook that sauce for another 3-5 minutes it would still be very good and maybe a bit more solid. I’m trying this. Thank you!
So sad that I actually fell for the bisquick sell. Later when I learned (taught myself) to cook from scratch, I realized how much I was overspending for bisquick to make what I could’ve made from regular flour and baking powder! I grew up with bisquick in the pantry purchased by my non cooking mother. She had meals that we rotated for our family growing up. She also was a product of the post-war “prepared food generation”. But when I got married and was a new clueless cook, I used to make the impossible pie. And I tried it again years later when I had kids. They all loved it.
Subscribed to your channel, love the old books! I am collecting those too. My oldest cookbook is from 1889. But I also love my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from 1953 from the USA. Keep up the good word, love from the Netherlands!😃
Hi there and welcome! I just love meeting other vintage cookbook collectors. Those BH&G books are some of my favs! Thanks for watching and subscribing. ♥
Anna, just love your channel & i will definitely try this Ranch Pudding - such a great name - i can just see a busy, happy, family living on a farm/ranch with much better things to do than worry about perfectly wedged desserts served on doilies w powdered sugar atop - although, i would also love to experience a Russian Tea Room type day - once in my silly life - God bless 💐Lisa
Those "little" cookbooks were generally given to schools for Home Economic students. I have lots of them from past family members, I love them. They were an advertisement gimmick. I have some that date back to the 1930's, three of which were my mother-in-law's.
Betty Crocker was the standard when I was growing up. I had home economics in junior high. Her cookbook was our textbook. Truth is? If you just have her recipes. Nothing else? They think you're a wonderful cook. For instance, I've tried dozens of pie crust recipes? The best one hands down is the one in my 1970 something Betty Crocker.
I was truly stunned by the deliciousness of this recipe. Color me surprised!
Interesting fact, Betty Crocker is a completely fictional character.
It looks kind of like New England Indian Pudding… but v different ingredients! interesting!!
@@louisejohnson6057 She knows that. She talked about it in at least one of her videos.
Does it taste like pecan pie?
Me too, HEY Shiny, how's tricks? I ready thought it was some kinda of Ranch dressing, never heard of this ,but just from your response, I'm thinking I'm going to have to make it.😊

I'm an avid cookbook collector and professional food historian, and I just wanted to let you know that those are actually photographs! Love your channel, keep it up! ❤
So it's the printing process, and probably the type of paper used that gives it that look, I guess.

I was wondering if it was like that too. With the flavors and dates, and texture it seems like it might be.
Hey! I have a decent set of individual ramekins. This sounds great! I'll try it... also with the ginger topping someone posted below... yum! 😋
I have to make this! Thank you for your enthusiasm and good cheer, Anna!
My mom used Bisquick for biscuits for strawberry shortcake, her wonderful blueberry muffins. Many memories there.
I have this booklet! Born in 1955 I grew up on bisquick...Mom made orange biscuits with frozen OJ and added some sugar to the mix. So yummy! My booklet is not in as good a condition as yours but I've used it a lot.

They should put it in either a plastic or metal can,like coffee comes in.Then you can refill it again,or use the container for other things.
I'd pour the powder into an air tight flour sized canister.
Butterprint is my favorite!
Put it in a container
Or save an old oats container lol

Sounds perfect! 😋
I was just thinking the same thing. The ingredients are the same. Sticky Toffee Pudding is Heavenly!!!!
That dessert is asking for either ice cream or perhaps a drizzle of heavy cream.
The new bisquick had buttermilk and more shortening for lighter and fluffier bisquits, ect.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support. ❤️

As a kid of the 70's - i certainly remember a time when most mom's and grandmother's still made things frm scratch. I remember when grocery stores were just that, a grocery store - no pre-made anything....so family/church gatherings were nothing but hm made delish food....
This looks yummy!
Always enjoy your videos.
I love vintage cookbooks this a great new channel for me❤
Enjoying all your videos.
Hi Anna, I just recently joined your channel on a recommendation from Jen Chapin (who I adore). I just knew she'd lead me in the right direction. After watching a couple of your videos, I was hooked. You are everything that I love - a lover of vintage cookbooks and vintage recipes from wherever I can find them; including old handwritten ones. I also love the old pots and pans and inherited my mother-in-law's farberware set. Your bowls are lovely! I imagine a lot of wonderful memories and love came from the meals they once held. Today, I'm making the Ranch Pudding. I just had to, lol. I'm dying to see how mine comes out. It's been so much fun watching you follow the recipes, and I can't wait to cook along with you more. Thank you!
Thank you so much for coming over! I loved collaborating with Jen. It's always great to connect with other vintage cookbook and recipe enthusiasts! I love hand written recipes, too. I have a few handwritten cards from my grandma who is no longer with us, and I am so glad to have them!
Aren’t those bowls lovely? Feels like being in my grandmother’s kitchen.
My mother had a B. Crocker cookbook that I loved!
I told her how much I liked it and she went hunting and found me a copy that was printed the year I was born (1953!).
She also found one for my older sister, but I think she lost hers in a house fire. 😢
I had my Mom’s. Now my daughter-in-law has it.
I am seeing this one a year after you posted it. I was delighted to see the footage of sweet Dottie, who is now happily exploring Heaven with your family members who have passed.
Velvet crumb cake was our strawberry shortcake cake
I'd never heard of cookies from Bisquick, but I once did try using a recipe from a box of instant pudding mix for chocolate chip cookies. I think it was vanilla pudding mix and they were the best cookies I ever made. I brought them to work for a food day and someone actually said I should sell them. I think I lost the recipe in a move years ago.
That's so sad!
I have this booklet and have used it for years and years! Great for a new bride!!
Bisquick noodles, what!!!!!!!!!! Very exciting. I’m loving the pudding cookie idea too. Wow I’m sold- sounds so incredible
I know you love a Bisquick recipe! This one was so, so good,. I'm still kind of shocked. 😄
This looks SO good! I will definitely try it. The illustrations in the cookbook look like in her 1953 New PictureCookbook. Just adorable! Thank you, Anna, for digging out these gems for us. 💜
The butterscotch sauce was perfection! 😍
My mom had that book and my sister still has it!
So I’m planning dinner for an upcoming Bunco night and decided to use my 1971 Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library. They also have this Ranch Pudding in there (Q-18), BUT it has a ginger topping!!! I’m super excited to try it. Here’s the recipe for those wanting to try the topping.
Ginger Topping: In chilled bowl, beat 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff; fold in 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Or fold 1/4 teaspoon ginger into 1 cup frozen whipped topping (thawed) .
Sounds like a winner! Thanks for sharing! 😋
Wow ranch pudding tastes delicious? I’m intrigued lol ✨ Love your teardrop art in the background by the way! 😊
It was so so good! I was truly surprised. Thanks for watching!
Looks to be from back in the 60's that little booklet. Pics look to be like I remembered so long ago. 😊😊😊 Everything sounds so delicious.
I love your videos! It is so fun to see the vintage cookbooks and you do a great job of creating the recipes!
I used to make a peanut butter cookie recipe that was just peanut butter, Bisquick, and sweetened condensed milk. They were tasty, but always looked kind of pale.
OMG! The porcelain statue of Alice on top of your bookcase! I have the exact same one (I think) I got it at Disneyland in the 80s. I have never seen another. So cute! 💖
Thanks for this great recipe
Thanks for watching!
I love all the fun vintage stuff you've collected it looks 👍
Thanks so much!
I made this and it is so good. I used craisins and the tartness went well against the brown sugar sauce. I think I'm going to add some orange zest next time. Thank you for sharing.
I love when you say “Betty Crocker herself” 😊
Betty was a fabrication of the company, because they considered that buyers needed a believable housewife to relate to. Women all over the U.S. wrote letters to “her” asking for advice, etc. and “she” actually replied! Adorable!
She’s being sarcastic, you realize? She has mentioned this topic several times.
@@TaviaShadowstar11 this is the first video I watch of hers!
@@mariapaulastepanian9930 lol. Jumping right to condescending.
@@TaviaShadowstar11 you? Yes, I did notice that… but that’s ok… you must have so much stress that you need to take it out on others instead of staying out of other people’s business. Bless your heart.
@@mariapaulastepanian9930 the lady does protest too much.
You say "UMM" so cute.
Ranch pudding!? How fun! I love your background music! 🥰
It was so delicious!!
Those are photographs. I use bisquick mainly for Impossible Pies and shortcake. Not bad at all. I think my recipe for Serbian eggs calls for Bisquick as well. That’s a wonderful quiche of sorts. My recipe is a bit more involved than the one I found online.
It's looking so beautiful and delicious. You doing awesome and hard work keep doing. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful video and your ideas. Have a beautiful day.
Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Love it!!! I'm hooked on old cookbooks but rarely actually try the recipes. This is so much fun!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I swear…..I think my little playmate’s mother made this……the ‘50s era would be the right time frame. I remember really liking it because that burnt sugar/caramel taste is my favorite dessert profile as I’ve never liked chocolate….and everyone is always pushing chocolate 😝, so this was a wonderful respite of which I have vivid memories. However, I remember the syrup being a little thicker….wonder if she cooked it longer? But I don’t remember the name, “Ranch Pudding”.
Late to the party, but I made this tonight. Holy cow this is good! It's a keeper!!
This is the most excited I’ve seen you get over a recipe! I have to try it now 😂
I realize this is from a year ago but just seeing it now and had to Comment. When I was a kid in the 60's my mom used to get a mix called "Sauce n Cake" put out by Dr Oetker. Might be available only in Canada, not sure. There were many different flavours. As I began to do my own baking I discovered recipes to make these from scratch. Often called Pudding cakes or Cottage Pudding. There are tons of different recipes out there. I have made butterscotch, chocolate, apple, lemon and tweaked a few to make different combinations and variations. It's so quick and easy to make, even from scratch. Very popular with the kids so often made for family meals.
A local (Arizona) grocery store used to sell Dr Oetker frozen pizzas and i LOVED them. Suddenly they stopped carrying them, and I miss them. So delicious.
Omigosh…I love your apron! I wear an apron every time I’m in the kitchen…every day. Love your channel. ♥️
I agree with you about the challenge of measuring Bisquick from the box 😕
This dessert is something my Mother would have loved. She loved anything made with brown sugar. I'm surprised she didn't come across that recipe since she often made things with Bisquick and made chocolate and lemon pudding cakes-yum!
I love bisquick mix. I've used it for years. 😊😊😊
You are a pleasure to listen to.
Hooray!!! This is like a British pudding and looks so delicious!
I would happily watch you read and page thru cookbooks too, this is such a great channel!! 🙂💜
Wow! This Pudding looks delicious, tasty and mouthwatering.
Very nicely prepared. Superb presentation.
Thanks so much!
I met Betty Crocker at the Illinois State Fain in 1969. Nice.
It says in the 1950s edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook that General Mills had just built a huge facility for Betty Crocker products, that included different styles of kitchens and all kinds of photography equipment, including photo enhanced capabilities. This was a big thing back then!
I always find that sauces are always cooked a bit less than I think they should be. I’ll bet if you cook that sauce for another 3-5 minutes it would still be very good and maybe a bit more solid. I’m trying this. Thank you!
Reminds me of Pouding chomeur! Learned from Food Wishes youtube channel a la Chef John
The difference between original Bisquick and New Bisquick is that new has more buttermilk and shortening to make the finished product fluffier.
So sad that I actually fell for the bisquick sell. Later when I learned (taught myself) to cook from scratch, I realized how much I was overspending for bisquick to make what I could’ve made from regular flour and baking powder! I grew up with bisquick in the pantry purchased by my non cooking mother. She had meals that we rotated for our family growing up. She also was a product of the post-war “prepared food generation”. But when I got married and was a new clueless cook, I used to make the impossible pie. And I tried it again years later when I had kids. They all loved it.
Loved your reaction!❤
Subscribed to your channel, love the old books! I am collecting those too. My oldest cookbook is from 1889. But I also love my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from 1953 from the USA.
Keep up the good word, love from the Netherlands!😃
Hi there and welcome! I just love meeting other vintage cookbook collectors. Those BH&G books are some of my favs! Thanks for watching and subscribing. ♥
Looks delicious!! Very similar to a Poor Mans Pudding.
Anna, just love your channel & i will definitely try this Ranch Pudding - such a great name - i can just see a busy, happy, family living on a farm/ranch with much better things to do than worry about perfectly wedged desserts served on doilies w powdered sugar atop - although, i would also love to experience a Russian Tea Room type day - once in my silly life - God bless 💐Lisa
Mantab Masakan ranch puddingnya
rasanya pasti enak
Terimakasih sharing resepnya
Salam sehat selalu
Thanks!
In Australia, we call them self saucing puddings. They are good
Those "little" cookbooks were generally given to schools for Home Economic students. I have lots of them from past family members, I love them. They were an advertisement gimmick. I have some that date back to the 1930's, three of which were my mother-in-law's.
What an interesting recipe. It looks like it earned the pudding name!
I've never had anything quite like it!
My diabetes is through the roof just watching the video! I am so making this anyway!! My husband will love it
Betty Crocker was the standard when I was growing up. I had home economics in junior high. Her cookbook was our textbook. Truth is? If you just have her recipes. Nothing else? They think you're a wonderful cook. For instance, I've tried dozens of pie crust recipes? The best one hands down is the one in my 1970 something Betty Crocker.
