Hi,

Could you please tell me what A Sweet Potato Nail is, & where can I find one? I have never seen one in any store that I have been in, & I always shop the Kitchen Stores. Thank You,

I would love some recipes for cupcakes- they are easy to make and pretty cheap, which is great now-a-days with the price of everything rising daily! Thanks!

15 oz kidney beans drained and rinsed
15 oz stewed tomatoes
15 oz can corn or frozen corn
2 tsp chili powder
1-1/2 Tblsp vinegar
1 tsp basil

Combine these items with macaroni & hamburger. Bake in 350E oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 - 10 minutes additionally if necessary.
 

These aren't exactly what you asked for but you make the dough, cut them out, freeze them and bake them from frozen or you can keep them in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. They are the same recipe just made up a little differently

Angel Flake Biscuits

1 pkg. dry yeast (1 T)
2 T warm water
1 C Crisco
2 C buttermilk*
5 C flour
4 T sugar
1 t soda
3 t baking powder
1 t salt

Cut shortening into dry ingredients then add yeast and buttermilk. Knead to Dough consistency. Roll out to 1/2" thickness; cut with cutter. Melt Butter...Dip biscuits in melted butter and fold in half. Freeze 12 to a pan. Do not thaw. Bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes or till brown. (I scrape them off the pan after frozen and store in Ziploc bag in freezer until
needed). KP

Angel Biscuits or Dinner Rolls

5 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
3 t. baking powder
1 t. soda
1 t. salt
1 c. shortening
1 pkg. Yeast
2 T. warm water
2 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. butter (optional)

Soften yeast in 2 T. water. Cut shortening in the dry ingredients like pie crust. Add buttermilk and softened yeast. Refrigerate and use as needed. Roll 1/2 inch thick on floured board. Cut biscuits and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Dough will keep up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. To use as dinner rolls, add 1/4 c. butter along with the shortening, although these are quite rich without it.

* It's okay to use powdered buttermilk in these. You buy it where powdered milk, evaporated canned milk, etc. are located. Since no one in my household would ever drink buttermilk any leftovers from baking go to waste. Powdered buttermilk isn't drinkable but it lasts essentially forever in the refrigerator. (I once moved the same can of powdered buttermilk 3 times in almost 10 years and it was fine when I finished it off.

For this recipe mix the buttermilk powder to the yeast and flour, then water using the directions on the buttermilk can.

Re: Fruit Salad with Vanilla Pudding

Here is what I use:

1 lg can fruit cocktail
1 lg can pineapple
1 can mandarin oranges
1 lg can sliced peaches
1 small box INSTANT vanilla pudding
2 T Tang drink mix (use it dry)

Mix all fruits with their juices in a large bowl. Add 2 T dry TANG drink mix and box of INSTANT vanilla pudding powder. Stir well.

You can use whatever fruits that you want - I usually chop a fresh banana or two into it. Sometimes sliced grapes also.

Sue wanted a fruit salad recipe for her daughter's graduation. This recipe does not call for crushed pineapple, but it could certainly be added.

Fruit Trifle Salad

6 oranges, peeled and sliced
3 bananas, sliced
3 c. blueberries
2 c. seedless grapes
3 c. strawberries, halved 4-oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding
1-3/4 c. milk
3/4 c. dairy sour cream
1 t. orange zest

In a large glass bowl, layer all of the fruit in order listed above. Fruit can be substituted for in-season items, except melon. For the topping, combine pudding mix and milk. Beat for one to 2 minutes. Beat in sour cream and orange peel. Serve with fruit.
