I made one of Grannie's recipes tonight and thought it was a great topic for the recipes forum. Sort of a "comfort food" thing. Feel free to add your Grannie's recipes. I'll start with:

Golden Sesame Chicken

4 halves frying chicken
1/4 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1-1/2 tsp paprika
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 cup white chablis wine
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Dredge chicken in flour mixed with seasonings. Melt butter with oil in a 9X13" baking dish. Dip chicken on both sides in melted fat. Turn skin side down in pan, sprinkle with half of sesame seeds. Bake in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn chicken. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds and add 3/4 cup of wine to the pan.

Continue baking for 35-45 minutes longer, until chicken is tender. Remove chicken to hot serving platter. Add remaining 1/4 cup wine to pan. Bring to a boil and pour over chicken. Serve with rice pilaf and tossed green salad.

Your Chicken recipe sounds wonderful. Just happen to have a couple fryers in the freezer so think I might try this today. Thank you.

Hi Miss Treated:
Your granny's chicken recipe was supurb. Both DH and I liked it but we didn't like the sauce and I think that's because the chicken I used was pretty fat and the sauce ended up with over an inch of chicken fat on top of the sauce. When I make it again I'm going to put the sauce in the refrig so the fat solidifies then take that off. The chicken was moist, tender and really good plus it was quite pretty on the serving dish. I was going to make rice, as you suggested, but decided to use up some left over Au Gratins and veggies so next time I'll use the rice. Thanks for a good, quick to prepare and pretty main dish. I'll use this recipe often.

Glad the recipe was more or less a success. :)

I have one of those fat seperaters, looks like a pitcher with the spout coming from the bottom. It works pretty well, but sometimes the chunks get stuck. If you don't have one, you might like to get one. I use mine when I'm making gravies and such from fatty meats. (If you choose to get one, get a glass one. When you pour hot liquid in the plastic one, they get little cracks.)

Thanks MissTreated: I do have one of those PLASTIC grease separator cups.......don't know why I didn't think to use it???? :oops: :oops: :hunf: Next time I surely will. Today we're having leftover chicken sandwiches with what we didn't eat last night. I think we might also have a chicken, mandarin orange, Chinese Noodle salad for dinner tonight and then the chicken will be all used up. YUM! YUM!

I LOVE chicken Mandarin salads. Everyone has their own spin on them, and I have never had one I didn't like!

Here's a good one for breakfast, any time of day!

Highland Hotcakes (makes servings for 4)

3/4 cup rolled oats (quick or old fashioned, uncoooked)
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup melted or liquid shortening (I use canola oil)

Combine oats and milk, let stand 5 minutes
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt
Add to the oat/milk mixture, along with eggs and shortening
Stir only to combine

For each hotcake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook to a golden brown, turning only once. Serve with butter and syrup. (Of course she always served them with breakfast sausage as well.) Her notes claim this recipe makes 12 5" pancakes. They are pretty substantial pancakes, not something you can eat a huge stack of!

Any other Grannie recipes out there?

Grannie's Touchdown Ginger Cookies

Heat oven ot 350

1 Cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soda
2 cup flour

Cream sugar and shortening, add eggs and molasses and beat well. Sift dry ingredients together and add to egg/molasses, mixture.

Mold into small balls and roll in granulated sugar. Do not flatten.
Bake for 10 minutes.

These cookies were always my favorite. She made them look so perfect, they were often mistaken for "store-bought." In fact, she left in a snit from one of her home-makers meetings because one of the other ladier wouldn't put her cookies out because they only wanted "home-made" cookies...

I bought her a cookie jar one time as a joke. It said "home made" on one side and "store bought" on the other. She LOVED that cookie jar, and it was almost always on the "home made" side when I came to visit. :)
