I think maybe you are looking for good ole down to earth "scratch cooking." I think this may actually be a culture thing. Where I grew up, it was a given that the cooking was done from the basics. I never knew what a skill this was until I was asked to provide recipes for a book. How in the world does one convert, "put in what looks right, or work it 'til it feels right" to a precise measurement or time?
You could try searching Amish Recipes or Cooking, Country Cooking, Appalachian Cooking, etc.
My best wishes to you. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 8:57:57 AM | | ...There's an Amish woman that writes a column for a news service somewhere...it appears in the Toledo Blade newspaper every Sunday. She gives a glimpse into the life of an Amish woman in today's world...what they do..how they cope, and also usually includes a recipe every week. If you Google the Toledo Blade newspaper it's highly likely you can read her column ...and if you're lucky..it will be archived..so you can read past issues as well. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 9:25:16 AM | | I love the Amish foods as well. I have many cook books & sayings they have, along with the distlefinks & all. BUT, alls you have to do is get online & you will find many recipes. My faves are Pickled Red Beet Eggs, Chicken Bott Boi,(pot pie), Corn Chowder, Ham & String Beans, Funnelcakes, Fastchnauts(potato do-nut), Schnitz und Gnepp, Spaetzle, and, of course, Shoe-Fly Pie. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 1:25:25 PM | One of my ex's favorite dishes was an old Amish recipe. It was called hamburger roll up. Basically you take some ground beef (mince for those in the UK) and fry it with chopped onions. After it's done you and a bit of flour and milk till it sticks together. You can either put that in the fridge over night or just set too the side to cool.
Then you make the biscuit dough. You take some flour add a bit of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix those together.
Next you cut in shortning or lard. You can use a pastry cutter, two butter knives or a fork to cut the shortning till its in small chunks throughout the flour mixture. Next you slowly add milk till it all sticks together. Make sure you get it through out but don't mix it to much. Form this into a ball
Take the ball and put in on a floured surface and roll it into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Then you spread the beef on it thinly. Starting at the short end roll it up till it looks like a jelly roll. Slice it into quarters in half and then thirds. Put in a grease pan then bake an 400 till the dough is golden brown.
You can serve it with a mushroom gravy or pasta sauce | |
