From Family Cookbook-Pound Cake

The family cookbook contains recipes, my Gramps & Granny used often and is the type of food I grew up on. Good ole Southern food like my Gramps dumplings, to Grannies pecan pie.

It’s super easy to make and the rewards are high.

What You Need

 

2 cups sugar

1 cup margarine

4 eggs

2 1/2 TSP. vanilla

1 cup Butter Milk

3 cups flour

1/2 TSP soda

1 TSP salt

Like many recipes, they are old and faded and my Granny made items enough that she didn’t add instructions. This is one of the recipes. I’ll try to read her mind.

Who To Make

 

In a large bowl add sugar and margarine

Mix eggs beaten well

Add vanilla, buttermilk and salt

Add flour and soda

Combine all ingredients

Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 1/2

I winged it on the instructions, if you’ve been backing a long time it might make sense to you. If it tastes bad you can say it’s because it had no instructions.

Cooking is fun!
