Hi, this is my first time here. I'm searching for a recipe I used to make for my kids when they were small and unfortunately the page it was on is missing from my old 1970's Betty Crocker cookbook. It was on page 53 I believe. The recipe is for Golden Puffs, like a donut hole, and was so easy to make. If anyone has access to the cookbook and can post the recipe here I would really appreciate it!!!

Thanks!!!

Hi! I just joined to answer your need.  Your description sounded like my 1st cookbook given to me by my Mom in 1975. This book is the first I pull from my collection when I'm looking for something.  Sure enough on p53 is your Golden Puffs Recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising flour)   1/4 cup sugar   3 teaspoons baking powder       1 teaspoon salt            1 teaspoon nutmeg or mace    1/4 cup salad oil     3/4 cup milk    1 egg     1/2 cup sugar           1 teaspoon cinnamon 

Heat fat or oil(3-4inches) to 375 degrees in deep fat fryer or kettle.  Measure flour, 1/4  cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and nutmeg into bowl.  Add oil, milk, and egg; beat until smooth.

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls(too large puffs will not cook through) into hot fat.  Fry 4 or 5 at a time about 3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.  Drain.

Stir together 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll warm puffs in sugar-cinnamon mixture.        

2 1/2 dozen puffs

Variation: Buttermilk Nut Puffs:  Decrease baking powser to 1 teaspoon, add n1/2 teaspoon soda and substitute buttermilk for the milk.  Blend 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1/3 cup boiling water.  Glaze puffs with warm mixture and roll in finely chopped nuts.  If desired, omit glaze and roll warm puffs in sugar.  (Do not use self-rixing flour).

Your Very Welcome and Enjoy!

Many Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

I'm looking for a pecan pie  recipe from the cookbook you have.  It is on page 330.  I  have used this recipe so much that the page has disappeared.  We have a bumper crop of pecans this year and my husband just wants a pecan pie.  I would be so happy if you can supply this recipe for me. 

thanks a bunch.
