  Phaedrus,
  Please help me.  I have lost my recipe for Gold Medals white bread.  
  Gold Medal sent it to me after they stopped putting it on their flour 
  bag.  It's the one that is made out of Better for Bread flour.  Thank 
  you so much for your help.  I don't know what I'd do without your website.

Hi Cindi,

Is this it?

  White  Bread

   Ingredients : 
   2 pkgs. active dry yeast
   1 1/4 c. warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
   1 c. warm water*
   3 tbsp. sugar
   1 tbsp. salt
   3 tbsp. shortening
   6 to 6 1/2 c. Gold Medal Better for Bread flour
   Margarine or butter, softened

   Preparation : 
      Dissolve yeast in 1 1/4 cups warm water.  Stir in 1 cup warm
   water, the sugar, salt, shortening, and 3 1/2 cups of the flour. 
   Beat until smooth.  Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy
   to handle.  Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until
   smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.  Place in greased bowl; turn
   greased side up.  Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled, about
   1 hour.  (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) 
   Punch down dough; divide into halves.  Round up; place on lightly
   floured surface.  Cover with inverted bowls; let rest 15 to 20
   minutes.  Roll each half into rectangle, 18 x 9 inches.  Fold into
   thirds.  Roll dough into rectangle, 13 x 8 inches, pressing out as
   many air bubbles as possible.  Roll up tightly, beginning at 8 inch
   end.  Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well; press in ends of
   roll.  Press each end with side of hand to seal; fold ends under. 
   Place loaves, seam sides down, in 2 greased loaf pans, 9 x 5 x 3
   inches.  Brush lightly with margarine.  Let rise until double, about
   1 hour.  Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Place loaves on low rack so that
   tops of pans are in center of oven.  Pans should not touch each
   other or sides of oven.  Bake until loaves are deep golden and sound
   hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Immediately remove from pans. 
   Brush top of loaves with margarine; cool on wire racks.  2 loaves. 
   *1 cup lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled) or warm potato liquid
   can be substituted for the warm water.  Cinnamon-Raisin Bread:  Mix
   in 1 1/2 cups raisins with the second addition of flour.  Mix 1/4
   cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.  Sprinkle each rectangle,
   13 x 8 inches, with 1 tablespoon water and half of the sugar
   mixture.  Herb Bread:  Stir in 2 teaspoons caraway seed, 1/2
   teaspoon dried sage leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg with the
   first addition of flour.  Parmesan-Garlic Bread:  Mix 1/4 cup grated
   Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon dried
   oregano leaves.  Sprinkle each rectangle, 13 x 8 inches, with half
   of the cheese mixture.  Poppy Seed-Cheese Bread:  Mix in 1 cup
   shredded cheese (about 4 ounces) and 2 teaspoons poppy seed with the
   second addition of flour.  Mix in 1 1/2 cups raisins with the second
   addition of flour.

Spider Dabs

  We saw a recipe for German Pancakes in  a 1934 cook book . It says to 
  use a 10 inch spider. What is a spider?
  Kathy and Tina

Hi Kathy and Tina,

Many years ago, when people cooked over a real fire, some cast-iron skillets had legs, and were called spider skillets or just "spiders". The legs were there so that you could set them down in a bed of coals to cook. If you set a regular skillet directly on the coals, then the coals would be deprived of oxygen and would lose their heat, but the legs lifted the skillet above the coals, kept it level, and allowed the air to circulate beneath them. There's a picture here:

Spider Skillet

Also, see the recipe below.

Phaed

Spider Dabs a.. 1 cup cornmeal b.. 1 tablespoon sugar c.. 1 teaspoon salt d.. 1 cup boiling water e.. 1/2 cup flour f.. 2 teaspoons baking powder g.. 1/2 cup milk h.. 2 medium eggs i.. Non-Stick Spray for frying In a good sized mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, sugar, and salt. Add the boiling water. The cornmeal will swell up into a lumpy mess. That is alright, don't worry about it. Stir the lumpy mess vigorously with a whisk or fork until it is a thick dough. Let it cool down a little bit. Add the flour, baking powder, milk and eggs. Keep stirring the batter until it is nice and smooth. Drop the mixture by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot, greased skillet. Fry until the underside is golden brown, and the top side bubbles a bit. Turn the pancakes over and continue frying until well browned. Stack on a plate and serve with applesauce, or Pancake Syrup. This recipe makes about 10 pancakes. I double it when I feed my crew, (using 3 eggs instead of 4, and it turns out just fine). These get their name from the old fashioned name for a frying pan. Skillets used to be called Spiders because they had legs and sat in the fireplace. Since this recipe is so old, it was originally cooked in a "Spider" over hot coals. Makes 10 dabs.

  2 T. granulated sugar

  Crumble cooled prepared cake and measure 2 cups of crumbs, patting 
  crumbs lightly down when measuring. Place crumbs in small bowl and 
  mix in the sugar.

  Spray a 9-inch pie pan with Pam and pat cake crumbs in pie pan on 
  the bottom and up the sides. Place pie crust in a preheated 275ºF oven 
  for 7 minutes. Watch crust carefully so the crumbs will not scorch.

  Filling
  1 1/2 C. granulated sugar
  5 T. flour
  1/2 tsp. salt
  2 1/4 C. whole milk
  3 egg yolks, beaten
  1/3 C. lemon juice

  8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed

  In a 2-quart sauce pan mix sugar, flour, salt and milk. Bring ingredients 
  to a low boil and cook for two or three minutes, stirring constantly,

  mixture to beaten egg yolks and whisk together. Place filling back on stove 
  at a low heat and slowly pour egg yolks into filling while whisking together. 
  Pour lemon juice and vanilla into filling and bring to a soft boil and cook 
  for two to three minutes longer.  When filling is thick, remove from heat 
  and set aside to cool. The filling may be poured into the crust while still 
  a little warm but not hot.

  Piccadilly's Pecan Delight

    Serving Size: 6

    Ingredients:
    3 Egg Whites (room temperature, about 1/3C)
    1/4 tsp. Cream Tarter
    1 tsp. Vanilla
    3/4 C. Sugar
    1/3 C. Pecans (chopped small, lightly roasted for crust)
    1/4 C. Pecans (chopped medium, topping)
    1/2 C. Ritz Crackers (chopped in fine pieces, lightly roasted for crust)
    12 oz Whipped Topping (Cool-Whip)

    Preparation:
    In a preheated oven at 350 place 1/3 C pecans and Ritz crackers 
    for 5 minutes. You want to lightly roast the nuts and crackers. 
    Watch them carefully so they do not burn. The crackers and nuts 
    should be a light golden in color. Remove from oven when golden 
    and place on paper towel until cool.

    Add vanilla and cream of tarter to egg whites and beat until stiff. 
    Slowly add sugar and continue to beat egg whites until very stiff, 
    peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold in 1/3 C pecans and Ritz 
    crackers.

    Place in a 10" pie pan that has been lightly sprayed with a non 
    stick baking spray. Spread the meringue to the sides and cover the 
    bottom of pan. The meringue will be about 1" - 1 1/8" thick layer 
    in the pie pan. Hollow out a little hole in the middle of the bottom 
    of the meringue the size of half a dime, this will help with a even 
    baking of the shell. If you have any meringue left make little nest 
    bake the same manor and fill with leftover pudding or fruits.

    Place in a preheated oven at 275 for 1 hour. Check shell, the meringue 
    should not scorch, it will turn light tan in color. Turn oven off and 
    let shell dry in the oven for another hour. Remove shell and cool. 
    When shell is cool place the whipped topping in the shell and sprinkle 
    with 1/4 C. broken pecans. Place in refrigerator to completely chill 
    before serving.
