there is a banana roll that my grandmom would bring home for Kresge and Alders bakery in
Windsor Ontario Canada and i heard a amish bakery makes in Godrich Ontario but i can not find
it i hope you can help me out thank you
Hi Susan,
Try the below recipe. it's supposed to be from either Kresge's or Woolworth's.
It's the only one that I can find that's attributed to any of these stores/bakeries.
Phaed
Banana Roll
serves 12
One 8-inch round cake layer may be made with this batter. Prepare as directed below.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 large) mashed ripe banana
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
5 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
Adjust rack to lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a small
area in the center of the baking sheet with solid shortening. Line a 12 x 15-1/2 x 1/2-inch
baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang at each short end (the dab of shortening holds
the foil in place). Grease and flour the foil. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and
salt. Combine the mashed banana, sour cream and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until it is smooth and lighter in color. Add the
sugar and scrape the mixture clinging to the sides into the center of the bowl. Continue to
cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture
is quite fluffy. Add half of the flour mixture until blended. Then add the banana mixture, blending
well. Add the remaining flour mixture, blending until smooth.
Scoop the thick batter onto five different areas over two-thirds of the prepared baking sheet.
With a metal spatula, spread and coax the batter to cover the two-third of the sheet. Now extend
it to the rest of the sheet in as even a layer as possible. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the
cake is light golden brown, the sides are beginning to contract from the metal, and the cake springs
back when lightly touched in the center.
Remove the pan from the oven. Using a thin bladed knife, gently release any portion of the cake
sticking to the long sides of the pan. Pull up on the foil overhangs, one at a time, to release
the foil from the pan's edges. Lifting up on the flaps, transfer it to a large rack to cool. Place
a sheet of foil over the cake, and manipulate the foil in a tent fashion. Cool for 30 minutes,
then proceed to assemble the roll.
Spread the cream evenly over the cake with a rubber spatula, up to 1-inch before reaching the
long end farthest from you. (The cake will be rolled lengthwise. Some of the filling will move to
that end as you roll.)
Begin rolling by flipping the edge of cake nearest you over onto itself. Then, with the aid of
the foil that extends on either side of the cake, roll the cake lengthwise until you reach the
other end. With your hands, wrap some of the foil around the roll to assist you in rounding the
shape as you work toward the other end of the cake.
Cut each end of the roll on the diagonal for eye appeal, and sprinkle a light coating of
powdered sugar over it. Lift it onto a serving plate with a long, wide spatula or a baking
sheet without sides.
Filling: Combine 3/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon sugar and
1 teaspoon vanilla in a 1 1/2-quart mixing bowl, and whip them until it is soft, shiny,
and smooth, but stiffer than for most desserts

When I was a little girl, making family visits to Wisconsin, I had a candy called
"fried oysters". They were small and round, with a creamy white filling somebody said
was made with potatoes, coated with dark chocolate and chopped peanuts.
Can you help?
Barb from Allendale
Hi Barb,
I found the below recipe. No potatoes - cream cheese.
Phaed
Fried Oyster Candy
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 1/2 lb. powdered sugar (more or less)
2 tbsp. vanilla
Dipping chocolate
Chopped nuts
Mix cream cheese and vanilla. Add powdered sugar, a little at a time, until you can
form small balls without sticking to your hands. Put balls on tray. Place in refrigerator
until light crust forms. Dip in melted chocolate and roll in ground peanuts.

May I please have the recipe for Publix Breakfast Bread.

Hello Sandy,
The "real" recipe is NOT available, of course. Below are two copycats that I found on
message boards.
Phaed
"Add a tbsp of molasses and use more fruit and walnuts:"
Breakfast Bread (Like Publix)
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water, about 105 to 110 degrees F
1/3 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dark raisins
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1/4 cup dried currants
melted butter
In a large mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water.
Melt the 1/3 cup butter in a small saucepan. Add the milk and heat until warm, about 110 degrees F.
Combine milk mixture with yeast mixture, the sugar, salt, eggs, and 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup
bread flour.
Soak dried fruit pieces in either hot water or liquor for about 10 minutes. If you do not do this,
the dried fruit will suck the moisture out of your bread, and you don`t want that!
Beat on low speed of mixer until blended and smooth. Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes in a
warm place.
Stir in the raisins, apricots and currants. Beat in remaining flour, about 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time.
Place dough hook on mixer (or knead by hand) until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Divide in half and shape each half into a 12x8-inch oval loaf. Brush each loaf with melted butter.
Place in a large greased baking sheet and let rise for 40 minutes. Breads should be almost doubled.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on rack.

Hey!
Just love your site and enjoying looking and trying some of the old recipes;
What my husband and I are looking for is a recipe for a hamburger we use to get when
we first married. It was made at a small grocery store in Mississippi and it was very
flavorful,kinda like a dough burger, you could get anything you wanted on it. Tasted
like it had moisten bread crumbs,maybe some chicken broth and garlic or lawry's in it.
We figure it will just about impossible to find a similarlr recipe as we have looked the
net over(we think)
Anything close will do
Thanks Kim
Hi Kim,
Do you recall the name of the grocery store?

Yes but its still open I think one is in Oxford and the other main one is in Holly Springs
and the reciepe is top secret they say. Phillip Grocery and the burger is the Phillips Burger.
If you can't find it something similar is just as good. I have tried to recreate these at home
and have come close by using a few tablespoons of self rising flour,water or chicken broth and
a little lawerys season salt,but it still not theirs. When we lived in Kentucky for 5 years I
was pregnant with my second daughter and I craved these everyday.
Thanks Again

Hi Kim,
Doughburgers are popular in North Mississippi. Phillips Grocery seems to be nationally famous,
but Corinth has "slugburgers" (even a "slugburger festival"), and Tupelo used to have "Dudie's
Diner",which was famous for (ahem) "Dudieburgers", and Tupelo still has "Johnnie's Drive-In BBQ",
which offers"Johnnieburgers." I had a Johnnieburger just yesterday! They're all varieties of
"doughburgers". The differences lie in what sort of "extender" is used and the spices added.
This sort of burger is said to have originated during the Great Depression as a way to stretch
the meat, and then stayed around because doughburgers are tasty in their own right. Mixing
breadcrumbs with ground beef was another way to stretch a small amount of ground beef for burgers
or meatloaf, and it's still a part of many recipes, too. Various things may be used as hamburger
"extenders": flour, bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, soybean meal ( AKA "textured vegetable protein"),
potato flour, etc.
The Phillips Grocery recipe is top secret. I had no success at all in finding what's in a
Phillips burger other than some flour. The spices are a mystery. I did find a couple of
doughburger recipes. See below.
Phaed
There's another recipe here: Meal Planning with Connie
Doughburgers
Use 1/2 cup flour per pound of ground beef.
Crumble the ground beef in a bowl and add a little water to moisten it. Add the flour and
mix well. The mixture should be dry rather than gooey. If you added to much water, add more
flour a little at a time until it's the right consistency. Mix it well.
Lay out a piece of wax paper, make patties and place on it. Place another piece of waxed
paper on top of the pattes and use pressure to flatten them. The finished patties should
be bun-sized and thin, about 3/8 of an inch thick. Fry in hot grease until brown and crispy,
turning once.
--------------------------------------
doughburger recipe
1 lb hamburger
1 cup flour
1 tablespoons cavenders greek seasoning
pinch salt black pepper to taste
water to mix
mix all dry ingredients with meat then slowly add water you dont want mix to be too thick
but you dont want it too thin there is no way to actually tell how much water to use so
just mix until mixture will spoon in to hot skillet with a small amount of oil in the
skillet to start them frying take a fork an spread the mix into the size burger you want
cook till brown on both sides try one burger if it tears ups when you flip it then you
may need to add a bit more flour as mix is too thin.
