Subject: Clifton's Buttermilk Biscuits
I am looking for the buttermilk biscuit recipe from Clifton's in the
Lakewood and Brookdale locations ...family favorites from my childhood,
well into the days of my own kids! They had a taste and texture like
none I've had since! Hope you can find it!

Hello Tory,
Sorry, I had no success locating this recipe from Clifton’s Cafeteria in California. I’ll post this. Perhaps a reader can help.

Subject: Tea cakes
Hi, I just found your wonderful website and was so glad. I have been
looking for a particular recipe for over a decade. The mother of a
man I used to date made what she called tea cakes. But it was not a
cookie. It was a batter that she quickly mixed up in one bowl and
poured in a large, shallow pan. Maybe it was a jelly roll pan.
Once it was baked, she cut it into squares while it was still warm.
They were soft and sweet and slightly chewy and thin. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Stephanie
Hello Stephanie,
That’s not much to go on, but below are a couple of possibilities.

English Tea Cakes
1 cake or pkg. dry yeast (or compressed)
1/2 c. scalded milk
1/4 c. shortening
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg or 2 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
Soften yeast in milk (lukewarm). Add shortening, sugar, egg, salt and
enough flour to make a rather stiff drop batter. Beat until smooth.
Let rise until doubled. Stir down and pour into greased 8 x 8 x 2 pan,
filling pan 1/2 full. Mix topping which consists of 1 tablespoon sugar,
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup chopped nuts,
sprinkle over batter. Let rise until puffy and doubled. Bake in hot
400 degree oven 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 1 tea cake. Cut in squares
and serve with tea.

Tea Cakes
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat egg, shortening and sugar until blended together. Add vanilla,
salt and baking soda. Pour in milk on low speed gradually add flour
until all ingredients are mixed together. Spread dough in an ungreased
oblong pan. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Cut into
squares. Great with walnut included.
=========================================================
Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it very much. I know
her recipe did not contain yeast. The second recipe sounds very similar
to what I remember watching her do. I neglected to tell you I am from
South Mississippi in a very rural area so it would be a simple,
country-folk recipe. I am going to try the second recipe that you sent.
Hope you have a good day.
Stephanie

Subject: Quizno's raspberry chipotle dressing recipe
I love this site, thank you for having it.
I have been looking for the Quizno's raspberry chipotle dressing recipe
for several years. I have found a few on line but they never taste like
the one Quizno's uses. Could you help me with the real thing?
Thank you
Peggy
Hi Peggy,
Finding a recipe like that one is extremely difficult. Since Quizno's is
a large chain, the dressing is most likely not made in the restaurant.
It's most probably made by an outside vendor or at a central Quizno's
facility somewhere. Either way, only people who work at that vendor or at
that central Quizno's facility would know how it's made. It would be made
in large quantities, bottled or packaged and maybe frozen, and then shipped
to the local Quizno's restaurants. This reduces the number of people who
would know the real recipe to a very few, and those few wouldn't give it out.
I had no success finding a recipe that claimed to be Quizno's own, so you are
probably going to have to settle for a copycat. You said you'd tried
some and they weren't right, but you didn't say which ones you'd tried.
The ones that I could find are these:
