Hello Mary,

"White hots" is a trade name for a frankfurter sold by Zweigle food. They are different from regular pork, beef, and veal franks in that that don't contain nitrates, which is what gives frankfurters their normal pink or reddish color. They are also a bit spicier than the usual wiener.

You can buy them online at:

New York Deli

and

Zweigles

The thing that makes "white hots" unique is the frankfurters themselves. There's no recipe for "white hots hot dogs." If you mean that you want to buy casings and beef and pork and veal and make your own frankfurters, then I must say that I did not find such a recipe. The franks are apparently imported from Italy. See below for a sauce recipe that I found on a message board.

More info here: Smoking Meat forums, and I found a recipe that I'm posting below.

Meat Sauce for Rochester White Hots

1/2 lb. ground beef
1 tablespoon minced onions, plus
extra for garnishing dogs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of crushed thyme leaves
1 1/4 cups water

1. Place the beef, 1 tablespoon of the onions, the paprika, black pepper, 
chili powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, salt and thyme leaves in a small 
saucepan. Pour water over all, and mix well. Place saucepan over low heat, 
cover, and cook for 11/2 hours; the mixture should be very slowly simmering 
during that time.

2. Remove cover from saucepan. Simmer very slowly for another 11/2 hours. 
When the time is up, the meat sauce should be a thin gravy, a little watery, 
not dried out.
Makes enough for 8 hot dogs

You're truly doing the divine's work!

I think Rochester NY was always the epicenter of the White Hot, but I grew up 
near Albany NY in the 60s and we had White Hots here throughout my youth, 
made by Tobin's First Prize, a long gone local/regional brand. 
(who I believe invented the White Hot).

They started getting harder to find in the early 80s, then First Prize changed 
the name to “Whites”; I suppose they must have worried people would think 
they were spicy. I assume the original name White Hot was in contrast to 
Red Hot, but that term for a hot dog died out around here before my childhood. 
By the 90s White Hots were gone, and then so was First Prize.

I don't know about Zweigle's (that’s only available in stores in Buffalo apparently), 
but for the Albany area at least, in the early 2000s I became aware of Hofmann’s 
"Snappy Grillers" which taste exactly like the White Hots of my youth. 
They make them either with skins or skinless. 

I believe White Hots are off-white because of the veal, or because of milk or 
dairy powder. They are very mild and much better than hot dogs (IMHO of course). 
Hope this helps!

  My mother used to make cookie bars from a Pillsbury cookbook back 
  in the mid 70's.  I've tried my hardest to find the receipe but I 
  cannot, I need help.  I do know that it was made in cookie pan, a 
  can of crescent rolls spread in pan, possibly brown sugar, and  
  chocolate chips, and I think carmel ice cream topping.  
  I would appreciate your help. 

Hello Lou Ann,

The one I found doesn't call for caramel ice cream topping, but it seems right otherwise. You can always add the topping if you wish.

Hello Sandy,

Below is the recipe that I find everywhere for "apple breakfast bread". Perhaps it's the cinnamon, sugar, and butter that make the crusty top?

Phaed

Apple Breakfast Bread

2 c Flour
1 ts Salt
2 tb Brown sugar
3/4 c Milk
1 ts Cinnamon
2 tb Melted butter or butter substitute
3 Apples
4 ts Baking powder
4 tb Shortening
2 c Chopped raisins
1 Egg, well beaten
2 tb Brown sugar


Sift flour, measure, and sift with baking powder, salt, and sugar. 
Cut in shortening and add raisins. Add sufficient milk to which egg 
has been added to make a stiff dough. Mix thoroughly. Pour into 
well-oiled shallow pan. Brush dough with melted butter. Pare, quarter, 
and core apples and cut in thin slices. Arrange in rows in the dough, 
allowing edges to overlap. Brush apples with more melted butter and 
sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar which have been mixed together. 
Bake in moderate oven (400 degrees F) 20 minutes or until apples are 
tender. 9 servings.
