Bisquick Coffee Cake with Fruit Cocktail -----Original Message----- From: Lynne Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 8:26 PM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Bisquick box recipe Hi, I'm looking for a recipe that was on the Bisquick box a long time ago (40+ years). One took for granted that such things were permanent because, every box you bought, there it was. Then, one day, it wasn't. I didn't pursue it at the time, which I should have. I times past one could call a company and get a live person who would actually try to answer a request. In today's world you email and get an automated reply. I did email the company, and got no results. This recipe is from way before automation so not in their database, I'm sure. The recipe was for a coffee cake made with fruit cocktail. It was one of the "on-the-box" recipes for Bisquick. It was a family favorite when I was growing up. When I wanted to make it again long after leaving home, the recipe was long gone from the box. Thanks, Lynne Hello Lynne, I spent a lot of time searching for this, but I had no success. I could not find any mention at all that there was ever a coffee cake recipe with fruit cocktail on the Bisquick box. I found a couple of coffee cake recipes that were from the Bisquick box, but neither of them called for fruit cocktail. The most often mentioned one was this one, with a streusel topping: Bon Appetit That recipe is one that was on the Bisquick box for decades until they removed it. The second most often mentioned box recipe was this one, with apples and nuts, but no fruit cocktail: Recipe Link I did find the recipe below on a blog at: Cookpad, but this blogger didn't get it off the Bisquick box, she just made it up out of what she had in her kitchen. I'll post this in case one of my readers might be familiar with what you describe. Phaed Allspice fruit cocktail cake Ingredients 2 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cans fruit cocktail 4 pinches allspice 4 pinches pumpkin spice 6 pinches cinnamon 2 1/2 cup Bisquick, or pancake mix 2 1/2 dash vanilla extract 2 cups powdered sugar 1 stick butter Method Preheat your over to 350°F.

Phaed School Sausage Pizza From: Sarah Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2017 8:30 AM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Foodie Hello, me and a few friends have been craving our school cafeteria sausage pizza. We went to school in Texas, but i also remember the schools in New Mexico serving the same pizza. Can you believe someone actually misses school food??? Haha if you could help me this i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Hello Sarah, School systems buy that kind of pizza frozen from Food Service vendors. There’s no recipe because it’s not made in the cafeteria. There is probably more than one company who makes the pizza for Food Service, but “Tony’s” is the most common one. The picture that you sent with your e-mail is of a slice of “Tony’s Breakfast Sausage Pizza.” You might be able to buy it from Schwan’s.
