I have a German Walnut Bars recipe that may be similar.
Timm in Oregon
German Walnut Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1 pound ground walnuts
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
3 large egg whites
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 200F degrees. Combine the white sugar, ground walnuts, orange zest,
orange juice and 2 egg whites. This mixture will become paste-like and will be very sticky.
Form the paste into a long rectangle on a smooth surface sprinkled with sugar to prevent
sticking. The rectangle should be about 4 x 16 inches.
Mix the remaining egg white with the confectioners' sugar. You may need to add water or
additional powdered sugar to form a paste that can be easily spread but is not runny.
Spread the frosting over the rectangle. Use a knife covered with sugar to cut the sheet into
small 1 x 2 inch bars and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at the bars 200F degrees
for about 35 minutes or until the frosting is hard but still white.

Hi Uncle Phaedrus,
I absolutely love great ranch dressing, and my favorite ranch is from Snuffer's Restaurant
(in Dallas) and also Wing Stop (all over). Do you think you could find a copycat recipe from
either of these places? I would love to be able to make it at home since I have never found
a store bought ranch that compares. These are great! Thank you for any help you are able to provide.
Sincerely,
Abby
Hello Abby,
This is the only recipe that I can find.

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
1 tbsp. parsley
1 tsp. dill weed
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
Mix the ingredients together until smooth.

the recipe for morrison's pepper steak in the 2008 archives is missing some measurements.
Here is the recipe for 80 servings using an 8 oz ladle
15 lbs cooked roast beef -- no gristle or fat. cut into 3" x 1/2 inch thick strips put in
roasting pan and add 5 oz soy sauce and 2 tablespons garlic salt. (note: if using beef base
for au jus later in recipe, use garlic powder or granulated garlic). Toss until mixed and
marinate overnight in refrigerator.
10 lbs bell pepper, cut into strips
5 lbs onions, cut into strips
2 cups oil
Stir fry for 3 - 5 minutes. should be crisp. do not overcook.Set aside
3 gallons of au jus. See note about beef base. Bring to boil.
1 lb cornstarch
1 qt cold water
Mix until smooth
Take roasting pan with 7 lbs beef and add peppers and onions then gravy. Reserve remainder
of onions and peppers for garnish. Add corn starch (note: this sounds like a lot of corn starch,
this may need to be toned down)

Serve with 8 oz ladle over white rice. add a portion of bell pepper and onion on top of serving.
