How to Enjoy Old Fashion Comfort Food at its Best!

In these difficult times for many people worldwide, we seem to want comfort even from our food.  Here are some old fashion comfort food recipes that are sure to remind you of home, grandma, and comfort.  Baked Chicken 'N Butter and Cream is comfort at its best!  However, in today's society we often use boneless skinless pieces of chicken.  In that case, you would need to reduce baking time considerably.  And who doesn't remember the wonderful Waldorf Salad served at the family dinners of their childhood?  And speaking of comfort, we can't leave out chocolate; Miz Effie's Sour Cream Chocolate Cake!


BAKED CHICKEN 'N BUTTER AND CREAM

1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
1 frying chicken, cut-up
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Soak chicken in tap water. In a shallow bowl or pie pan, mix the flour, salt, paprika, and pepper. Remove chicken pieces from water, shake off excess and roll in the flour mixture. Place chicken pieces, skin side down, into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Dot the chicken with the butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Mix the hot water and dry milk powder together until smooth. Pour over chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour 15 minutes longer, until chicken is tender.


ETHEL'S WALDORF SALAD

2 cups diced unpared red apples
2 tbsps lemon juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup broken walnuts
1/2 cup seedless raisins
lettuce leaves for presentation

About 1 hour before serving time;
1. In a medium bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Refrigerate.
2. Just before serving, remove from refrigerator and add celery, rest of the mayonnaise, broken walnuts, and the raisins. Mix together well and serve on 4 salad plates. Place lettuce leaves on plate and top lettuce with the Waldorf salad.

Yields 4 servings.


MIZ EFFIE'S SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE CAKE

I have no idea who Miz Effie was.

2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsps baking soda
2 cups sugar
pinch salt
3 tbsps cocoa
2 cups sour cream
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift the flour, sugar, salt, cocoa. Add cream, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well and pour into large 9x13 pan that has been greased and floured. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

FROSTING:

2 1/2 cups sugar
2 tbsps cocoa
1 1/2 tbsps white syrup
3/4 cup cream
2 tbsps butter
vanilla

Cook the first 4 ingredients to a soft ball stage. Add butter and vanilla. Cool 45 minutes before beating and pour over cake. Never stir until it has cooled about 45 minutes.

If you milk and have cream, this is an easy and good cake.

Enjoy!
