We all know that some of the very best recipes in our collections come from Mom, so what better inspiration for building a cookbook? This week's spotlight shines on one of our newest titles...we're proud to introduce you to Mom's Very Best Recipes!
Whether she placed you on that tall stool to help mix up pancakes or shared her secret cake frosting recipe on your wedding day, Mom is who started many of us on our paths in the kitchen. Her steady hand and treasured recipes were our inspiration for Mom's Very Best Recipes.
Let's take a look inside...click to view larger.
Of course there are dishes for every meal of the day...Mom can do it all! Here's a sweet recipe from the dessert chapter of Mom's Very Best Recipes. Enjoy it with your family.
Best-Ever Strawberry Shortcake
Shared by Emma Johnson of Lithopolis, Ohio, she writes, "My mom always made this shortcake when our strawberries ripened in early June. She received this recipe from her mother and it has always been a family favorite."
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 c. milk
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
Garnish: sliced strawberries, whipped cream
In a bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth; beat in eggs, vanilla and milk. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; mix well. Spoon batter into a greased 9"x9" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean. Cut shortcake into squares; top with strawberries and whipped cream. Makes 9 servings.
Handy kitchen tips, just like those given to us by Mom, are sprinkled on every page and our signature hand-drawn art recalls simpler times of aprons, recipe cards and Mom's best cake plate. We know it's one you'll want to add to your collection...what a heartfelt gift for a mom you love too!
