As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.
This week’s recipe is great if you need a cake but are conveniently out of two crucial ingredients – eggs and milk. The catch: you’ll need Miracle Whip to bind the dry ingredients together. Add this to the list of mayonaisse cakes – according to the recipe, this one is ‘very good.’
Our rediscovery of this book last year has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.
If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
