1 ½ cups cooked mashed carrots
⅔ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
1 ½ cups sweet milk

Hand Pies: Madern Apple Turnovers

We’re partnering with Chef Erica and her platform Funny People Making Food to revisit and modernize recipes from The Little House Cookbook, a beautifully written and illustrated collection of recipes culled from the Little House books, and by Barbara M. Walker.

In this episode, Chef Erica & Melissa Gilbert make ‘Hand Pies’ just like Ma would have on the prairie. Some Modern Prairians may call them ‘Apple Turnovers’ – but either way we call them delicious!

Made with love and filled with nostalgia, hand pies were more than just a delightful treat. They were practical, easy to make, and perfect for life on the prairie. Ma would whip up a batch using simple ingredients she had on hand, creating warm, flaky pockets of goodness. Whether filled with sweet or savory fillings, these little pies were a cherished part of pioneer life.

The hand pies in the video are filled with dried apples, because on the prairie there would only be seasonal fruit, and with no refrigeration and limited cold storage, drying fruit and other foods was the preferred method of preservation along with salting and smoking. Chef Erica offers tips in her blog ( for baking with dried fruits… including an option to soak them in alcohol!

The Yankee Kitchen: Measuring Flour

Yankee Magazine blogger Aimee Seavey makes her debut in the Yankee Kitchen with tips on how to properly measure flour.

1912 'Fannie Farmer' Littleton Spider Corn Cake Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends

1912 'Fannie Farmer' Littleton Spider Corn Cake Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends
Today we are making a corn cake recipe (how is that different than a corn bread recipe?) from the 1912 Fannie Farmer cookbook. This is also known as a New England Spider Cake / New England Skillet Corn Cake - possibly because of the type of cast iron pot it was originally cooked in. Though others say the name stems from the spider web of milk baked into it.


Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups corn meal
1/3 cup flour
1 cup sour milk
1 teaspoon soda
2 eggs
2 cups sweet milk
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons butter


Method:
Mix and sift corn meal and flour and add sour milk mixed with soda, eggs, well beaten, one half the sweet milk, sugar, and salt.
Heat an iron frying pan, add butter, and, when melted, turn in mixture.
Pour over remaining milk and bake in a hot oven.
Cut in pie shaped pieces for serving.

*I used an oven that was 375ºF and cooked for about 45 minutes.
