Old-World Puff Pancake
My mom told me her mother-in-law showed her how to make this dish (pictured at right), which became popular during the Depression, on their "get acquainted" visit in 1927. At that time, cooks measured ingredients as pinches, dashes and dibs. But through the years, accurate amounts were noted. My wife and I continue to enjoy this dish today, particularly for brunch. —Auton Miller, Piney Flats, Tennessee
Cheddar French Toast with Dried Fruit Syrup
My family loves this warm French toast (pictured below) on cold mornings in the North Carolina mountains where we take our yearly vacation. Each year, I alter the recipe slightly by experimenting with different dried fruits. —Jackie Lintz, Cocoa Beach, Florida
