Quick Breakfast Rolls

February 21, 2021February 21, 2021 by melissa

1 loaf frozen bread (dough), thawed (or rolls, still frozen)
1 package Cook and Serve butterscotch pudding
1/4 pound of butter (8 Tablespoons/1 stick)

Tear up bread and place it in a 9 x 13 greased pan. Pour the pudding powder evenly over the bread, and place small bits of the butter over the top.
Set in the oven overnight to rise. Do not open oven. Bake at 325° to 350° for 15 minutes.

Melissa’s notes: for things like this, I have found that shredding the butter works really well. You do have to make sure the butter is really cold.
I found this recipe that is much more detailed and has pictures of what this is supposed to look like.

Sweet Potato Casserole

August 25, 2019August 22, 2019 by melissa

(Arley Cookbook)

2 cans sweet potatoes
1/2 cup oleo, softened
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup oleo
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup nuts (optional)

Drain sweet potatoes and crush. Add 1/2 cup oleo, milk, and sugar. Place in a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
Combine the remaining ingredients and top the potato mixture.
Bake at 350° for 50 minutes.

Melissa’s Comments: I thought at first that this was a variation of one of the family favorite holiday recipes, but as I typed it up, I realized we have either been doing it wrong, or this recipe was copied out wrong.
The holiday recipe puts the egg in the sweet potatoes (or yams), not the topping. I think probably the recipe was copied wrong? Beaten egg in the topping seems like it would make kind of a weird quiche texture on top of the mashed sweet potatoes.
