RANCH PUDDING - This is AMAZING! Cooking the Books

Same thought about "Ranch" We are so used to everthing being ranch flavored these days lol

Growing up in the 50's, 60's....Bisquick was a staple in my aunt's cooking and baking. I've used it myself. Lots of happy family memories. How did we exist without Betty Crocker.❤😊

I realize it is a year later, but hopefully you will get this question. How is this stored? With that much liquid/syrup, does it need to be refridgerated? It sounds amazing.

I wonder if the gluten-free formulation would work with these…

This channel is just so darn cute and fun! I love that you’re resurrecting these recipes… I would love to try some! And you don’t need lots of fancy equipment. ❤

It's a take off on "Pudding Au Chomeur" which translates to "poor man's pudding". It's legit. :)

It would be great over vanilla icecream.

This is a pudding cake. Duncan Hines or somebody used to carry a chocolate one and a lemon one in stores. I have a from scratch chocolate one that I make occasionally, and I saw Nigella make a sticky toffee one on her show once. The chocolate one is DIVINE with ice cream. You know, for that matter, my peach cobbler recipe where you pour the peaches over the batter is like this, too.

Figgy pudding, is probably close to that recipe.

😋 ❤

I tried the pudding bisquick cookies years ago, I thought they were gross.

This is already put on my 'must make' list for next month's grocery run. Thank you! i came for the recipes but am really loving the book chat. Maybe a mini Bisquick series to use up the box we are gonna buy asap? Southern Living says "The product has been updated since its launch, adding buttermilk and more shortening, to create a fluffier and lighter texture. "

Sounds like Sticky Date Pudding

So real talk... I clicked because I read the title and was like 1000% sure that ranch dressing was involved. Glad I was wrong.

When I measure any dry ingredients like flower, sugar, cornmeal, Bisquick, etc. I placed my measuring cup on a paper plate, then I can overfill the cup and smooth it off with a knife, and fold the paper plate in half and pour the extra back in the container.

So that's what this is called, I have not had it in years, but we added a chopped apple. I don't know why but we called it chipmunk pudding.

This is the most excited I’ve seen you get over a recipe! I have to try it now 😂

I'm an avid cookbook collector and professional food historian, and I just wanted to let you know that those are actually photographs! Love your channel, keep it up! ❤

I agree with you about the challenge of measuring Bisquick from the box 😕

This dessert is something my Mother would have loved. She loved anything made with brown sugar. I'm surprised she didn't come across that recipe since she often made things with Bisquick and made chocolate and lemon pudding cakes-yum!

It's like a 50s version British sticky date pudding.

The difference between original Bisquick and New Bisquick is that new has more buttermilk and shortening to make the finished product fluffier.

Measure without making a mess? Yes, but not with a full box. Also the box gets misshapen.

Did Bisquick use partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil back in the day? As in “big source of trans fats “?

The inventor used lard. Nowadays it’s palm oil and Bisquick isn’t supposed to have trans fats, but for a good while…

But didn't you say that the you were halving the recipe? So there's so much sauce afterwards, right? No?

This is what is called a pudding cake, although the sauce is much thinner than usual.

I have the same cookbook… It has a lot of goodies in it.

maybe like a self-saucing pudding!!

I love old cookbooks too. ❤

My mom used Bisquick for biscuits for strawberry shortcake, her wonderful blueberry muffins. Many memories there.

Looks like a cross between fruit cake, flan and brownie

I made this and it is so good. I used craisins and the tartness went well against the brown sugar sauce. I think I'm going to add some orange zest next time. Thank you for sharing.

...is the photo style some kind of rotoscoping? It's like...tracing photos for use in animation. Maybe just a really detailed, immobile rotoscoped image?

You are a pleasure to listen to.

You can made scones out of Bisquick.

So sad that I actually fell for the bisquick sell. Later when I learned (taught myself) to cook from scratch, I realized how much I was overspending for bisquick to make what I could’ve made from regular flour and baking powder! I grew up with bisquick in the pantry purchased by my non cooking mother. She had meals that we rotated for our family growing up. She also was a product of the post-war “prepared food generation”. But when I got married and was a new clueless cook, I used to make the impossible pie. And I tried it again years later when I had kids. They all loved it.

In Australia, we call this style of dessert a “self saucing pudding”. You should try the chocolate one…so good! 😋

I imagine ranch dressing in the 50s didn’t have all the chemicals found in today’s product.

Those "little" cookbooks were generally given to schools for Home Economic students. I have lots of them from past family members, I love them. They were an advertisement gimmick. I have some that date back to the 1930's, three of which were my mother-in-law's.

I love old cookbooks, especially from the 1950's and 60's, when I would look them over with my Mom. Now I collect the little cookbooks from book sales.

I have this booklet! Born in 1955 I grew up on bisquick...Mom made orange biscuits with frozen OJ and added some sugar to the mix. So yummy! My booklet is not in as good a condition as yours but I've used it a lot.

Loved your reaction!❤

She has some big man hands

You do know Betty Crocker is not a real person right?

Bisquick has levening and shortening in it.

My mom had that book and my sister still has it!

I think the pictures are painted cells.

Enjoying all your videos.

I love the Dottie breaks! Do you have any other pets?

This looks yummy!
Always enjoy your videos.

I was truly stunned by the deliciousness of this recipe. Color me surprised!
