Recipes from Old Kentucky 
Mrs. John Land Tells How to Cook Delicacies 
American Agricu turist, February 23, 1^4 
J N the days of our grandfathers, 
before the time of ice cream and soda 
water, many a thrifty woman of the 
Kentucky hills baked big, fat ginger 
cookies for her husband to take to town, 
along with a jug of cider, to sell on court 
days and at election time. 
Here is the recipe for old-fashioned 
gingerbread: 
1 cup sorghum (or molasses) 
Y cup lard or a little more of 
butter 
1 or 2 eggs 
Y cup sour milk 
2 level teaspoons soda 
1 tablespoon ground ginger 
2 teaspoons allspice if liked 
Flour to make medium stiff dough 
These cookies were cut to the size and 
shape of the old-fashioned “blue-backed” 
speller and baked in a moderate oven. 
Corn syrup may be used instead of 
sorghum, but at least a half cup of sugar 
must be added to the recipe. 
Fried Chicken, Kentucky Style 
Chickens for frying may be from a 
pound and a quarter in weight to twice 
that size. The younger, tender ones 
have the most delectable flavor. 
Clean and singe. Cut into joints and 
if large divide the larger, thicker pieces 
Salt to suit family taste and roll each 
piece in flour or meal or a mixture of 
each. Put a generous amount of lard or 
bacon fat in an iron skillet—you may 
call it a spider. Allow it to become hot 
enough to send off a smoke and then 
put the pieces of chicken in. Let brown 
well and turn. Add a tablespoonful or 
more of butter and leave the lid off until 
the other side has browned well. Then 
put the lid on and push to the back of the 
stove. 
When ready to dish up, remove to 
hot platter and add a tablespoonful or 
more of flour to a part of the fat. Add 
milk or cold water as preferred to make 
gravy of the desired consistency and 
serve in a boat with the chicken. 
Com Bread 
There are more ways than one of 
making Kentucky corn bread, but one 
Allow fifteen or twenty minutes to 
each pound the ham weighs, according 
to the tenderness when cooking begins. 
A good test is to remove the cover when 
time is up and if the skin seems to be 
drawn up and pulled away from the ham 
it is done, if not the cover should be re¬ 
placed and more time allowed. 
When well done the ham should be 
removed from the liquor and skinned. 
A thick layer of finely crushed cracker 
crumbs and brown sugar should be spread 
over the fat side. Whole cloves 1 are 
stuck into the ham—in regular patterns 
or designs if desired. Return to the oven 
and allow the coating to melt slightly 
and to brown. 
Hams prepared in this manner are less 
trouble than when boiled on the top of 
the stove and are also more delicious, as 
all the juices are retained. 
Whole hams are not an extravagance 
during cold weather or when one has a 
suitable cool place to store. Even the 
odds and ends may be turned into a 
salad, served in cream sauce, and other 
ways the thrifty cook will devise.- 
t 
Sweet Potato Pie 
2 cups sweet potato pulp (canned 
potatoes may be used) 
\Y cups milk 
Y cup sugar 
Grated nutmeg to suit taste 
Yolks of 2 eggs 
2 tablespoonfuls soft butter 
Pastry for shells 
Boil or steam potatoes till tender then 
wash until no lumps remain. Add other 
ingredients in order given and mix well. 
Pour into unbaked shells and bake in 
moderate oven until set and browned 
slightly. Cover with meringue made 
from the egg whites sweetened and 
flavored to taste. Return to cool oven 
until browned. 
Vegetable Soup or “Burgoo” 
Here is my own version of the far- 
famed “Burgoo” found even now at an 
occasional barbecue or served at land 
sales and other times of large gatherings 
in our Blue Grass State. Of course fresh 
products are best but even when canned 
thing to remember is that we do not use vegetables are used in the winter time. 
sugar in the making. 
Plain corn bread is made by mixing 
sifted meal in a stiff batter with water, 
cold or hot, as preferred. Salt may be 
added also if desired. Bake on a lightly 
greased griddle inside the stove or as a 
“hoe cake” on top. The older genera¬ 
tions served this with vegetables and 
pronounced it far ahead of bread made 
with milk and eggs. 
it’s “mighty good.” 
A bone may be provided especially, 
or the bones and remnants from a beef 
or mutton roast or even pork roast, or a 
boiled or baked ham may be used. 
• The following ingredients are added 
to four pints of stock. The quantities 
may be increased or diminished as 
desired. (I frequently make enough to 
last two days, as it is not injured in the 
Corn dodgers are made by using salt, least by setting overnight in a cool place 
soda, buttermilk and shortening with and reheating in the morning.) 
meal enough to make a dough. The 
dodgers are shaped with the hands and 
placed far enough apart not to touch. 
The cook always leaves the imprint of 
her fingers on each cake. Bake in a 
moderate oven. 
These dodgers are at their best about 
hog-killing time served with fresh meats, 
potatoes, etc. Half a. cup of fresh crack¬ 
lings may be added for variety. 
Egg bread is made by using a teaspoon¬ 
ful of salt, a half teaspoonful of soda and 
an egg for each cup of buttermilk, with 
enough sifted meal to make a medium 
batter. This is baked in muffin rings, an 
iron skillet or a dripping pan. 
Spoon bread is made by making the 
egg-bread batter quite thin so that it 
may be eaten with a spoon. It resembles 
a thick custard in appearance. 
Baked Ham, Kentucky Style 
Soak a whole ham for several hours, 
scrape and clean well. When ready to 
cook put into a double pan such as is 
used for roasting turkey. Turn with the 
2 cu]5S tomatoes—it isn’t burgoo 
without them! _ 
4 or 5 medium sized white potatoes 
cut into small bits 
2 cups finely chopped cabbage 
1 cup corn added about ten minutes 
before serving time 
2 medium sized onions put in just, 
in time to be well cooked 
A generous dash of cayenne or black 
pepper 
Small quantities of left-over vege¬ 
tables or cereals may be added to 
the soup pot. 
SUBSTITUTE FOR^WHIPPED 
CREAM 
C REAM for whipping is sometimes diffi¬ 
cult to secure. A very satisfactory 
substitute consists of an apple, or banana, 
and white of an egg. Grate the apple or 
the other fruit, add two or three table¬ 
spoons of sugar, and then add the white 
skin side up so the fat and juices may of the egg, well beaten. Stir in the grated

enough water in the pan to half cover the stirred in. Beat all together until of a
