Cheese Straws & Advertising History

[@susieq2544]

I was just thinking, I have to go to the loo. So on pause you go.

[@racheldiederich838]

My grandmother put a recipe for potato sausage in the church cookbook. She forgot to add the potatoes in the recipe.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It happens lol

[@bscrimbitt9359]

Rubbing butter and lard into flour means to end up with pea sized pieces. I use my pastry cutter. Some people use a couple knives. This prevents the heat of your hands from melting it. Then add water to make into dough like substance which can be rolled out

[@nancypritchett1159]

One of the things I love about old recipe books are the advertisements and the tips. One of my old books said if you have very dark hair, use a eyebrow pencil to highlight your widow’s peak. Also if your teeth are crooked, don’t use red lipstick!

[@robertabear8535]

I use to watch my great grandma work her bread, biscuits and such, and she never measured a thing, just handful of this and a pinch of that. Always used a wood stove, and boy could that woman cook! Some of those old recipes are the very best of the best! These look awesome!

[@rosejarman6920]

If you have a cookie press try that net time. My recipe calls for 1 1/2 soften unsalted butter, 1 lb of cheddar cheese to 4 cups flour. spices you got right The cookie press works great that is how we made them in Michigan growing up and that's how they make them here South Georgia. Try that see if you like it that way most everything is the same.

[@shellbell72]

I love this new series!

[@joellewatkins5528]

When you mentioned magic baking power. Then I pulled my old Royal backing powder cook book from the late 1920's. They also have a cheese straw recipe. they are so different: one cup of each flour and cheese , 1 teaspoon baking powder and then spices, mix in a bowl add 3 tablespoons milk and one egg. roll to 1/8 inch cut thin narrow strips. bake for ten at 450F

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Can you e-mail me that recipe? and the Date of the book? [e-mail]

[@Justme0243]

Love the history of Zam Buk. Because I still buy Zam Buk in my country

[@09echols]

I kept saying 2 cups of flour. I'm glad you figured it out

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

lol

[@garnettemorgan7355]

Thank you so much for the video that cheese straws. Have not seen them in years. ❤️❤️❤️😀

[@craftsbeautyandlife5163]

I haven't made cheese straws since the 70s. Geez those were delicious. I loved learning to cook from my grandmothers old recipes.

[@lisamartin3346]

Somebody - Harry and David? - sold these. Don’t know how they tasted.

[@mytinyretirement]

How INTERESTING! I just love browsing through old cookbooks. Hahahaha...hey, we all have to visit sometime! Thanks for sharing this, what a great experience.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

yup!

[@victoriataylor2594]

Grandma taught me to rub. Put your Hans in the dough catching some between your hands. Then rub together like you ate putting hand lotion on. ❤

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thanks!

[@northwoodsmama4973]

I've discovered oiling my hands lightly for sticky dough actually works better than flour. I'm not sure why I thought to try it, but it works great if you have the right flour to wet ratio. Love the recipe box recipes! I recently experienced the joy of blanching and freezing my own asparagus, and some food pantry fresh green beans (score!). Then, a day later (today), I pulled them and bagged them and they shook around just like the grocery store frozen veggies! So awesome. They will stay in my fridge freezer for a quick grab. I prefer cooking with frozen and fresh. I am working pantry veg into the rotation, but change takes time.

[@susananderson9619]

I'd add just a lil bit of dry mustard, it goes so well in Welsh Rarebit, Mac and cheese etc...

[@lclukiv4192]

Just stumbled onto your channel Find you very entertaining and informative keep up the good work Im 84 can recall mom making cakes like this cheers

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you! Welcome to the family!

[@lclukiv4192]

Ps I’m texting from 🇨🇦 cheers and blesses

[@theresaraddatz-melancon9334]

I’m loving the recipe box !!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@carolcrudder7864]

I LOVE old cookbooks. Actually cookbooks are about the only books I like to read. I can’t wait to try these. Maybe add a teaspoon of salt? Thanks again for a great recipe! God bless!

[@debbiealtman4572]

Loved it. Old recipes are fun to make

[@mawmaw1833]

Simply amazing!I have a lot of my family recipes!treasures!!

[@karenwest5912]

Miss Bev, try rolling out the dough thinner, up the oven temperature to 375-400 depending on how slow your oven runs. Maybe the straws will crispy up like crackers or chips. Also, a sprinkle of sea salt and or garlic or onion powder. Just a thought . Making me a list of needing to try. What’s next😁

[@shirleymurphy1958]

I know old recipes can be hard too figure out and this one was. But you did a good job. I laugh at times .

[@audreynanapreps2543]

Cheese straws are certainly an old southern recipe for holidays. Love them

[@melboe6842]

Usually with a little cayenne pepper. But really, you need the butter. I'm all about lard, but this application is not as good as the butter.

[@fyrekrystaal27]

I remember watching another KZbin channel English Heritage Mres. Crocombe making cheese straws.

[@fyrekrystaal27]

I made a mistake. The recipe I was thinking about is called cheese sermons.

[@starr3099]

Those look good. 😍 I like the way you experiment with the recipe by adding flour, etc. The advertisers also. I am enjoying this whole recipe box. It is fun and delicious 😋. God bless you and your family ❣️

[@SolitaryFairyHomestead]

gonna have to try this in the near future.

[@MsSarah999]

rubbing in is the same as cutting in - like a pastry. so the lard was prolly supposed to be cold like a pie crust.

[@debbyatwell7851]

looks good

[@kimsolomon7347]

What about you garlic sauce...omg to die for

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

OH HO HO HO!!!!

[@wedbeebuzznhawaii8623]

Un”beelievable”, Bev! Those looked so delicious 😋 Thank you for sharing food history with us! 💕✌️🐾

[@louisepatteson9652]

I really enjoyed that video, I shared it on my FB

[@shudleston7434]

That turned out really nice!

[@terryhenderson424]

Old recipies had you rub rather than cut in flour into solid fats. Often as much between thumb and forefinger as any other way.

[@pamelacourtney8998]

Yum yum . Another winner . Gonna make these. Thanks Bev. Blessings to all ❤

[@lucydiazcolon734]

Thank you so much for sharing love. I appreciate you. Looks like maybe some baking powder is needed.

[@cheril7221]

I love all your videos this new series is so amazing I love seeing recipes from the past and love the history you put with it.

[@집밥-mukbang]

오래된 광고도 새롭고 이색적인 반죽도 대단해요^^ 베브의 응용력도 최고에요 부드러운 치즈스틱 맛이 궁금해 져요 레시피 영상 최고!!!

[@anniekochera]

The reason that you might not be having times and temperatures for baking, is that back then most people still used wood burning cookstoves and ovens. And temperatures were kind of done by waving a hand in the oven to see if it was 'warm enough yet'. And then the time table was done by rotating the baking items often and at some point it would 'look and smell' done, and then testing when pulling it out of the oven. That's what my grandma did, and I've done with wood burning stoves and ovens.

[@gibsongirl6816]

I just love this series Bev. And love your heart for sharing this! I feel like we are stepping back in time and although it was hard, for me right now it is wonderful! It is a much welcome gift! And soo helpful to learn how to use simple foods! God Bless!

[@autumngypsie4280]

Those look so good can't wait to make them for movies tomorrow night with the granddaughters 💜 I should say for them to make them lol

[@darrabeard5933]

I love your recipes do you still have one of your cookbooks left to sell

[@annettesaxman248]

Your blessed to have those recipes

[@SuperPetra101]

Zambuk us still used in South Africa today. Its very popular and it helps

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

unfortunately they are now owned by BAYER...who bought out MONSANTO!

[@terryhenderson424]

When butter started to get more expensive a number of years ago, I finally found some lard on a store shelf. At that time, it was 1/4th the cost of butter. Due to demand, the cost is proportionately much closer to butter, FAR easier to find, and its price varies a lot per unit from store or store chain to store. It cooks different than butter and it seems that being cool to cold before hitting the hot oven is more important with lard than butter. It also doesn't turn golden like butter so judging doneness by a glance takes an adjustment. Use 50-50 lard and butter mix, an egg wash, egg yolk wash, or a swish of the butter stick across the top in the last minutes of baking to get a golden look.

[@debbiekoortzen1154]

We still use Zam Buk ointment in South Africa, It is a great ointment.

[@meadowview300]

They go really well with tomato soup. Yours looks delicious!

[@return2basics242]

Reminds me of tossing those goldfish crackers in tomato soup

[@quackerfarm1234]

After you roll those out you could cut them into like crackers instead of making and making them into straws

[@ladyhawthorne1]

Like cheez-its!

[@catheyclarke2132]

My mum use to let use make them For treats but brush them with egg And Pepper yummiest xxxx😋😋😋

[@terryhenderson424]

This is only the second installment I've seen in this series and I'm really enjoying it!

[@ediemurray1692]

Ty

[@laurenpiantino8312]

You nailed it, Hon, despite there being no listing for the flour in the recipe; but then we all knew you would. I'm gonna try this recipe, so thanks so much for sharing it. :) Oh, forgot to add: The introductory music to the video almost made me cry; I don't know why, but it was so beautiful. :)

[@Brookeloun]

Wonderful series! Thank you

[@miasgirls3778]

❤️❤️❤️

[@JoanetteDrosteWader]

Thanks for the recipe! I’ll be trying these this weekend!

[@susieq2544]

Stickier because of the heat of your hands.

[@sherryleach2995]

My mom would sprinkle cheese on leftover pie dough twist and bake or cinnamon sugar was a treat for us. Thanks Bev for another Aunt Audrey's recipe box video much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

[@mindypatriotangel6064]

I'm gonna have to try and make those, they look tasty!

[@cathygainge3033]

Nana (born 1889) - ingredients only; Mum (born 1927) - ingredients and hot/medium/slow oven; Me (born 1952) - ingredients, temperature and how long to cook.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Exactly?? We have become so ridig in our instructions...but hey I am having FUN!

[@debiscooking9770]

I love it!!! Thanks for sharing! 👩‍🍳

[@catheyclarke2132]

Hi rub in is with your fingertips lol xx😅

[@faukerconsulting835]

🤗YUMMY👍🏻...BUT, did Little Miss Gracie approve??🐕

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Not Only She did? But Howie took about five of them to work with small cubes of cheese! HE LOVED it!

[@mtnwoodsy2632]

HOMEMADE IS ALWAYS BETTER TRY CUTTING THEM LIKE THIN NOODLES IN THE PASTA CUTTER, THEN TWISTING THEM.. A PERSON COULD MAKE THESE AHEAD, CUT AND TWIST THEM, AND FREEZING THEM. THEN EACH BATCH WOULD BE FRESHER TASTING. I AGREE WITH MOMMIE-KINS...PEOPLE WERE USING WOOD COOKSTOVES.

[@mneff69]

I looked up recipes on line and they said 4 cups flour to 1 1/2 butter. No water. The water and lard reminds me of my great aunts pie dough recipe. Sounds good. 👍❤💋✌🙏🇺🇸

[@niascheiber]

You’re just GREAT! I love watching u explore for us 🤓👩‍🍳 Thanks Bev 🤗

[@sheliajones8238]

They look good to me dip them in some pizza sauce and there you go or ranch dressing or any kind of dressing you can dip them in sounds good Mrs Wolfie

[@Myfavorites877]

Looks yummy Bev. 😋

[@ebbyiggy]

They look really good!!!

[@robyndowning2990]

Thanks for sharing this old recipe and so glad you added 2 cups of flour. Did you have a distinctive stronger cheese taste or was it more mild?

[@mrs.lonestarpioneering7305]

💜

[@brendahere]

Sounds really. I'm curious how they would taste over time. Right now it's just hubby and I in the house. Many baked good taste great the first few hours. Not so great after the first, second and third day. While I'm sure my hubby would eat all in one day, I really would not want him to. I'm wondering if they are okay 3 days from now or should I divide by a third.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I ate some cold last night and how he's taking some in his lunch today with some pieces of cheese

[@hollynelson543]

Maybe roll on a pencil.

[@onegrlindawrld6297]

[@wingwalker2458]

Hey this does not pertain to this video but, I just came across a video that you might be interested in. I know you have fibromyalgia and a KZbin channel I watch had a video on it. KenBerryMD is the channel and the name of the video is called "Fibromyalgia research study suppressed "

[@tinkerdee5923]

Yummy 😋
