    Y’all are so young! Ranch dressing wasn’t sold in bottles until the mid 1980s. In the 70s it was a packet of seasoning that you would mix with buttermilk at home. I remember the ads where people acted all surprised at liking something with buttermilk in it.

    This episode made me happy cry. My grandma was a child of the depression in an already very poor part of rural Alabama. Since Bisquick was more expensive than plain flour, even once she could have afforded it she couldn't bring herself to spend the extra money. So us grandkids always made sure she got a box of Bisquick at Christians

    I always told my 4-H kids “If the difference between making a pie and not making a pie is using a store-bought crust, BUY THE CRUST. No one who gets a pie is going to say ‘no thanks’ because it’s not entirely homemade!” The photos have been color-enhanced. It gives them a distinct photo/drawing style. Edit: I should clarify and add that the color was most likely added to the plates by hand before printing. I don’t know how. I love the look because it reminds me of my mom and aunt.

    Reminds me a bit of Pouding Chômeur, a dish from Quebec that became very popular in the depression but is still a loved food that is very embedded into our culture 🖤 it is similar but the syrup is usually maple syrup or brown sugar (often it's both) with vanilla and butter. Then you put a cake like batter in the pan, pour the syrup on top and bake. During baking it "flips," meaning the syrup sauce sinks to the bottom as it bakes fully soaking the cake while it caramelizes. To this day Pouding chômer is one of the first things a lot of Canadian kids learn to cook/bake 🖤🖤🖤 This looks good and im glad you enjoyed it

My mother made several variations of those noodle and hamburger bakes, and salmon patties were common in the summertime with key limes off of our tree. And of course Jello with fruit cocktail in it. I still like that today. I remember when she made the orange Jello, she would use half boiling water and once it was dissolved, she would use real orange juice. And I loved her Orange Slice Cake. It had cut up orange slice candy in it along with dates, nuts, coconut and a strong orange glaze. SO GOOD!!!! Thank You for some Good Memories!

    Okay, I'm just a little unreasonably obsessed with the question of the difference between original Bisquick and new Bisquick, which is now just Bisquick. Didn't seem to make much difference here... this looked pretty fabulous! I think of the extra liquid as just a nice, loose caramel sauce kinda situation! The cute little illustrations were the best as well. I love those single-colour ones that get themed through a book's section. This was just excellent Anna! Thank you!

    'New Bisquick' (aka the Bisquick we have now) supposedly makes fluffier biscuits. The change may not have been a huuuuge deal. However, a while back I posted an early 50s recipe for Gooey Buns that contained Bisquick. I SWEAR the recipe did not work as directed. That could definitely be on me, but I can't help but wonder if it had something to do with the newer version of Bisquick. The world may never know!

A Mental Floss article listing 10 things you didn't know about Bisquick. This is #5 in the article: The Bisquick recipe was modified in the 1960s. General Mills changed the Bisquick recipe in the late 1960s to make biscuits fluffier and lighter in texture. The new product, which had buttermilk and more shortening in it, was called New Bisquick. New Bisquick was a hit, and after it replaced the old formulation, it was simply called Bisquick.

After watching a couple of your videos, I was hooked. You are everything that I love - a lover of vintage cookbooks and vintage recipes from wherever I can find them; including old handwritten ones. I also love the old pots and pans and inherited my mother-in-law's farberware set. Your bowls are lovely! I imagine a lot of wonderful memories and love came from the meals they once held. Today, I'm making the Ranch Pudding. I just had to, lol. I'm dying to see how mine comes out. It's been so much fun watching you follow the recipes, and I can't wait to cook along with you more.

    It says in the 1950s edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook that General Mills had just built a huge facility for Betty Crocker products, that included different styles of kitchens and all kinds of photography equipment, including photo enhanced capabilities. This was a big thing back then!

    Stumbled upon your Channel. Great presentation style AND you made me laugh at the end. I subscribed. It looked a bit like sticky toffee pudding but more sauce. In England, that has the same ingredients minus the Bisquick. We just use flour, baking powder, etc. I will'll make it and then tell you. You halved the dry ingredients, but did you halve the sauce too? It looked like more than 1 cup in the pan. Hugs Kate 😊

    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.

    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!

    I realize this is from a year ago but just seeing it now and had to Comment. When I was a kid in the 60's my mom used to get a mix called "Sauce n Cake" put out by Dr Oetker. Might be available only in Canada, not sure. There were many different flavours. As I began to do my own baking I discovered recipes to make these from scratch. Often called Pudding cakes or Cottage Pudding. There are tons of different recipes out there. I have made butterscotch, chocolate, apple, lemon and tweaked a few to make different combinations and variations. It's so quick and easy to make, even from scratch. Very popular with the kids so often made for family meals.

    So I’m planning dinner for an upcoming Bunco night and decided to use my 1971 Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library. They also have this Ranch Pudding in there (Q-18), BUT it has a ginger topping!!! I’m super excited to try it. Here’s the recipe for those wanting to try the topping. Ginger Topping: In chilled bowl, beat 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff; fold in 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Or fold 1/4 teaspoon ginger into 1 cup frozen whipped topping (thawed) .

    Is it like a sticky toffee pudding? Your descriptions sound as if that may be the case. It looks fab! I love the dates, but am not a raisin fan. I suppose almost any dried fruit(s) would work with this. I just came upon your channel by happenstance, and am so glad I did. I am 74 years old. Lost my mom in 2019 when she was still a feisty 97 year old! She would have loved your channel, and I actually get tears in my eyes looking at all the various products you use that my mom used when I was a child. No matter how old we or they may be when we lose them, we will always love and miss our dear mothers. Thank you for this channel. I’m loving it! 💙👵🏼🧑🏻‍🦳

    I am really learning that Bisquick is kind of a miracle ingredient! 😆 The only thing my mom used it for was pancakes. That chicken pot pie sounds great! The ranch pudding was a little like sticky toffee pudding, but not quite? It was softer in texture. It was almost like a cross between sticky toffee pudding and hot fudge cake (only caramel).
