My Country Style Steak

1 can mushroom soup
1 pack onion mix

Roll steak in flour and brown on both sides. Mix soup together and two cans water. When it starts to boil good turn down to low and cook at least an hour, more if you can

When I cook a lot of steak I add more soup.

When I want to fry some good chicken, I soak my chicken in buttermilk for an hour, sometimes overnight. Take it out of the buttermilk and roll in flour, salt and pepper. Cook in frying pan until golden brown on low heat. Very good.

Take chicken out of pan and put 3 tablespoons flour in grease and brown in the pan (add salt & pepper) and then put a glass or two of cold water, stir til thickens and have good gravy.

Cake with Icing Inside

1 box cake mix
4 eggs
¾ cup oil
1 cup water
1 can of icing
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix everything except icing and beat with mixer. I beat sugar and oil first then add cake mix and water. When all is mixed I spoon icing and stir it good with a spoon. You can use banana cake mix. You can use chocolate or strawberry. Butternut cake mix is good with pecan icing.

Bake 350° preheated for 30 minutes.

Happy Eating!

Chocolate Pie

5 egg yolks
1 ½ cups sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons flour
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat egg yolks. Mix together the dry ingredients. Add milk and vanilla. Cook over low heat until thick. Put in 2 pie crust. Use whites of eggs for meringue.

I put the flour in the pan with about ½ cup cold water and stir it good on low heat until all the flour is mixed good with no lumps. Then I put cocoa and let it get all mixed with no lumps. Then I add sugar and most of the milk. When it gets hot and starts to get thick then I beat the egg yokes in the rest of the cold milk and add a cup of the hot mixture with it. Then pour it all back and cook slow until it gets thick. If you put the eggs in the hot mix it will scramble them.

     When making a cake, always have eggs, butter, and milk at room temperature and sift flour two times. Grease your pan and sprinkle a little flour in it so it won't stick to the pan - no one told me this and I made a mess a lot of times. Mama told me not to jump on the floor or your cake will fall.
