MOM-MOM BESSIE'S COCONUT MOLASSES PIE



Mom-Mom Bessie's Coconut Molasses Pie image

I'm the keeper of my husband's grandmother's handwritten recipe book. Mom-Mom Bessie was one of the best cooks I knew, and we think of her every time we make this pie. The flavor combination of coconut and molasses is a family favorite. -Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

GREAT GRANDMA'S SOUR CREAM DROP COOKIES



Great Grandma's Sour Cream Drop Cookies image

This recipe was on a card tucked into my mom's recipe box; it's pretty similar to a number of variations that seem to be from the 1930s. A note said "flavor with whatever you like" and of all the flavors I played around with, I thought lemon zest balanced the sweet dough the best. These bake up into tender little cakes that make a great base for whoopie pies. Once baked, they freeze well (thaw for an hour or so on the counter to eat), but start losing their tenderness after more than one day at room temperature.

Time 25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ⅓ cups white sugar
¼ cup shortening
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup full-fat sour cream
1 large lemon, zested
2 large eggs
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream sugar, shortening, and butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in sour cream and lemon zest on low speed until no streaks of sour cream remain. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium-low just until there are no streaks of yolk, and scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder all at once and mix just to combine.
  • Drop by heaping tablespoons on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are puffy and spring back when lightly touched with a finger, about 10 minutes. They should be light golden, with occasional spots of pale golden brown.
