Hi! I just joined to answer your need.  Your description sounded like my 1st cookbook given to me by my Mom in 1975. This book is the first I pull from my collection when I'm looking for something.  Sure enough on p53 is your Golden Puffs Recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising flour)   1/4 cup sugar   3 teaspoons baking powder       1 teaspoon salt            1 teaspoon nutmeg or mace    1/4 cup salad oil     3/4 cup milk    1 egg     1/2 cup sugar           1 teaspoon cinnamon 

Heat fat or oil(3-4inches) to 375 degrees in deep fat fryer or kettle.  Measure flour, 1/4  cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and nutmeg into bowl.  Add oil, milk, and egg; beat until smooth.

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls(too large puffs will not cook through) into hot fat.  Fry 4 or 5 at a time about 3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.  Drain.

Stir together 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll warm puffs in sugar-cinnamon mixture.        

2 1/2 dozen puffs

Variation: Buttermilk Nut Puffs:  Decrease baking powser to 1 teaspoon, add n1/2 teaspoon soda and substitute buttermilk for the milk.  Blend 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1/3 cup boiling water.  Glaze puffs with warm mixture and roll in finely chopped nuts.  If desired, omit glaze and roll warm puffs in sugar.  (Do not use self-rixing flour).

Your Very Welcome and Enjoy!

Many Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

I'm looking for a pecan pie  recipe from the cookbook you have.  It is on page 330.  I  have used this recipe so much that the page has disappeared.  We have a bumper crop of pecans this year and my husband just wants a pecan pie.  I would be so happy if you can supply this recipe for me. 

thanks a bunch.

Thank You for posting this recipe!I remember my sister Mary Anne making these for all us kids and then making them myself for my children when they were little.  I moved to TX and my sister still has the 1975 Betty Crocker cookbook, but she is in California.  I thought I would look for it here on this website, I joined just to find this recipe, but now I will be using this as a favorite resource for many recipes. 

I am sorry to bother you but since you have the cookbook I think I am looking for in it would there be a recipe for Loaf of Gold cake?I would be so greatful if you could forward it to me.

Thanking you in advance,

The pound cake is the recipe my mom always used for shortcake, straight from the Betty Crocker cookbook she received as a gift when she and my dad were married in 1969. I found a duplicate at a used bookstore five or six years ago, and it was such a pleasure to look at all the pictures I used to pore over as a child. That cookbook also contains the roll-out sugar cookie recipe that we used for every holiday when I was a child. The pound cake tasted like home.

Loaf O' Gold Cake

2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1/4 c. shortening
1/4 c. softened butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5x3" loaf pan. Measure all ingredients into a large mixer bowl.Blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Bake 65-70 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to reply. My friend was so excited.

Sincerely,

Darlene 

You are very welcome, Darlene!  Hope she enjoys it.

When I saw your post I thought you were looking for the same recipe I was -- yours is not the same, but might be altered to work for me. The recipe I'm looking for is for a doughnut called "Darned Goods." They're made from Bisquick, a bit of sugar, spices and water (do not remember the amounts). You drop teaspoons of the batter into hot oil and fry. Then roll them in Cinnamon-Sugar mixture. My kids used to love them -- they were fast and easy and made a lot. This was also back in the 70's.

The recipe was originally featured in one of the tear-away pamphlets that were inserted in magazines. I had it for years but then it disappeared. I've not seen this recipe since.

Hoping someone who monitors this board can help.

Blessings to all,

Carol Westover
