Vintage Recipe Thursday is meant to preserve your own original vintage family recipes, or out-of-print, copyright-free recipes from old cookbooks, magazines, newspapers. You're invited! Get the details by clicking to the Vintage Recipe Thursday Homepage. I post recipes from the Household Searchlight Recipe Book, first published in 1931. My 16th printing is from 1943. What will you post?*************************
I'm so happy with this Searchlight cookbook. All the recipes I've tried have been great, and there are so many prize-winning recipes, too. The salt rising bread recipe I'm sharing with you today for Vintage Recipe Thursday and for my 2nd annual bread roundup is a prize-winner. Enjoy!

back after a little absence! The shrimp/crab dip is a recipe my Mom made ever year, I was pleased to find it in a stack of old recipe cards.
ReplyDeleteThis bread looks interesting, I don't have many recipes made with potatoes, I bet that helps the texture quite a bit....
Sounds great. It never ceases to amaze me how many different versions of the same recipe exist!
ReplyDeleteSO glad you found me today! I happily followed you back to your site, and I will absolutely join in on Thursdays! I've got lots of fabulous family recipes I'd love to share, as well as ones I've made up myself that have become favorites--this will be fun! Love that you're doing this!
