drop by the tablespoon into the deep fryer [oil heated to 375degrees] and fry until brown, about 3 minutes.
*NOTE: to make sour/buttermilk - put 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar into a dish. add enough milk to make 1cup total - stir - let stand about 5 minutes before using.
&& for dessert, i made my dads 5-flavored pound cake. it had been quite a while since i've made it and even though i'm in desperate need of a new cake pan, i decided to make it anyway! and it was gooooooooooooooooooood! i'm not going to give this recipe away entirely UNLESS dad gives me permission OR you can GUESS the 5 flavors on your own. i suppose you could choose ANY five flavors to make this your own, but i've found that dad's way is perrrrfecto so if you can correctly guess the flavors - i'll let you know if you're right! ;]
[hey, don't judge .. it took me a long time to get this recipe - it should be the same for you! ehhehe]
2 sticks of butter, soft
1/2c - shortening
3c - sugar
3c - flour
1/2 tsp - baking powder
5 eggs
1c - milk
1tsp - five flavors ;]
cream butter, shortening & sugar until light and fluffy.
add eggs [which have already been beaten] until mix becomes a lemon color.
in seperate bowl combine flour and baking powder. add to cream mix, alternating with milk until creamy. then add your flavoring.
[can anyone guess my flavors yet?!]pour mix into greased and floured tubed pan and bake @ 325 for 1 and 1/2 hrs [more or less depending on oven. it will be done when inserted knife comes out clean]
if you want to eat it the true sumner way ... spread a little peanut butter on top! ;]
