Spudnuts (doughnuts)
This recipe is from my Grammy Blanche! She is 92 years old, and it wasn't that many years ago when I heard she made these for her entire church congregation for a Halloween Party!
Spudnuts
1/2 c. warm water
1Tbs. yeast
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 c. scalded milk
1 c. mashed potatoes (she uses instant)
2 c. beaten eggs
6-7 c. flour
Scald milk and cool. Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 c. warm water. Beat eggs, sugar salt, and shortening. Add to milk and yeast and potatoes. Add flour until you are able to knead. Knead 5-10 minutes. Let rise. Knead again and roll our 1/2" thick. Cut with a donut cutter (or a mason jar screw band will work, just be sure to remove the center also with a milk lid or something similar). Let rise until double in size and then fry in hot oil.
Glaze:
1/2 c. water
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. powdered sugar
Boil water and sugar until first indication of small thread. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar. Reheat if needed, add a little more water if needed.

Egg Noodles
Egg Noodles (great for Chicken Noodle Soup)
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbs. milk
dash of pepper
Beat egg until light and fluffy. Mix in salt, milk, pepper, and flour. Use your hands to incorporate everything if you need to. Roll out very thin, and then cut into thin strips with a pizza cutter. Boil, or mix into hot boiling soup. The noodles will take around 12 minutes or so depending on thickness.
Note: When making chicken noodle soup for my family, I have to use at least 3 times this recipe.

Buttermilk Pancakes (Jill)
This is my friend Jill's recipe. It is good, and you don't actually have to use buttermilk if you don't have any.
Buttermilk Pancakes:
2 c. flour
2 Tbs. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
2 eggs
2 c. buttermilk*
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 Tbs. butter (I often just use oil when butter prices are high)
Mix all together well and cook on a hot griddle!
Buttermilk Substitutes: 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. milk, OR 1/2 c. plain yogurt and 1/2 c. milk. I personally do not like to add lemon juice of vinegar to regular milk to try and get it to be like buttermilk. It's the thick buttermilk consistency that I look for.
Note: To save time on school days, I have about 10 quart sized Ziploc bags that I mix all of the dry ingredients into. Each bag will contain all of the dry ingredients for one batch of pancakes. Then I write on the outside of the bag the additional ingredients needed (ex. 2 eggs, 2 c. buttermilk. 4 Tbs. butter, 1/2 tsp. vanilla). I save the bags and use them over and over.

Popeye Pancakes (German pancakes, puffed pancakes)
These oven pancakes have many names, but in my family we always called them Popeye Pancakes.
Popeye Pancakes:
1 c. flour
1 c. milk
6 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp vanilla (optional)
1/2 cube butter, melted
Mix everything (except the butter) in the blender. Poor the melted butter in a 9"x13" pan, and then poor the pancake batter in. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
NOTE: I have found that the pancakes will puff more if you do not use the convection feature on your oven. The fan seems to deter them from rising as much as they can.
