Congratulations to Sophie Litwin of Walled Lake. Sophie is the winner
of the cookbook series – SmartCook Collection: Soup and SmartCook
Collection Fish - in my Cookbook Giveaway Drawing.
Sophie’s
daughter Sharon Litwin of Iowa entered two of her mother’s favorite
recipes for the drawing. She says her 94-year-old mother still lives in
her own home and cooks all her own meals, including vegetables from her
very own garden. Sharon says her mom loves my recipe column, but wishes
it was a whole section like it once was. Thank you Sophie!
The
first recipe is her City Chicken recipe and a family favorite handed
down from her Ukranian Aunt. The second recipe - Peanut Butter Cupcakes -
are a favorite that she still makes for her children.
Thank you, Sophie Litwin, for sharing two of your family favorite recipes and entering my cookbook giveaway drawing.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Cake ingredients
Makes 18-24 cupcakes
1 Yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
Frosting ingredients
6 oz. chocolate chips
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Cake directions
Mix
together the cake mix, water, evaporated milk, peanut butter and eggs.
Mix well and pour into cupcake paper lined cupcake pans. Bake according
to directions on cake box. When done, remove from pans and cool
completely.
Frosting directions
Heat together chocolate
chips and evaporated milk. When chips are melted, stir in the powdered
sugar. Work fast as the frosting stiffens quickly. If you melt and mix
in a double boiler, it stays soft longer and you can actually dip the
tops of the cupcakes in the frosting.
City Chicken
Ingredients
3 lbs. pork roast (use a pork butt roast or a thick pork steak will also work)
3 lbs. veal roast or round steak
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
Flour
1 Egg
Cracker crumbs
Shortening
Salt and pepper
Wooden skewers
Directions
Cut
meat into cubes and alternate, pork/beef, onto skewers. Salt and pepper
meat and place in one layer in a baking dish. Chop garlic very fine and
sprinkle over meat. Cover well with foil and refrigerate anywhere from
one hour to overnight.
Next, roll each skewer of meat in flour to
which salt and pepper has been added. Dip in an egg and water mixture of
one beaten egg with about 1 1/2 Tbsp. of water. Roll in cracker crumbs
and fry in shortening, turning frequently, until light brown.
Transfer
to a baking sheet, and bake covered with foil for half an hour at 350
degrees. Uncover and continue to bake for another half hour, checking
frequently so it doesn’t burn.
