My mother always said her ancestors were Pennsylvania Dutch (on her father's side), so I'm not surprised that she prepared many of the dishes found in the book "Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking". I still make dumplings to this day and we love Pennsylvania Dutch egg noodles. Now that I have the recipe I'll be making them from scratch, just like my foremothers did.
This is a great old book containing many traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipes. Click here to see some excerpts and recipes.
This recipe I am curious to see prepared. It is "Scripture Cake", from the same book. Photos are welcome!
