Mrs. Young's FCS class welcomes you to the 1940's!
So far they have made Food for the Gods from the 1900's and Blackberry Jam Cake with Ermine Frosting from the 1920's. Only a few more decades as they bake their way through the "Baking Yesteryear" cookbook (@bdylanhollisofficial).
Dream Bars are a type of bar cookie with a crunchy cookie base topped with a soft, brown-sugar caramel chewy texture mixed in with coconut and pecans. It was a two-part recipe, first, they had to bake the crust, then they had to mix the filling, pour it atop the crust, and bake again.
