Apparently butter dips were a popular option for an appetizer back in the day. The recipe I used came from a book published in the '50s. They were described in the book as biscuit strips dipped and baked in butter. How can this be bad, right? The recipe was really easy to make and I happend to have all of the ingredients, as most people would. It called for flour, butter, milk, salt and baking powder. Simple and very tasty. As you can see from the picture I couldn't wait to try them. They were like really buttery rolls, best warm, tender and tasty! Not greasy at all as you might think. All the butter soaks in during baking so there isn't any left in the pan. A great start to any meal.
Duchess Potatoes
These are basically a fancy way to serve and portion mashed potatoes. Also very easy to make, all you do is take your usual mashed potatoes and use a piping bag to make little mounds on a baking sheet. Then brush them with butter and bake until browned. I thought they seemed a little dried out to me, even though they were plenty moist before the baking. Otherwise, they tasted ok. They would be good for a party or for entertaining because they look pretty.
