I grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch family and community. There were many traditional dishes that were always served, however, occasionally new dishes were introduced. When someone in our family got a good recipe, it spread like wildfire. It is often hard to know the actual origin, and of course everyone has a little different interpretation of the first time it was used. Here is a recipe that was a favorite for family gatherings. It seems to me that certain people were usually expected or unofficially designated to bring a certain dish because they made it best. They are still favorites among the “younger” women in the family.
