LOOKING for: Looking For: French dressing w/Can tomato soup base

17 years ago

When I was young my mother made a French salad dressing using Campbell's tomato soup for the base. I used the recipe

for years, but it was lost to Hurricane Andrew along with others. If anyone has it I would greatly appreciate receiving it. Also lost my grandmother's buttermilk cornbread recipe. Damn that storm

    Here's a buttermilk cornbread recipe. Hope it's similar to what you were looking for:
    SPIDER CORN BREAD
    1 1/2 cups cornmeqal
    1/3 cup flour
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 cup buttermilk
    2 eggs, well beaten
    2 cups milk, divided
    2 TBL butter

    combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda & salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk, eggs & 1 cup of the milk. Beat with a spoon until smooth.
    Melt the butter in a 9" heavy skillet. When the skillet is hot, pour in the batter. Pour the remaining 1 cup milk over this. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 50 minutes or until lightly browned. cut into wedges & serve.~~Hancock Community Collection

    The tomato soup dressing ws always my favorite growing up.
    It was very similar to the 1st one but I think it had some prepared yellow mustard in it.
    I used to made it as a BD gift for a friend, it was all he wanted!
    I just throw all ingredients in the blender!
