1950's Breakfast Ideas!

Hello Darlings! In this weeks video I spent the week trying out and thoroughly enjoying some 1940's and 1950's breakfast recipes! Breakfast can easily become mundane when you always eat the same old thing, so it was nice to spice up the breakfast game and try out some new ideas! I will be adding these into my breakfast rotations because yummmoo they were good! Let me know if you try any of these out, I would love to hear your thoughts!
Lots of love,
Sage Xx

Recipes Below!

Tomato and Egg on Fried Bread:
4 Tomatoes
2 Thick Slices of Bread
2 Eggs
2 or 3 ozs. Beef Dripping
Salt and Pepper

Method:
Stalk, wipe and halve the tomatoes. Fry them gently till they are tender, in half an ounce of dripping. Melt the remainder of the dripping in another pan. Add the bread and fry it slowly until it is beginning to brown, turning it over once or twice. When the bread is ready, lift it on to a hot dish and top it with the fried tomatoes. Sprinkle these with pepper and salt and keep the tomatoes on toast warm, while the eggs are frying. Then top each tomato toast with a fried egg.

For a change, the fried egg can be served on the fried bread without the tomatoes; or the fried tomatoes can be served alone on the fried bread.

Griddle Cakes:
1 1/4 cups sifted enriched flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons salad oil or melted shortening or bacon fat

Sift flour with baking powder, sugar, and salt. Combine egg, milk, and shortening. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just till flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy. Bake on ungreased griddle.

When underside of griddle cakes are nicely browned, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of washed and drained blueberries over each cake. Turn and brown. Makes 6 to 8 cakes.

Baked Apples:
Select large, good quality baking apples. Wash; remove core. Place in baking pan. In centre of each apple, place 1 to 2 tablespoons brown or granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon butter.

Pour 1 cup water around apples and bake uncovered in moderate oven (375 F / 190 C) for 45 - 60 minutes or until tender. Baste apples several times while they are baking.

Apple centres may be filled with chopped dates, raisins, mincemeat, or cranberries.

Fritter Batter:
1 1/3 cups sifted enriched flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1 well-beaten egg

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper if desired. Blend milk and egg; add gradually to dry ingredients. Stir in desired fruit, vegetable, or meat. Drop from tablespoon into deep, hot fat (365 - 375 F / 185 - 190 C) Fry 2 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Use 1 1/2 cups drained; whole kernel corn. Serve fritters with maple syrup.
(I served my corn fritters with avocado and kewpie mayonnaise)

Crispy-crumb Eggs:
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
5 well-beaten eggs

Fry bacon till crisp; remove bacon.
Add bread crumbs to drippings and heat until crumbs are crisp and brown; remove crumbs.
Add milk and seasonings to eggs; scramble in bacon drippings. When nearly set, add crumbs and bacon. Makes 4 servings.

When I was a child in the 50's we lived on a farm. My grandpa had a huge garden and we had some chickens so we had eggs with fried tomatoes, corn fritters ( though my Mom always used Bisquick instead of making it from scratch), and a dish Mom called scrambled mess - which was similar to your fluffy eggs. She would scramble the eggs with ham or sausage or bacon - whatever she had, potatoes, onions, green peppers or any combo of those she had available, and just before serving put some chedder cheese on top. However, we had this for supper, not breakfast. Served with sliced tomatoes and dill pickles.

Enjoying this video. I'm 77 years old, and this brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you. ❤

Congratulations on your engagement. I wish you both much happiness. I'm 56 and my mom has that Betty Crocker cookbook. I've always loved how it's got great basics in it. I enjoy your channel ma'am. I wish young ladies really knew just how much was expected from previous generations. Knowing the career and financial limitations even my mother had needs to be taught to kids today so they're thankful for those freedoms they have now.

Wonderful. 1950's and 1960's are for me the best ages. All is perfect: music, movies, fashion, cartoons, products, commercials, life style at all. Only cars I prefer in the ages 1920 - 1950.

My youngest introduced me to this channel. She is 15 and loves the hair tutorials and cooking. I myself have always loved everything about the 1930's-1940's since I was a kid, so perhaps she was 'infected' on one of my cleaning days when I tend to turn on some Vera Lynn or Dina shore. Either way we have even more we get to do together each time a new video comes up.

I don't comment very often. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever comment...but I really enjoy your videos so very much! I was born in 1963. Your videos really take me back. I love it! Beautiful channel!

That first dish got my belly to growling. Seriously, tomatoes and eggs fried up is pure bliss.

[valettagray]

I was born in 1960 but have always loved everything about the 1940s-50s. Years ago I started collecting vintage cookbooks and have used them in my everyday menus.
So enjoy your videos.

[scarlettehowell]

I have one of the same cookbooks she has. My grandma gave it to my family because she used to bake Christmas cookies from it so my sister and I use her mom’s, my great grandma’s, old kitchen aid mixer and make those same cookies every year and give them to our grandma. The cookies do take a while, but are very much worth it in the end. I do recommend.

I love watching videos like this. I get a strange feeling i cant explain when i see videos or old movies from the late 50s/early 60s. Its a nostalgic feeling but its mixed with almost a bit of homesickness. Like i miss it n want to go back except i wasnt born until 85 lol. I must've lived in that era in a past life. Usually 1950s breakfasts are way too heavy for me but that first one is superb. Id def eat that for breakfast!! 🍳🍅🍞🫶

When we hear "Hello, Darlings!", we know we are in for a real treat! 😊

Fried tomato on bread is my absolute favourite weekend brunch meal

[jacquelynannehoward]

I had to revisit your old videos, I miss the beautiful home you created.

[kyereCat]

Every Sunday morning, my grandma would fried chicken with gravy along with her homemade buttermilk biscuits 😋. This was early supper before church meetings and visiting other relatives for the day.

[jaydellclark]

We had a tomato that we needed to eat so I made tomato and egg breakfast. I decided to toast the bread instead of frying. The bread was toasting while the tomato and eggs and buttered the toast. My husband and I decided this is one of our favorite breakfast now. Thanks for sharing!

[PetroliumStation]

Your videos are such a breath of positivity and overall feelgood in otherwise troublesome/depressing times. It makes me happy to do chores and it motivates me to finish my school assignments! Thank you dearly!

My mum grew up in the 50s and corn fritters were one of her absolute favourites - especially with some leftover corned beef (or roast lamb), mixed into the batter before frying.

Thanks for reminding me.

[noelleagape]

I grew up on n the 50s, 60s and 70s and this all looks delicious!
We are oldsters now, but this does remind me of growing up.

I'm Japanese, but I love movies from the 1950s and am very interested in the fashion, home interiors, and especially food from that time. sage is also very nice with her hairstyle and fashion from that time.

Love the music, the aesthetic, history and the tradition of these recipes! I feel like I’m back in time for all the good parts of it. My favorite memories of meals from mom, they really do taste different than anyone else! ❤️
