Butter Roll Pie
Sallie Vaughan said ...

Does anyone have a recipe for Butter Roll Pie? My husband's mother and 
aunt used to make Butter Roll Pie when he was very young. He speaks of 
it often, and I would like to surprise him and make it for him. By what 
I understand it was made with a crust filled with peaches, rolled up like 
a jelly roll and had sugar sprinkled over it and a little milk poured in 
the center of the pan. It is not cut in slices before it is baked. It is 
just rolled up like a jelly roll and placed around in a round pan. This 
is an old Southern recipe, and I cannot find it anywhere. If someone could 
tell me how to make it, I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you in advance for your time and trouble. 

Hi Lornalee,

This request was posted by Sallie Vaughan almost a year ago, on March 12, 2009, in Recipe Roundup. See:
Good Old Days Want Ads

The only recipe that I can find that might be closer than the ones that people have already provided in response to her request is below.

Phaed

Fruited  Butter  Roll

2 c. water
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 c. self-rising flour
2 tbsp. sugar
6 tbsp. shortening

After mixing, divide into two pieces.  Roll each piece into oblong roll. 
Spread 1/2 stick warm oleo over each piece.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar over oleo. 
Place 3 cups fruit (peaches, berries, etc.)  Next start with long side and 
roll into long roll.  Pinch edges to seal.  Place seam down in 9x13 pan that

Hello Rebecca,

I found several recipes for these, but none called for buttermilk, just milk. One recipe below and see these sites:

Cookbook Fixation

Phaed

Maple Syrup Dumplings

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 - 2 cups maple sugar or brown sugar
3 cups water
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
Pinch of salt

Directions:

Mix together maple or brown sugar, white sugar, and 3 cups of water in a 
four-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently 
until the sugar is melted and it appears to be syrup. Once it starts to 
boil, lower the heat so it doesn't stick to the bottom.

While it's cooking, make the dumplings by mixing together flour, baking 
powder and salt. Beat eggs lightly and add them and the milk to the dry 
ingredients.

Drop the dumplings by the tablespoonful into the mixture. When they're light 
brown flip them over. Only put them in for about a minute on each side.
