Pecan Pie with a glug of good bourbon in the goo.....
The recipe on the back of the Karo jar is good and fairly standard...sugar, syrup, eggs, vanilla, butter, pecans....I add more pecans (some chopped some whole) some Penzy's orange zest and aforementioned glug, usually of Maker's Mark.
Or Sweet Potato Pie with orange zest and yes the glug of bourbon....
Gooey butter cake is STL not southern.....well, guess we're more south than you.
Peach Cobbler is best in season...unless you have some frozen peaches from last July.
Moon Pies....now those are fun. Seems like Paula Deen has some good chocolate cakettes with white goo icing filling recipe......yummmm, fun.
Banana pudding is very southern, as is hummingbird cake....
Depending on how large the party is and what the menu is and how many people are bringing desserts.......if dinner is really rich, then I'd go into the cobbler mode, well ala mode. |
