As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

Our rediscovery of this book last year has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us. 

You never know when you’ll need a recipe for frosting. Whether it’s a birthday party, an anniversary or playdate, frosting is an integral part of the cake-making process. Enjoy this simple recipe for frosting.

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
