100 Prize-Winning Grand National Recipes from Pillsbury's 8th Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest

Note: This edition of Pillsbury's 8th Bake-Off Cook Book has been updated to include Metric equivalents.


What excitement there was at the 8th Bake-off! 95 women, one man and four teen-age boys gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria in New York and began beating and stirring and baking their favorite recipes.

The reporters were there—the TV cameras were there—and, of course, we were there to collect all 100 of the prize-winning recipes for you. We’ve tasted them and tested them.


And we think the recipes from the 8th Grand National are some of the best we’ve seen. We thank all of the 100 contestants who wanted to share their recipes with you other homemakers. Enjoy using these recipes and making new and exciting baked foods for your family and friends.


This year we’re adding a new feature to our cookbook! In the Index at the back you’ll find a thumbnail description of each recipe. So turn to it right away and pick out the recipes you’ll want to try first!


You’ll find that you make all of these prize-winning recipes best with Pillsbury’s Best Flour. So get out your pie pans, your cake pans, your cookie sheet, your casserole—and, of course, that bag of Pillsbury’s Best Flour … and good baking—good eating to you.
