A variation of a Mennonite recipe, these deep-fried pastry fritters are traditionally served with slices of chilled watermelon. It's a wonderful combination of contrasting textures on hot summer days or at picnics.

Simple Stovetop Amish Chicken

Submitted by: IamPatSajak 
In my family, we call this simple stove top recipe for chicken Chicken Pot Pie. It is not very pie like, but a very classic German/Amish dish. This is one of my very favorites, I learned to make it with my mom when I was little, this will be the first time I wrote it down! I have had it before with carrots, which I do enjoy, but I prefer it best when it is very simple. This is a very inexpensive dish.

This is my mom's corn pie. We grew up eating this and loving it in the heart of Amish country. It is a very hearty dish, and easy to make. Give this one a try before you decide you won't like it. Corn takes on a whole different flavor made this way. Some people add cooked chicken to the pie as well.

Milk Flitcher Pie

Submitted by: Diane Berg 
This is a very old Pennsylvania Dutch treat, a sort of milk and sugar pie made usually for children, as a way to use up leftover pie dough. This makes an odd-looking pie, but it tastes better than it looks. I have heard this called many names, among them Slap Jack, Flippy, Shlop Boi, Flitche, Flabby, or even Stingy Pie!

This is a recipe that is similar to my Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother's but was modified by me. She used a pressure cooker but I prefer the crock pot. I always serve this with a side of mashed potatoes and applesauce to accompany it.

Amish Custard Cottage Cheese Pie

Submitted by: MARBALET 
A hint of lemon and lots of cottage cheese adds a delightful twist to this easy-to-make, light custard pie. Use a graham cracker crust or a pastry crust -either tastes wonderful. The flavors mellow if you give it a day. Try adding chocolate curls on top.
