The very first Pillsbury Bake-Off was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York in 1949. What was the winning recipe that year?
No-Knead Water-Rising Twists - where the dough was wrapped in a tea towel and sumberged in warm water to rise.
DoughBoy Cookies - that, because of their dome-like shape with a finger-size indentation in the middle, became the inspiration for the Pillsbury DoughBoy advertising campaign.
Coca Cola Cake with Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting - where the finished, frosted cake is placed under the broiler until the topping starts to bubble.
