MRS. RAGAN'S GASTON COUNTY STICKIES
Found this recipe in the Myers Park Presbyterian Church cookbook, "Count Our Blessings". It is a fabulous cookbook filled with great treats but this has to be my favorite of the recipes I have tried. The recipe says serve at room temperature but even better slightly warmed. Also that this recipe has been a Ragan family tradition for 100 years.

EMILY'S MARINATED VENISON STEAKS
This venison steak recipe is made with a delicious marinade. I threw this together one afternoon as we needed to use the venison we had in our freezer. We don't like the gamey taste of some meats, and this marinade did the trick! I find it best to have the meat marinate overnight, so it takes in the flavors.

Steps:
- Whisk together Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, onion, red pepper flakes, dry mustard, salt, thyme, black pepper, garlic, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add venison steaks, coat with marinade, squeeze to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove venison from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
- Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they are firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).

Steps:
- Soften yeast in 2 cups warm water.
- Blend Crisco into yeast mixture. Add sugar, salt, flour, potatoes and beaten eggs, mix well.
- Cover bowl with damp towel(I use linen) and let dough rise until doubled in bulk.
- Shape rolls and let rise again for 1 to 2 hours.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Be sure to use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor.
- The longer you let the fruit marinate in the sugar, the more flavorful the filling will be.
- Don't overcook the filling. It should be thick and bubbly, but not too thick.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the egg wash over the tops of the pastries before baking. This will give them a golden brown color.
- Let the pastries cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy these delicious and easy-to-make Gaston County stickies. With their sweet and gooey filling and flaky crust, they're the perfect treat for any occasion.
