Does Truvy’s “Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa” Recipe from Steel Magnolias Work?
March 23, 2012 Yes, I know. This is a completely random question. And, yes! I know. It's SO twenty-three years ago. Do you remember the movie Steel Magnolias? I'm sure you do. Dolly Parton played a hairdresser named Truvy and, at a certain point in the film, she gets asked about one of her famous recipes. That recipe is called Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa. Olympia Dukakis' character, Clairee, wants Truvy to give her the recipe and Truvy says, "You don't need a recipe. It's just a cup of flour, a cup of sugar and a cup of fruit cocktail with the syrup. Stir and bake in a hot oven until golden brown and bubbly." So, Thursday morning on the WBKR Waking Crew, Nashville Kat, Moon and I wondered . . . does this REALLY work?
