DEAR HOWARD FRIESDs-Now that
"Aranmore," "Wilmina' and 'May Belle"
have the page about cleared of advertise
ments, suppose we all try to keep it filled
with Howard letters. l am sure we can
do so if ali will do their duty. Don't let
us wait for others to write, thinking we
will not be missed or that more ADLER pens
than ours can handle the subjects under
discussion TO a better advantage Each
one can give views and all members are
invited to do so. This Will make the page
interesting to the general reader.
Ii | was not called to the kitchen so
much / really believe l could say some
thing on some other subject | suppose l
will have to tell "Aranmore" how to make
good pumpkin pie this time, as he is the
first gentleman who has requested
recipe for them. Pare the pumpkin, cut
in pieces not larger than an inch square
and cook until well done, leave the pot lid
off toward the last and stir frequently to
keep from burning. When all the water
has cooked out OF it take up in a dish |
think the pies are little better if the
pumpkin is rubbed through a sieve, but
as it is a slow process do not always do
so. When ! do not | stir and beat it for
few minutes, adding teaspoonful of flour
for each pie and stir in before adding the
milk, etc. For six pies take from two to
six eggs. II % cents per dozen two will do.
but II they are cheap toss In two or three
more. Beat the eggs a minute or two,
then add milk, spice, teacupful of sweet
cream with half teaspoonful of soda dis
solved In IT, and plenty OF sugar to make
them quite sweet, (for herein lies the
secret of palatable pumpkin pie.) Do
not put too much pumpkin with the other
ingredients but have it rather thin. Place
a good rich crust in your pie pans. fill
them near.y full of pumpkin and bake in
moderate oven, and report results.
L have recently learned to make most
palatable cream roll cake. Here is the
recipe: Beat two eggs and add one cup
of sugar, one-ha.f cup Of sweet cream, one
heaping teaspoo nful of the pure baking
powder stirred in one cup of sifted flour;
bake in a long bread pan, and. when done
turn cut on a clean cloth and roll up. 1t
is luscious eaten while it is little warm.
1t is also good baked as layer cake. Do
cake-makers know that after greasing
cake pans they should dip them in -four
and jar out ali you can before putting the
dough in? Your cake will be less liable
to stick to the bottom of the pan
Thanks, "Muriel." for paper sent.
