I am sending to Mrs. T. A. c. OF |
Washington my recipe for sour
cream dressing for cole Slaw. This is !
easily prepared in one mipute's time |
and is very satisfactory, I find.
For small quantity of dressing I |
simply mix one level tablespoon of |
sugar with a big pinch of salt and |
black pepper. Sprinkle in few Gel
cry seed and add to it two table
spoons vinegar. Add to this half a
cup of sweet cream and stir the mix
ture, which will thicken by coagu-
lation to the right consistency A |
little prepared mustard may be used |
for variation, II liked.
The cabbage should be shredded |
finely and bit of scraped onion and |
few shreds Of grated carrot and |
some chopped sweet pepper makes a
very crisp and delicious cole slaW.
Serve in cabbage leaf decorated |
with tiny sweet pickle A little less |
vinegar may be used if desired, and |
little prepared horseradish used.
RAVIOLI:
COFFEE CAKE.
| (ThdnkS to Mrs. J. H. H.,
SilDer Spring.
I saw a request for ravioli in The !
Star of October II and am inclos-
ing one which I have found good !
I frequently find recipes which
have been wanting and read the
| Clearing House regularly.
| Ravioli: Paste-12 teaspoon salt. |
212 cups -four. eggs, tablespoons |
cold water. Spread the flour on a
bread board. Make a depression in
the center with. a spoon and into
| this hole drop the unbeaten eggs, !
add the salt to the water and pour
upon the flour mixture and work all
together till the paste is smooth and
stiff. Roll out very thin.
Mixture for the filling: "a cup
of butter (or subStitute), | egg,
cups of cooked meat or fowl chopped
fine, 2 tablespoons grated sharp
cheese, Il teaspoon grated lemon
peel
Mix the meat mixture to a smooth
paste. Cut the rolled-out first mix
ture into strips about 5 inches wide +.
Lay teaspoon of the meat mixture
along these strips, leaving l-inch |
spaces between the SpoonfulS and
a space along the edge. Place
another strip on top of these and
cut into squares and pinch around
the edges to hold together we'll dixie F.
little turnovers). Have rapidly boil
ing water salted, drop the little /.
squares into this and boil 10 minutes |.
Drain and serve with tomato sauce. |
Mrs. w. w. OF Rockville asks for
a quick coffee cake recipe; I find
the following good and it always
turns out well, is easy to make and
! inexpensive!
12a cups -four, cup sugar, "a tea
! spoon salt, 2l2 teaspoons baking
powder, 13 cups shortening, "a cup
of milk (half water will do, l egg.
l teaspoon f1avoring.
Sift the -four before measuring.
Then sift together the -four, the
sugar, baking powder and salt. Add
| to this the shortening, the unbeaten
| egg, milk and f1avoring Have all
! the ingredients together at once in
a bowl and beat together we'll for
two or three minutes till perfectly
smooth. Bake in a 9-inch layer
cake pan. Have the oven preheated
to $50 degrees and bake the cake
80 to IS minutes.
The cake may be served with a
covering of sugar and cinnamon or
chopped nuts and brown sugar Or
an Icing" may be made with a
tablespoonful of butter softened and
teaspoonful Of top milk added
and then mixed into this equal parts
of brown sugar and confectioner's
sugar, favored with few drops
of vanilla extract This tastes like
caramel and makes a good spread
| over any cake.
A very convenient way to measure
shortening is to place the liquid in
gredient in the measuring vessel
and add the shortening till it makes
the proper combined amount. thus
Two-thirds liquid in cup; add the
shortening till the liquid comes up
to the full cup.
