PROXY;
HINTS.
From Mrs. w. N. A., Takonla Park.
For Mr.. J. H. of Washington. Re-
garding the Russian concoction," as
he calls it, called Pirojky: AS I re-
member my mother making them,
and I too have made them, we use
plain white yeast bread dough, using
4 cups flour for a batch. This
makes about two dozen Pirojky.
When the dough is ready to bake,
shape into a roll about 3 inches in
diameter and short enough to handle
well. Slice pieces about l inch
thick and roll into discs about 4
to inches in diameter. Place disc
on palm of hand and put about ~
to teaspoonfuls of filling in disc,
fold and pinch edges well to seal.
Flatten slightly and place sealed
side down into baking pan. Let
rise in warm place about As minutes
and bake in $50 to 400 degree oven
for 80 minutes.
The filling is a matter of choice.
We like a navy bean and raisin
filling: Cook 2 cups navy beans
until soft, mash and season with
salt and teaspoons sugar, add cup
raiSins which have been soaked in
hot water S to 10 minutes. Before
mashing the beans all excess liquor
should be drained off, as the mashed
beans should be quite stiff. Place
in bread pan side by side and end
to end. To eat them, each indi-
vidual dips his own PROXY into
his own serving of thick sour cream
and proceeds.
Another filling is boiled beef liver
or heart or both, ground through a
course food chopper and seasoned to
taste. Saute with onion and fat.
Use this for filling, but it is not
eaten with sour cream.
May I add q few hints? When
rinsing baby diapers add a cupful
of vinegar to a tubful of rinse water
for soft, fluffy diapers.
To CRATE or shred carrots, hold by
the tail end or small end to be able
to crate to the end.
