A little cook book for a little girl
Benton, Caroline French
Cooking -- Juvenile literature
Buy half a pound of calf's liver and half a pound of bacon. Cut
the liver in thin slices and pour boiling water over it, and then
wipe each slice dry. Slice the bacon very thin and cut off the
rind; put this in a hot frying-pan and cook very quickly, turning
it once or twice. Just as soon as it is brown take it out and lay
it on brown paper in the oven in a pan. Take a saucer of flour and
mix in it a teaspoonful of salt and a very little pepper; dip the
slices of liver in this, one at a time, and shake them free of lumps.
Lay them in the hot fat of the bacon in the pan and fry till brown.
Have a hot platter ready, and lay the slices of liver in a nice
row on it, and then put one slice of bacon on each slice of liver.
Put parsley all around, and sometimes use slices of lemon, too,
for a change.
Liver and Bacon on Skewers
Get from the butcher half a dozen small wooden skewers, and
prepare the liver and bacon as you did for frying, scalding,
dipping the liver in flour, and taking the rind off the bacon.
Make three slices of toast, cut into strips, and put in the oven
to keep hot. Cut up both liver and bacon into pieces the size
of a fifty-cent piece and put them on the skewers, first one of
the liver and then one of the bacon, and so on, about six of each.
Put these in the hot frying-pan and turn them over till they are
brown. Then lay one skewer on each strip of toast, and put lemon
and parsley around. You can also put large oysters on the skewers
with pieces of bacon, and cook in the same way.
Broiled Steak
See that the fire is clear and red, without flames. Trim off
most of the fat from the steak, and rub the wires of the broiler
with it and heat it over the coals. Then put in the meat and
turn over and over as it cooks, and be careful not to let it take
fire. When brown, put it on a hot platter, dust over with salt
and a very little pepper, and dot it with tiny lumps of butter.
Put parsley around. Steak ought to be pink inside; not brown
and not red. Put a fork in as you did with the chops, and twist
in a little, and you can see when it gets the right color.
Steak with Bananas
Peel one banana and slice in round pieces, and while the steak
is cooking fry them in a little hot butter till they are brown.
After the meat is on the platter, lay these pieces over it,
arranging them prettily, and put the parsley around as before.
Bananas are very nice with steak.
Frizzled Dried Beef
Take half a pound of dried beef, shaved very thin. Chop it fine
and pull out the strings. Put a large tablespoonful of butter in
the frying-pan, and when it bubbles put in the meat. Stir till it
begins to get brown, and then sprinkle in one tablespoonful of flour
and stir again, and then put in one cup of hot milk. Shake in a
little pepper, but no salt. As soon as it boils up once, it is
done, and you can put it in a hot covered dish. If you like a
change, stir in sometimes two beaten eggs in the milk instead of
using it plain.
