A Tartare Sauce or Sauce Tartare is merely a mayonnaise dressing with
pickles chopped into it, a tablespoonful, each, or more, of chopped
cucumber, cauliflower, and olives, with a tablespoonful of capers and
two teaspoonfuls of red pepper to a pint of the mayonnaise. There is,
however, a hot Tartare Sauce which is made by adding to one cup of thick
white sauce the following ingredients: One tablespoonful, each, of
chives, parsley, pickled gherkins, olives, and capers, all put through
the food chopper. Stir into the white sauce; heat while stirring
constantly, but do not allow the mixture to boil, and add one
tablespoonful of vinegar just before serving.
Crisp Fried Potatoes
We think your trouble is not so much the temperature of the fat, which
should be about 350 deg. to 375 deg. Fah., as it is that potatoes, to be
crisped by deep frying, should first be soaked in cold water for twenty
to thirty minutes, then dried perfectly before immersing in the fat.
Also, they should be removed from the fat the moment they are done, and
drained dry.
To Broil Fish
Wipe the fish dry, and brush it lightly with oil or melted butter.
Place it in a double wire broiler, and cook over a clear fire, turning
every other minute until both sides are a light, even brown. Remove
carefully from the broiler, using a sharp boning knife to free it from
adhesions. If the fish is thoroughly oiled, it should not adhere to the
broiler.
Cream Sauce
Blend together butter and flour, and add to hot milk; keep stirring
until the whole has boiled for at least one minute. Add seasonings to
taste, at the beginning of cooking. The proportions for a thin, a
medium, and a thick sauce are, respectively: One, two, and four
tablespoonfuls of flour to one cup of milk. And an equal volume of
butter, or one-third less than the flour, is called for.
Soft Gingerbread
To two beaten eggs in a mixing-bowl add two tablespoonfuls of butter,
melted, three-eighths a cup of sour milk, and one cup of molasses. Beat
all together; add two cups of flour, sifted with one-half a teaspoonful
of salt and one teaspoonful of baking powder, and one tablespoonful of
ginger. Lastly, add one teaspoonful of baking soda, dissolved in two
teaspoonfuls of water. Bake in a sheet, and serve with whipped cream for
a simple dessert.
QUERY NO. 4246.--"Can you give me a recipe for Deep-Dish Apple Pie? It
has a thick top covering, I cannot call it a crust, for it is something
between a cake and a biscuit dough--not at all like pie crust."
