=The Making of Canapés.=--Bread two days old is best for the foundation.
Trim free from crusts, then cut in uniform oblongs, diamonds, triangles,
circles or fingers as desired, using for this the cutters that come on
purpose. Butter lightly, spread with the prepared mixture and slip into
the well-greased paper-bag for five minutes just long enough to brown
the toast delicately and heat the savory.
=Anchovy Canapés.=--Cut white bread in oblong strips, spread lightly
with butter, and anchovy paste, and tuck into the buttered bag. Bake
five minutes, then serve hot, adding, if liked, to each canapé two
strips of boneless anchovy laid across it diagonally and a squeeze of
lemon juice.
=Caviare Canapés.=--Cut bread in circles and spread with a mixture of
three tablespoonfuls caviare paste, one teaspoonful lemon juice, one
half teaspoonful paprika, two tablespoonfuls of butter, and a half
cupful minced cress. Pop in the buttered bag and cook five minutes.
=Hot Cheese Canapés.=--Take circles or strips of Vienna bread, spread
lightly with butter, grate a little cheese over them, sprinkle on top a
little cayenne pepper and salt and put in bag. Cook five minutes.
=Cheese and Cracker Canapés.=--Split Boston crackers and soak ten
minutes in cold water. Lift out carefully and place on a well-buttered
baking tin. Drop on each a generous bit of butter, a sprinkling of
grated Parmesan or American cheese and a dusting of paprika. Put in the
bag, seal and bake fifteen minutes in a hot oven.
=Cheese Toast Sandwiches.=--Cut slices of white bread rather thicker
than for sandwiches. Chop fine one cupful of American cheese and two
green peppers with the seeds removed. Season with salt and pepper and
work to a paste. Spread one slice of bread with butter and its mate with
creamed filling. Press firmly together, take off the crusts, and put
into the buttered bag. Bake five minutes and serve very hot.
=Cracker Crisps.=--Dip oyster crackers or dinner biscuits in melted
butter, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and put in a paper bag. Bake ten
minutes.
=Deviled Crackers.=--Mix three tablespoonfuls of grated cheese,
one-fourth teaspoon of dry mustard, one teaspoon of anchovy paste, a
dash of cayenne and a pinch of butter. Spread over the crackers and put
in bag in a hot oven to brown.
=Diables à Cheval.=--Have ready large French prunes that have been
soaked twenty-four hours in water, then cooked and the pits removed.
Insert almonds in the cavity left by the pit. Toss in olive oil or
refined cotton seed oil or roll in thin slices of bacon, fastened with a
tooth pick, put in the bag, seal and cook eight minutes. Serve piping
hot.
