=English Pasties.=--Cut any cold meat up into small pieces, add a cupful
of sliced potatoes, raw, and an onion chopped fine, some parsley and
pepper and salt to taste. Stew this until the potato is done and thicken
with flour rubbed in butter. Make a crust of flour and salt, using
chopped suet and butter in equal quantities for shortening and a
teaspoonful of baking powder to each quart of flour. Roll the crust out
thin and cut into large discs--the cover of a two quart pail makes a
good pastie cutter. Put two large spoonfuls of the meat mixture on the
crust and roll over, pinching edges together like a fruit turnover. Bag
and bake one-half hour in a hot oven. If there is any of the meat gravy
left serve it with the pasties.
=Olla Podrida Pie.=--Grease one of the oval wood dishes and line with a
crust about a quarter of an inch thick. Fill with meat scraps of any
sort cut small and heated together in a little stock or gravy, well
seasoned with tomato and powdered herbs. Small leftovers of any
vegetable, peas, corn or cauliflower may also be minced and added with
good effect. Cover with strips of good paste lattice fashion, slip into
a well-greased bag and cook half an hour in a moderate oven.
=Oyster Bundles.=--Cut generous, uniform slices of cold turkey or veal,
lay a slice of bacon on each, then an oyster on each slice of the bacon.
Roll the three together, fasten with tooth picks and put in buttered
bag. Bake fifteen minutes and serve with potatoes baked in another bag.
CHAPTER XVI.
CHEESE AND EGG DISHES.
=Cheese Ball With Tomato Sauce.=--MIX together two cupfuls grated
cheese, a cupful of fine bread crumbs, a quarter teaspoonful of salt and
a few grains of cayenne. Then add two eggs beaten stiff, shape in small
balls, roll in crushed cracker crumbs and lay in well-buttered bag. Bake
ten minutes and serve on triangles of buttered toast with tomato sauce.
=Cheese Fritters to Serve With the Salad Course.=--Beat two eggs, season
with salt, pepper and a suspicion of mustard and then lay in this
seasoned egg as many thin slices of American cheese as it will hold.
Have ready tart apples cored and sliced crosswise without peeling. Put a
slice of cheese between two rounds of apple, sandwich fashion, dip the
sandwiches in the egg, lay in a well-greased paper bag seal and cook ten
minutes. Serve very hot.
=Pepper Cheese.=--Take green peppers, scorch slightly in hot oven or
over the coals, then remove the outer skin with a sharp knife. Split the
peppers, remove the seeds, and put in their place a small roll of cream
cheese. Roll up again, skewer together with a wooden tooth-pick, dip in
beaten egg and cracker crumbs and put in well-buttered bag. Seal and
bake fifteen minutes in hot oven.
