Put two ounces of butter in a saucepan over the fire with two
tablespoonfuls of milk. When this comes to a boil stir in four ounces of
flour; then add a cup of milk, let it cook, stirring all the time until
it no longer adheres to the pan, remove from the fire, let it cool and
then beat in three eggs, one at a time, two heaping tablespoonfuls of
grated Parmesan cheese, a saltspoonful of mace and a dash of salt. Set
it away to get cold, make it into small balls. Have a large saucepan of
boiling, salted water on the stove, drop the balls into it and let them
boil five minutes, take them out with a skimmer and drain well. Have
ready a cream sauce, put the balls in this, and when they are hot turn
into a baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until brown
in a quick oven.
Salads.
MAYONNAISE DRESSING.
One-half teaspoonful of mustard, one-half teaspoonful of sugar, one
teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne pepper; then add two raw egg
yolks, beat well and stir in a teaspoonful of strong vinegar; add very
carefully, drop by drop, a scant three-quarters of a cup of best olive
oil, and as it thickens half a teaspoonful of vinegar. This recipe never
fails, if the directions are carefully followed. The eggs and oil should
be kept in the refrigerator and be ice cold. Lemon juice may be used,
instead of vinegar, if preferred.
CREAM SALAD DRESSING.
One-quarter of a cup of strong cider vinegar, one cup and a quarter of
water, one-half cup of butter, one teaspoonful of mustard, one
teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful, slightly heaping, of corn
starch, one teaspoonful of sugar, a dash of cayenne pepper and the yolks
of four eggs. Put the vinegar and water in a saucepan and when it boils
add the butter. Beat the yolks of eggs and the other ingredients
together with an egg-beater, making it quite foamy and light; pour the
boiling vinegar and water upon this mixture, which will partially
thicken. The bowl in which it is mixed should be placed in a pan of hot
water on the stove, beating it all the time with the egg-beater. Just
before it reaches the boiling point remove and turn it out into a cold
bowl, beating hard for a few minutes. When perfectly cold pour it into a
glass jar, fasten down the top and keep in refrigerator.
FRENCH DRESSING.
One tablespoonful of vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of olive oil, a
saltspoonful of salt and one of white pepper, and a few drops of any
good sauce. Lettuce should be well washed in very cold water, leaf by
leaf, and drained in a basket, which comes for the purpose, then placed
on the ice, and at serving time put into the salad bowl. Lettuce should
never be cut with a knife, but torn with a fork and spoon, and it should
not be allowed to stand after the dressing is poured over it.
