Crisco a pudding dish and dust it over with breadcrumbs. Put layer of
breadcrumbs at bottom, then spread in rhubarb. Beat Crisco and sugar
till creamy, beat in yolks of eggs, add grated rind of lemon, sift in
flour and salt. Spread this mixture over rhubarb and bake in moderate
oven twenty minutes. Beat up whites of eggs to stiff froth, add one
tablespoonful of sifted sugar and half teaspoonful lemon juice. Drop
in spoonfuls on top of pudding and return to oven to brown lightly.
Spanish Rice
1/2 cup Crisco
1/2 cupful grated cheese
6 tablespoonfuls rice
1 can tomatoes
5 small onions
1 cupful hot water
Salt and red pepper to taste
1/4 cupful chopped olives
Wash rice and put it in bowl, add Crisco, seasonings, cheese, hot
water, tomatoes, olives, and onions cut in small pieces. Turn into a
Criscoed fireproof dish and bake in moderate oven one hour, or until
rice is tender.
Timbale Molds
1 teaspoonful melted Crisco
3/4 cupful flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoonful salt
1/2 cupful milk
Sift flour and salt into bowl, add egg well beaten, milk and Crisco.
Beat five minutes then strain into cup. Have kettle of Crisco on
fire and heat until cube of bread will become golden brown in sixty
seconds. Heat timbale iron in hot Crisco, let stand two or three
minutes, then drain and dip into batter to half inch of top of iron;
submerge in Crisco and fry until batter is crisp and lightly browned.
Remove from iron and drain on paper. If batter does not cling to
iron, then iron is not hot enough. If Crisco sizzles considerably, and
batter case spreads out and drops from the iron, mold is too hot. If
iron is lowered too far into batter the case will come over top of
iron and be difficult to remove. Creamed dishes of all kinds can be
served in these cases. Cold custards, cooked vegetables, fruits or
ices may be also served in the cases.
Sufficient for forty cases.

half hours.
