Beat the whites of six eggs separately. Beat the yolks with three
table-spoons of milk and one table-spoon of flour; stir the whites in
lightly. Cook in a hot buttered skillet. When the edge is cooked, turn
over carefully. In two minutes more, double together on a hot platter.
Use no salt.
ESCALLOPED EGGS.
Cut light bread in pieces about three inches square and one and a half
inches thick; dip in milk, then scoop out about two-thirds of the
center. Fill with egg prepared as for omelet, and bake in a quick oven.
RAW OYSTERS.
It is an old theory that a raw oyster digests itself. This is owing to
the diastase or glycogen in the liver. A fat oyster is half liver.
Cooking destroys this diastase. So also much vinegar and condiments
make it slow to assimilate. Alcohol also destroys the diastase.
Valuable in nervous dyspepsia, and consequently useful in the early
months of pregnancy.
STEWED OYSTERS.
Take one pint of milk, one cup of water, a tea-spoon of salt; when
boiling, put in one pint of bulk oysters. Stir occasionally and remove
from the stove before it boils. An oyster should not be shriveled in
cooking.
BROILED OYSTERS.
Put large oysters on a wire toaster. Hold over hot coals until heated
through. Serve on toast moistened with cream. Very grateful in
convalescence.
GRAHAM GEM PUDDING.
Take six cold gems, baked the day before, break into small pieces and
pour over them a pint of hot water and half cup of sugar; stir in six
large tart apples, cut in thin slices. Bake two hours. Other fruits are
sometimes used.
CRACKED WHEAT PUDDING.
In a deep two-quart pudding dish put layers of cold, cooked cracked
wheat, and tart apples sliced thin, with four table-spoons sugar.
Raisins can be added if preferred. Fill the dish, having the wheat
last, add cup of cold water. Bake two hours.
FARINA BLANC-MANGE.
Stir into a quart of boiling milk farina enough to make a thin pudding,
then set away to cool. Before the farina is quite cold, stir in the
yolk of one egg and a little sugar, then add the whites of two eggs
whipped to a stiff froth and beat thoroughly. It is more creamy if not
made too thick with farina. Serve cold with fruit or jelly.
RICE PUDDING.
One quart new milk, two table-spoons rice, two table-spoons sugar,
pinch of salt, one tea-spoon lemon extract, or if preferable, half cup
of raisins. Bake three hours in a moderate oven.
For summer it is delicious cold. Better made in a large quantity.
APPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING.
Soak a tea-cup of tapioca in a quart of warm water three hours. Cut in
thin slices six tart apples, stir them lightly with the tapioca, add
half cup sugar. Bake three hours. To be eaten with whipped cream. Good
either warm or cold.
INDIAN FRUIT PUDDING.
One pint cornmeal mush made with water. Add one pint stewed dried
apples, peaches or prunes, one half pint water, one cup sugar. Stir
ingredients well together. Bake five hours.
