T
Family Favorites
By Mrs. H. A. Luther
(Ed. note—Guest editor this week is Gertrude Luther, wife of
H. A. Luther of the mathematics department. Originally from Eire,
Pa., the Luthers have lived here for 17 years. They have three chil
dren, Mike, 14, liicci, 13, and Mark,11, all students at A&M Con
solidated school. A graduate of the American Conservatory of
Music in Chicago, Mrs. Luther teaches piano here. She taught public
school music before coming to College Station. The Luthers are
members of the Promonaders dance club.)
I’m very flattered that I should be included as an editor
for this column—there are so many fine cooks in College
Station.
My family voted on these because they’re different from
other people’s and are our favorites. 1 have had several
requests for the sponge cake recipe. As for the beans and
barley, I’ve taken it to covered dish suppers here, and the pot
tilways comes home empty, which should justify its appear
ance in this column.
4 eggs separated
1 c. sugar
3 tbs. cold water
1 tsp. lemon extract
Cream Sponge Cake
1
flour less 1 Vt this.
1 Vz tbl. cornstrach
1 !4 tsp. baking powder
fi tsp. salt
Sift sugar once before measuring and four times after. Sift flour
once before measuring, then sift all dry ingredients together once.
Beat egg white until stiff but not dry and beat in gradually one
tablespoon of sugar for each egg white and set aside.
Beat egg yolks with same beater until thick and lemon-colored.
Then beat in remaining sugar. Beat in water and flavoring.
Fold beaten whites into yolks.
Sift about 1/3 of flour mixture over egg mixture and fold in. Itc-
peat until all is used.
Do not grease pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 min.
This is the basic sponge cake recipe 1 use in many different ways.
To make the whipped cream cake requested for this column I simply
increase the amount to IVz recipes (since the above makes a small
cake) and bake in an angel food tin. Substitute strong cold coffee for
all of the liquid in the recipe. When cold split the cake thru the center
(use your bread knife) and use whipped cream, flavored with coffee
and sugar, between layers and as icing. Sprinkle with finely chopped
nuts. It takes a full pint of whipped cream to cover the cake. Can be
fixed hours ahead and stored in refrigerator until time to serve.
Though .desserts are more or less my specialty it take more than
fluff to fill a 6 ft., 14 year-old son not to mention the rest' of the
family. It takes something like the following “family favorite” to do
the job.
Beans And Barley
1 c. navy beans 1 large onion
1/3 c. barley % c. canned tomatoes
Beef brisket (about 1 lb. will bo Salt (it will take more than you
enough for flavor — more if think)
you want some meat to eat) Pepper
Soak beans overnight. Pour off water. Combine all ingredients in
large casserole, roasting pan or what have you and cover with water.'
Bake in slow oven at 275 degrees for about 5 hours. Uncover last hour
for browning. Add water if necessary since beans should not be baked
dry.
The week would start all wrong if anything but pancakes and
sausage came to our Sunday breakfast table. But none of your package
mixes—it took many a “flop” jack (and I spell that advisedly) before
I finally worked out the following recipe for our favorite pancakes.
Corn Cakes
c. flour
j c. corumeal (we prefer the
yellow)
tsp. baking powder
1. tsp. salt
.1 tsp. sugar
Sift together dry ingredients.
Beat egg in measuring cup and fill to top. .with milk. Stir into dry
ingredients. Add another % cup milk and one good tbl. melted butter.
.Batter should be on the thin side so add more milk if necessary. Do
not grease griddle. Of course, you know that your griddle is hot
enough when drops of cold water when springled on it dance madly
around. Use a medium flame and don’t worry if the first one sticks a
Kt — the rest won’t. I frequently substitute 14 c. buttermilk for same
nnount of milk and add a pinch of soda to dry ingredients. Any left
over batter keeps perfectly for’several days in refrigerator. ,
|: Ed. correction—In last week’s column edited by Mrs. A. C.
.Magee there was an error in the baking instructions for the “cereal
Bread” recipe. The directions should have read: “Bake at 375
degrees for 15 minutes, and then lower to 325 degrees for 35
minutes.”

FOR THE RICH THEY HOOT
FORD CITY, Pa. — (TP) — Resi
dents of Ford City have “experienc
ed difficulties with dive bombing
oavIs” says District Game Protec

“About dusk, for several eve

have been reported elsewhere in
the state this year.

a mid-morning snack and pick-up,
or for a first course at lunch or
dinner. Put about a cup and a
half of canned tomato juice in a
small saucepan; sprinkle an envel

juice and stir well. Place over
moderate heat and stir until the
gelatin dissolves and tomato juice
is hot. Nice to drink!
