I’m not a very good cook but I do enjoy cooking, especially des
serts. I like to cook them—and eat them. My family, Dr. Arfhistead;
Bill jr., 14; Jack, 11; and Sidney Merrill, 8; like to eat them too.
Devils Food Cake
This is a small devils food cake that I’ve been making since early
in our marriage. I think the recipe was in an advertising cook book.
It’s always moist and has a rich red color. The sour milk is easily
made with four teaspoons of lemon juice and enough sweet milk to
make one cup.

melted

gredients together twice then add alternately with sour milk. Bake
in two eight inch layer pans for 30 minutes or one 8x8x2 inch pan
for one hour in moderate oven. Ice with fluffy white or uncooked
chocolate frosting.
Lowell Inn Pecan Pie
* This pecan pie is a recent addition—one we ate at the Lowell Inn
in Stillwater, Minnesota. It’s very rich, but adding the pecans after
the pie is nearly baked jnakes them toasty and very good. I was
lucky enough to find the recipe in the St. Paul Women’s Club Cook
book. This is Bill jr.’s favorite dessert.
3 eggs, beaten 1 cup pecans
% cup sugar (You must use butter or it
% lb. butter, melted just won’t taste right or look
1 cup brown Karo right, either.)
Add 'sugar to beaten eggs, mix well and add butter and Karo.
Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes.
Sprinkle pecans evenly over top and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15
minutes more until pie is quite brown and toasty looking.
Pecan Crisp
We eat lots of cookies. Here is a favorite with my family and
especially with my coffee drinking friends. I found this one in a
magazine when \ye lived in Columbus, Ohio.
1% cups sifted flour % cup shortening
1 cup sugar 1 egg yolk
% teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons milk
1 egg white, unbeaten % teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans, finely chopped (
" Sift flour, sugar and salt in bowl. Add shortening and blend with
pastry blender until mixture looks like meal. Mix together egg yolk,
milk and. vanilla and blend into flour mixture as for pie crust. Round
yito balls and let rest a few minutes. Roll one ball at a time on lightly
floured board to 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness. Spread V2 egg white on
each and pat in gently one half of nuts in each. Cut in IV2 inch
squares or diamonds and bake on ungreased cookie sheet 9-10 minutes
at 375 degrees.
Pound Cake
Jack loves pound cake best of all and this is such an easy recipe
that I make it often. It was given to me by a friend in Houston many
years ago. The cake -keepg well; it is better if you let it rest a day
before using, and is best served in thin slices like your grandmother
Used to do. You may use all oleo,'-part oleo and part butter or all
butter. If you use all oleo, add % teaspoon salt.
Have all ingredients at room temperature. This is important.
V2 lb. oleo or butter 5 eggs, unbeaten
1% cup sugar IVz teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sifted flour
Cream buttCTT or oleo and add sugar. Add eggs one at a time beating
well after each addition. Add flour and vanilla and mix well. Pour
into bread-type loaf pan and bake one hour and 20 minutes at 325
degrees. Do not cool with cake top down. The results squash and
make the cake soggy.
