A historical recipe

Scientific feeding, by Roper, Dora C. C. L. (Dora Cathrine Cristine Liebel) (1914). Project Gutenberg eBook #75850.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Also printed in: Vegetarian supplement to Scientific feeding, by Roper, Dora C. C. L. (Dora Cathrine Cristine Liebel) (1915).

Ingredients 6 ingredients

  1. two cups of bread crumbs
  2. one-half cup of butter
  3. one-half cup of sugar
  4. a teaspoonful of salt
  5. a cupful of thick legume puree
  6. three well beaten eggs

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Pour two pints of hot milk over two cups of bread crumbs, cool a little, then cream one-half cup of butter with one-half cup of sugar, mix with the bread crumbs, adding three well beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of salt, a little nutmeg or cinnamon, the juice of one-half a lemon and the rind of two lemons.
  2. Mix well together, and bake in a buttered dish for fifty or sixty minutes.
  3. Serve with wine sauce, lemon, cherry or any kind of fruit sauce.
  4. Dried fruits may be mixed with the batter.
  5. Serve for supper, using broth, meat soup, or cream soup at the beginning of the meal.
