YORKSHIRE PUDDING.
Jewish Recipes
Mix into a smooth batter half a pound of flour, four eggs, if intended
to be rich, otherwise two, a pint of milk, and a little salt, it
should be about an inch thick; it can be made with or without milk by
using a greater proportion of eggs, but it is not so good.

TAPIOCA CREAM. MRS. O. W. WEEKS.
Soak one teacup of tapioca in water over night. In the morning, set
one quart of milk in a kettle of boiling water, and let it come to a
boil. Stir the yolks of three eggs into the tapioca, with one cup of
sugar; let it boil a few minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff
and put on the top of the cream. Serve cold.
Serves 4
Recipes don’t get much easier on the cook than this. Anne Nesbit developed it for Perdue Farms. One of her jobs as a Perdue home economist was to translate some of the world’s most successful recipes into ones that were both easy to assemble and quick to prepare. “I’m an admirer of simple recipes,” says Anne. “My heart was in this work because I believed in it. People want food that looks good and tastes good, but they don’t have time to put a lot of work into getting there.” I’ve never met Anne, except over the phone, but from this comment, I know I would like her. The recipe isn’t fancy, and it may be old-fashioned, but it’s a treasure when you’re in a hurry.
1 chicken, cut in serving pieces
dehydrated onion soup mix

~CHICKEN GRAVY
Put into a stockpot the bones and trimmings of a fowl
or chicken with a small quantity of stock and boil them. Add flour and
butter to thicken it, and then place the pot on the side of the stove
and let simmer. Stir well and after the gravy has simmered for some
minutes skim and strain it, and it will be ready to serve.
Makes 4 packets
The whole picnic meal is ready to serve when these come out of the oven — and there are no portioning and serving problems. Children love this idea. You can also cook this on an outdoor grill.

JAPANESE OR CHINESE RICE
Wash one cup of rice, rubbing it through
several waters until the water runs clear. Put in porcelain-lined
stewpan with a quart of soup stock and bay leaves and boil twenty
minutes. The stock must be hot when added to the rice. Shake the kettle
in which it is cooking several times during the cooking and lift
occasionally with a fork. Do not stir. Pour off any superfluous stock
remaining at the end of twenty minutes, and set on the back of the stove
or in the oven, uncovered, to finish swelling and steaming. Just before
serving add one cup of hot tomato juice, a quarter cup of butter, a
tablespoon chopped parsley, a dash of paprika, and one tablespoon of
grated cheese. Serve with grated cheese.
STUFFED BEEFSTEAK. E. H. W.
Take a flank or round steak and pound well; sprinkle with pepper and
salt. Make a plain dressing; spread it on the steak; roll it up; tie
closely, and put in a skillet with a little water and a lump of butter
the size of an egg; cover closely and let it boil slowly one hour;
then let it brown in skillet, basting frequently. When done, dredge a
little flour into the gravy, and pour over the meat.
1 package (8-ounces) spaghetti
Oil for deep frying
Cook spaghetti as package directs. Run cooked spaghetti under cold water; drain. Gently toss spaghetti with a little oil. Over index fingers, fold five or six spaghetti strands in half. Drape folded spaghetti over edge of 7- x 3-1/2-inch sieve, so that loops fall to outside of sieve and ends into center. Continue to place folded spaghetti (5 to 6 strands at a time) around edge of sieve. Intertwine ends of spaghetti in center to form a woven pattern that will make the noodle basket stronger and prevent spaghetti from separating during frying. Extra spaghetti can be added in center of sieve to reinforce pattern. When basket is complete, place another sieve on top to hold in place.
In large saucepan, pour enough oil to cover sieve; over medium-high heat, heat to 375oF or until a small piece of spaghetti sizzles and turns golden when placed in oil. Submerge sieves, with spaghetti between, and deep-fry until noodle basket is lightly browned; remove and drain on paper towels.
Makes 1 large basket or 3 small baskets (4 x 2-1/4)
Note: To make smaller baskets, drape spaghetti over a sieve measuring 4 x 2-1/4-inches; repeat for 3 baskets.

DEVONSHIRE JUNKET
1 quart Milk—4d.
1 tablespoonful Rennet
1 oz. Sugar—1d.
Nutmeg—1/2d.
Total Cost—51/2 d.
Time—Two Hours.
Make the milk tepid, stir in the sugar and a spoonful of rennet or a rennet tablet; pour into a dish and stand on the stove till solid. Grate a little nutmeg on top and serve cold. Rennet can be bought at the chemist’s ready for use; but rennet tables, which answer very nicely, can be used instead. These can be bought in many places, and keep good a long time.
CORN OYSTERS. MRS. J. C. WALTERS.
Grate and chop one pint of young sweet corn; add one egg, well beaten;
one teacupful flour, three tablespoonfuls cream, one teaspoonful salt.
Fry like oysters.
People sometimes ask things like “Why are these recipes famous?” or “Why are these famous recipes?” Those are good questions and they deserve good answers.
Sorry, … these are the only answers we have.
They are famous because they are here (on Famous Recipes) and because we say so.
If they were not here, no one would find them and they would not become famous.
