HOW TO PREPARE RECIPES

POPOVERS

Place the popover pans in the oven to heat.  Break one egg in a measuring cup and then fill with milk and turn into the mixing bowl and add

  One-half teaspoon of salt,
  One cup of sifted flour.

Beat with a Dover egg-beater for five minutes and then remove the smoking hot popover pans from the oven and grease well.  Pour in the batter and place at once in a hot oven and bake for thirty-five minutes.  Do not open the oven door for ten minutes after the popovers are placed in the oven.  When the popovers are twenty-five minutes in the oven, turn down the gas and then bake slowly to thoroughly dry out for the balance of the time allowed for baking.

This amount will make eight small or six large popovers.  Now, while the popovers are baking, the creamed beef can be prepared.  Cut one-quarter pound of dried beef fine, using a pair of scissors to cut with.  Place in a pan and cover with boiling water and let stand for five minutes.  Drain and then make a cream sauce as follows: 

Place one and one-half cups of milk in a saucepan and add six tablespoons of flour and stir to dissolve, and then bring to a boil and cook for three minutes.  Add the prepared dried beef and two tablespoons of finely minced parsley and let simmer slowly until the popovers are ready.

Cut a slice from the tops of the popovers and fill them with the prepared creamed beef.  Place a tiny dot of butter on top of each popover and dust lightly with paprika.

KIDNEY PIE

The meat pie can be made to be an economical dish.  These pies are served in the Chelsea Coffee House in London.

Remove the fat and tubes from one large beef kidney and then cut into pieces the size of a walnut.  Place in a saucepan and add three cups of boiling water and let simmer slowly for ten minutes.  Turn into a colander and let the cold water run on the kidney for five minutes.  Now return the kidney to the saucepan and add
