The Frontier Woman ... I Time Flees Except for Bride-Elects By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Its hard to understand (unless you're a prospective June bride to-be) where the time has gone this spring. Here it is the last of May and we haven’t gotten everything done that we wanted to do before June came along and hot weather with it! To save your time these days, rnake up some pastry mix for yourself, and use some pie mix fillings (pudding mix) to hurry things up. We know you have a million things to do. PIE CRUST MIX Use seven cups flour, four tea spoons salt and two cups lard. Sift the flour, measure and add the salt. Cut lard into flour with knives or pastry blender until the crumbs are coarse or gran ular. Cover and store in the re frigerator until ready to use. In using pie mix, 2Vz cups are required for a large two crust pie and lVz oi the pie mix for a one-crust pie. If your family is large and you eat quite a lot of pie, you may want to mix up and refrig erate about twice the above amount of pie crust mix. You can also make up a bis- ; cuit mix that will save you a lot of time and it’s cheaper than buying the prepared biscuit mix. HOME MADE BISCUIT MIX ! Eight cups flour, eight tea spoons baking powder, four tea spoons salt, 1 Vz cups lard. Sift flour and measure. Sift again with the baking powder and salt. Cut in the lard until the mixture has a fine even crumb. Place in a closed con tainer and keep in refrigerator, using as desired. This mixture will keep at least a month in the refrigerator. It will yield five batches with two cups of the mixture to the batch. It may be used for biscuits, dumplings, shortcake, waffles, muffins, quick coffee cake and dozens of other things. You use enough milk to make a soft dough. — tfw — O'Neill Reader Wins Subscription— Dear Mrs. Pease: Am sending in a few hints and recipes to try for the free sub scription to The Frontier. Hope these recipes and hints will help someone. lo root leaves of African vio clts and gloxinias, I have devis ed the following method: Make a cover for a flat salmon or tuna can from a piece of aluminum foil. Punch a hole in the foil for each leaf stem, one larger hole for replacing the water in the can. When the leaves are rooted, simply tear the foil apart to re move them for planting. Juices drained from canned vegetables can be frozen in any small container or cube tray and anyone or several vegetable juice “cubes” may be added to vegetable soup to give a de licious flavor. To thicken cherry juice for pie, place juice in a fruit jar, add flour, shake as for gravy thick ening. Cook over low heat in a frying pan, no stirring or watch ing needed. Same method for corn starch. Use leftover deviled eggs in salmon or tuna salad, especially for sandwiches, as they reduce the mixture to a better spread ing consistency. Leftover meat loaf, crumbled i or ground and combined with your favorite tomato soup, sauce, catsup, etc., makes very good “Wimpies,” or call them ON ALL GROCERY ORDERS Amounting to $5 or More RALYA IGA STORE what you will — anyway, serve on split buns. NEVER FAIL DUMPLINGS One cup unsifted flour, two teaspoons cornstarch, Vz tea spoon salt, one egg, Vz cup milk, three teaspoons baking powder. Beat egg well, add milk, add combined dry ingredients, all at once, stirring as little as pos sible. (Do not mix batter unt’l ready to use it.) Drop batter by tablespoons into slightly thick ened meat broth, Boil very gent ly for 15 minutes. Do not uncov er during this time. These will not be soggy, even if warmed over. (Editor’s note — I have been using the above recipe myself for years. But my recipe calls for two level tablespoons corn starch, and % teaspoon salt. And I steam the dumplings with tight cover on for 20 minutes, dropping on stew by teaspoons. I sometimes add % teaspoon sage to the batter for a new taste flavor. It does make a very light dumpling, and I have nev er known the recipe to fail. A couple of years ago, I heard a home economist give this recipe over the air. It matched the one I used exactly. Evidently the re cipe has been kicking around the country for years and years.) RHUBARB BATTER PUDDING Place three cups of fresh or frozen rhubarb in a quart sized casserole. Add one cup sugar, mixed with two tablespoons flour. Stir together, dot with butter, put in oven to start bak ing at 375 F. Prepare the following batter —% cup sugar, one egg, Vz cup sweet cream, % cup sifted flour, one teaspoon baking powder, 14 teaspoon salt. Beat eggs, add sugar and cream, then all dry ingredients. Pour over rhubarb, bake 45 minutes in 375 F. oven. Serve with plain or whipped cream. . „„„ AN O’NEILL READER O’NEILL LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. Weston D.
