COLESLAW
Shred the cabbage fine and then chop one green pepper. Place in water
to crisp. Make a mayonnaise dressing by placing on a plate
Yolk of one egg,
One teaspoon of mustard,
One-half teaspoon of paprika,
One teaspoon of sugar,
One teaspoon of vinegar.
Work to a smooth paste and then add the oil slowly at first and then
faster until all the oil is thoroughly incorporated, beating it quite
hard. Add the salt to taste. Now add the vinegar to reduce to desired
consistency; then drain the cabbage, turn on a cloth and let dry
before pouring over the dressing. Use three-quarters cup salad oil.
MINCE PIE
Two cups of flour,
One-half teaspoon of salt,
One teaspoon of baking powder,
Two teaspoons of sugar.
Place in a mixing bowl and then sift. Now rub three-quarters cup of
shortening and mix to a dough with about six tablespoons of water.
Divide the dough, then roll out and cover a pie plate. Use one and
one-half pounds of mincemeat to fill. Cover with a crust and then wash
with beaten egg. Bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes.
NOTE.--To wash the pie use one-half of beaten egg, using the balance
in the chicken filling.
