all the water has drained off, beat up three eggs in a large bowl,
mix the noodles with the beaten eggs. Grease an iron pudding dish with
plenty of goose grease or drippings, put in a layer of noodles, then
sprinkle one-fourth cup of sugar, some pounded almonds, the grated peel
of one lemon and a few raisins; sprinkle some melted fat over this, then
add another layer of noodles, some more sugar and proceed as with the
other layer until all the noodles are used. Bake two hours. Broad or
fine noodles are equally good for this schalet. If desired, one tart
apple chopped very fine may be added with the almonds.
CARROT SCHALET
Boil one pound of carrots, let them get perfectly cold before grating
them. In the meanwhile cream a heaping tablespoon of drippings or
chicken fat and four tablespoons of sugar, add gradually the yolks of
four eggs, the grated peel of one lemon, one teaspoon of cinnamon, a
little grated nutmeg, three tablespoons of flour, one teaspoon of
baking-powder, pinch of salt, and the beaten whites last. Heat a few
tablespoons of fat in a pudding dish, pour in the mixture and bake in a
moderate oven one hour, then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon and return to
oven for a few moments to brown. Serve hot.
SEVEN LAYER SCHALET
Take two cups of flour, one egg, three tablespoons of fat, one cup of
water, a little sugar, pinch of salt, and knead lightly. Put dough aside
in a cold place while you prepare a mixture of one cup of sugar, one and
one-half teaspoons of cinnamon and three tablespoons of bread crumbs.
Cut dough in seven pieces and roll out each piece separately. Place one
layer on a greased baking-tin and spread the layer with melted fat and
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon; place upon this the second layer,
sprinkle on this two ounces of sweet and bitter almonds which have been
grated and mixed with sugar; over this place the third layer and spread
with oil, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and one-half pound of
cleaned, seedless raisins. Place the fourth layer on and spread with
jelly and one-half pound of citron cut up very small. Cover over with
another layer, spread fat and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and
grated lemon peel and juice of lemon. Place the sixth layer and spread
and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Put on the last layer and spread
with fat and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Cut in four-cornered
pieces and bake thoroughly and until a nice brown.
