Twenty lessons in domestic science

EGG NOODLES (Manufactured) : The manufactured egg noodles are treated the same as Macaroni and Spaghetti and if made by a reliable firm will be found to be a trifle richer in nutrition than the other pastes as egg enter into their manufacture. The egg noodles are perhaps a nicer addition to soups than any of the other pastes. The best of the manufactured noodles are superior to those made at home and make a better appearing dish. Hominy HOMINY, Explanatory : We have two sorts of Hominy, one almost the entire grain with the hull taken off, the other the grain ground after the hull has been removed. The latter is known as hominy grits. Both kinds should be soaked in cold water over night, then cooked slowly. The markets supply the soaked hominy. Dried hominy doubles in bulk when soaked. Domestic Science LESSON No. 11 Carbohydrates. To Cook Dry Hominy 1 cup dry hominy V2 teaspoon salt 1 quart water Preparation : Soak the hominy over night in water in which it is to be cooked. Add the salt and cook slowly about four hours. Cook in tireless cooker if possible. Hominy may be served plain, in place of potatoes, or with a little butter, salt, pepper or cream. Hominy with Tomatoes Au Gratin Cooked hominy Canned tomatoes Bread crumbs Grated cheese Seasoning of Bait and paprika Preparation: Brush a baking dish with melted shortening, put a layer of hominy, then tomatoes and sprinkle of bread crumbs and cheese. Make three layers, having cheese and bread crumbs finish top. Place in moderate oven for thirty minutes. Serve hot or cold. This dish is extremely nourishing. Brush a baking dish with melted shortening and line plentifully with bread crumbs. Put in an inch deep layer of cold cooked hominy, then seasoning of salt and paprika or chili powder and a grating of cheese. Cover with bread crumbs. Make two such layers. Before adding the top layer of crumbs pour over tomato juice and then for the top layer have a goodly quantity of bread crumbs and grated cheese. Set the dish in another one of hot water and bake onehalf hour. Hominy Fritters 2 eggs 1 cup cooked hominy V2 cup milk 1 teaspoon CALUMET Baking 1 teaspoon salt Powder Y2 cup flour Preparation : Break the two egg whites into a bowl and beat very stiff, drop in the yolks and beat a moment more. Then add flour, salt, milk and CALUMET. Lastly stir in the hominy. Give these slightly more time to bake than griddle cakes. Serve hot with maple syrup, or with fried chicken. These fritters may be fried in deep fat or oil. Grits Blocks They may be prepared in the same manner as hominy, put in a mold to cool, cut into strips, cover with beaten egg, and then cracker meal. Fry in deep fat. All measures level unless otherwise specified. Legumes Vegetables Containing Nitrogen and Starch Explanatory: The legumes are peas, beans, lentils and peanuts. They are rich in nitrogen and are exploited by vegetarians to take the place of meat in the dietary. Legumes furnish a hearty food and, supplemented by fats and other forms of starch than those which they contain, supply an energy making diet.
