Recipes.
Bread Savoury Pudding.

Put into a deep basin enough stale bread pieces to fill a pie dish. Pour over it some boiling stock or gravy well seasoned with salt and pepper. Cover, and leave until the bread has soaked up all the liquid. Fry in good beef or bacon dripping, two chopped onions, and a minced apple, and flavour with 1/4 teaspoon of dried herbs, or just powdered sage. Beat the soaked bread with a fork, add the fried apple and onion, and when well mixed stir in a beaten egg. Turn into a well-greased piedish, cover thickly with dried breadcrumbs, dot with butter, and bake for one hour.

Apple Relish.

Peel and chop a very small mediumsized eating apple and a medium-sized onion. Put in a screw-top jar with a little chopped chilli, a teaspoonful of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cover with cold vinegar.

This is delicious on buttered savour biscuits, or with cold meat or any salad, and it is cheap and easy to make. It will keep well, too.

Cream Puffs.

Put one cup of water and 1/2 lb. of butter into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Stir in 1/4 lb. of flour (that has been sifted with a good pinch of salt) and keep stirring while it boils for two minutes. Turn into a mixing bowl and allow to cool a little, then beat in 4 eggs, one at a time. Beat this batter well. Butter some paper, put teaspoonsful of the batter in ball shapes on this, and bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes. When cold, slit near the top, fill with sweetened whipped cream, flavoured with vanilla.

Date Creams.

Wash and stone the dates, fill with coloured and flavoured foundation cream. Press into shape and roll in desiccated coconut or granulated sugar.
