Avgolemno
Soup
Traditional
Greek light lemon flavoured soup (Serve
4-6, hot or cold)
|
|
 |
- Heat
the strongly flavoured chicken stock
in a pan. When boiling, add rice and
cook for 12 minutes or until rice is
cooked.
- Meanwhile, beat
the eggs well with the lemon juice,
until frothy. Take the soup pan off
the heat and allow to cool slightly
before adding 4-5 tablespoons hot stock
to egg mixture. Stir in well.
- Pour the stock
and rice into the top of a double boiler.
Strain the egg mixture into the stock,
and stir in well. Stir over gentle heat
while the soup thickens. Do not boil,
or the eggs will curdle.
- When soup is creamy,
add the lemon rind and adjust seasoning.
If serving hot, pour into soup cups,
put a spoonful of cream into each and
sprinkle with chopped parsley. If serving
cold, allow soup to cool, add the slightly
whipped cream, then chill before serving.

Prune Cake A Favorite Recipe For Special Occasions
By Melba Lovelace
|
| DEAR MELBA: Donna Taylor requested
a prune cake recipe from an old Parade magazine.
This may not be the recipe she wants. However,
I first made this cake in 1933. I'll be 90 in
August. A friend gave me the recipe, and I've
been making it for years for special holidays. |
| Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour two layer pans or one
9x13-inch pan. Cream together shortening
and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Sift
together dry ingredients. Add to shortening-sugar
mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir
in prunes. Spread in prepared pans and
bake 25 to 30 minutes.
