Spoon Bread

I was browsing through my "Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes Revised" book earlier and I happened upon a recipe that I thought sounded very interesting. I never heard of spoon bread before, but it looks to me that it is a type of corn bread. Here you all go and happy cooking!

Ingredients:
1 cup corn meal
2 cups cold water
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
2 or 3 eggs
2 tablespoons melted fat.

Directions:
Mix up the corn meal, water, and salt together. Then boil for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Beat up the eggs and add into the mixture along with the milk, and the melted fat. Mix well then pour into a greased pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes in a hot oven. (about 400 degrees F)

Serve warm!


So, it is a bit different from other corn bread recipes that I have seen, but I am not sure how different it will taste. If anyone has ever had it or tries it, do comment and let me know!

Frosted Scrambled Eggs

This recipe comes from "Better Cooking and Homemaking" from the December 1942 issue. I picked this recipe to share because it sounded interesting and before I saw this, I had never even heard of "Frosted Scrambled Eggs".

Frosted Scrambled Eggs-
Ingredients-
6 eggs
1/2 cup of milk or cream
3/4 teaspoon of salt
Pepper to Taste

Directions-

1. Separate the egg yolks and whites of two of the eggs. Save the whites for the frosting.

2. Combine the yolks with the other four eggs, milk or cream, and seasoning.

3. Beat slightly.

4. Beat the whites stiff with a dash of salt and set aside.

5. Scramble the eggs in butter until almost done, but before they are fully cooked, spread the sauce over the eggs.

6. Quickly place eggs into a hot oven-- roughly 450 degrees, and cook until lightly brown.

7. Serve Immediately and Enjoy!

Obviously because this recipe calls for you to put the skillet in the oven, since you wouldn't want to have to move the eggs into another dish entirely (although you could, but I wouldn't add in the sauce until they are in the new dish that is going to go into the oven), I suggest that you use a cast iron skillet that can go in the oven!
