  A few of the delightful ways in which walnuts may be used on the table: NUT BREAD1 pound hard wheat flour. Mix with warm water; let it raise quite light, then mould, raise and bake as other bread. GEMSGraham, wheatlet or cornmeal gems are greatly improved by adding a few walnut kernels ground fine. NUT CAKE3 eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately, 1/2 cup—scant—butter, 3/4 cup milk, 1 cup walnuts ground or chopped, 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful each of lemon and vanilla, 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder, flour to make a moderately stiff batter. CHOCOLATE NUT CAKE3 eggs, 3/4 cup each of brown and white sugar, 3/4 cup of coffee and milk mixed, 1 cup ground walnuts, 4 tablespoonfuls melted butter, 2 teaspoonfuls ground chocolate or cocoa, most of 1 nutmeg grated, 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder, flour to make moderately stiff batter. More satisfactory results are obtained by baking either of these cakes in two deep layercake tins and putting the two parts together with any good filling. NUT COOKIES3 cups sugar—Extra C preferred—3/4 pound of butter, 2 or 3 eggs, 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoonful of baking powder, 1/2 a nutmeg, a little ginger and cinnamon, 1 cup walnuts ground fine, 4 cups of flour. Roll thin and bake in a quick oven. APPLE NUT SALAD4 cups of good tart apples cut in small cubes or chopped not too fine, 1 cup of coarsely ground, or chopped nuts. Stir lightly into these 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 of a nutmeg grated fine. DRESSING FOR SAME2-3 cup of cold water, 2 tablespoons strong vinegar, 1/2 cup of sugar. Add one egg, well beaten. Put this on the stove and stir constantly until well cooked. If this is done carefully it will not curdle. Take from the stove and add a lump of butter the size of a walnut, grate in a little nutmeg and stir gently until the butter is well melted and mixed. Some whipped cream may be added to this when cool if desired or convenient. |
