Subject: Grated sweet Potatoe Pie
To: posts@chitterlings.com
I was told that to make a grated sweet pie you follow the same recipe.
The only thing that you do is GRATE your POTATOES. You will need to
add a little bit of flour to the mixture. Pour it into a pie shell. As
the pie bake you will need to stir it continually as it bake.
I got this information from Rev. Betty Smith who is a great cook...she
told me that our mother used to make this all the time. I will try it
today.

Old Fashioned Southern Tea
Cakes
1 cup Crisco
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk with 1/2 teaspoon soda
stirred into it
2 teaspoons vanilla
Self-rising flour as much as it takes to
make a stiff dough (try 3-1/2 cups to start
- I probably use about 6 cups)
Cream Crisco and sugar. Add eggs one at a
time beating between each. Add
milk, vanilla and flour. Let set in
refrigerator for two hours. Roll out very
thin, cut and bake at 325 to 350 degrees depending
upon your oven. Bake until golden
brown on bottom.
It takes awhile to make these cookies, but
they are worth every minute of it when
they are your children's favorite.

Tongue is one of the least tender of meat sundries.
It is sold fresh,pickled,corned or smoked. Pork & lamb tongues are
small & and are usually sold ready to serve;calf & beef tongues
aare
much larger & must be cooked by moist heat until they are thoroughly
tender.
To prepare tongue for cooking, scrub it thoroughly
in warm water, using a small brush. Soak smoked or pickled tongue for
severaal hours before cooking.
Directions for cooking tongue
Tongue is aalways cooked in water. Place in pot &
cover completely with water,allowing 1 tsp.salt for each
quart water if the tonhue is fresh. Omit salt for cured
tongues.
Cover & simmer until tongue is tender. A large beef tongue will take
3-4 hours.
Place tongue in cold water to losten skin;remove skin & cut away
roots.
If tongue is to be served cold, cool in the cooking water.
Serve with chili sauce or horse-radish white sauce.
-------------------------
Boiled Beef Tongue
1 Beef tongue,fresh,corned or smoked.
4 whole cloves
1 Tablespoon salt ( for fresh tongue)
6 peppercorns
1 Tablespoon vinegar
Scrub the tongue under running water;plaace in dep kettle.
Corned or smoked tongues are improved by soaking in cold water for
several hours and then cooked in fresh water.
Add the season; cover with boiling water. Boil 110 minutes,then
simmer about 3 hours or until a fork
will penetrate readily to the center..... Allow the tongue
to remain in the water until cool enough to handle.
Peel off the outer skin and cut out he membranous portions of the
roots. Press into shape for serving.
Tongue may be served hot with horseradish sauce or may be pressed
like corned beef.
-----------------------------------
Calf's brains are considered the most delicate but the
brains of other animals can be used. Remove the membrane fromm the
brains;simmer 20 minutes in 1 quart of water to which have been added
1 teaspoon salt & 1 tablespoon vinegar. Drain; when cool seperate
the
brains into small pieces or slice them. Brains can be prepared
according to any of the recipesfor sweetbreads.
Brains Scrambled with Eggs
1/2 lb brains
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons tomato catsup
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter or other fat
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
Cook the brains according to the preceding recipe;break into 1/2
inch pieces. Beat the eggs
slightly; add the seasonings and the brains. Heat
the buter in a frying pan;pour in the mixture of
seasoneed eggs & brains; cook like scrambled
eggs. Serve on a hot platter;sprinkle with the
chopped parsley.
---------------------------
Broiled Calf's Heart
Remove the veins and arteries from calf's heart; wash and cut
crosswise into thin slices. Broil or pan-broil for 10-15 minutes. The
flavor is improved if tiny dice of salt pork or bacon are sprinkled
over the slices during broilng.
-----------------------------
Stufffed Calf's Heart
Remove veins & arteries from a calf's heart; wash. Fill
the cavity with bread stuffing, allowing about 1/2 cup fo each heart.
Roll the heartin seasoned flour . Pan-fry in a small amount of hot
fat, turning so that surface will be
uniformly browned. Remove to a casserole; rinse the frying pan wih
hot water and the water into the casserole; the heart should be about
1/2 covered.
Cover the casserole and cook in a moderate oven
(350 degrees) for 2 hours. Remove the heart to a
serving dish, pour the stock into a saucepan and stir
in 1-2 Tablespoons flour which have been mixed to a
paste with cold water. Stir until the sauce boils, season, pour around
the heart.
I hope these help you out. I copied them out of some very old
cookbooks i have.
Enjoy!!!!! Tracey Glasswomn9
