People who have a tendency to high blood pressure and those who suffer from intestinal indigestion should eat sparingly of macaroni and other white flour preparations.
MACARONI WITH CREAM.
Break up some macaroni and put in a saucepan, adding boiling water and a little salt. Boil for 30 minutes, and add more water if necessary. Dissolve some rice flour in a little cold water and thicken the macaroni, then cover and bake in an oven for 30 minutes or longer. Heat some rich cream in another saucepan and mix with the macaroni, and serve. Flavor with a little pepper, or finely chopped parsley.
NOODLES.
Beat two eggs with two large tablespoonfuls of water and a little salt. Mix with sufficient white flour to make a stiff paste. Put some flour on a wooden board, knead the dough and add more flour until hard and dry; then roll out as thin as possible, dry in the sun or on a table, and cut into fine strips. Boil in salted water for half an hour. Serve with tomatoes, grated Swiss cheese and lettuce.
DUMPLINGS.
LIGHT FLOUR DUMPLINGS.
Cream a tablespoonful of butter, and add to it a whole egg and the yolk of one egg, some salt, nutmeg, chopped parsley, and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Stir well for several minutes. Form small dumplings with a spoon, put into hot soup and boil eight minutes.
POTATO DUMPLINGS. No. 1.
Cream a tablespoonful of butter, add to it three yolks of eggs, a cup of cold grated potato, and one cup of dry bread crumbs. Flavor with lemon rind, salt and nutmeg, and mix the beaten whites of two eggs with it. Roll out into small dumplings, and boil eight minutes in soup or water.
