Show Pan Dowdy. Pare and quarter enough sour, juicy apples to nearly fill an earthen baking dish, add to the apples half a cupful of hot water and nearly a cupful of molasses. For crust use one quart of flour, one teaspoonful soda, two tea-spoonfuls tea-spoonfuls cream of tartar, one tea-spoonful tea-spoonful salt, half a cupful creamed butter, one pint rich, sweet milk. Mix soda, cream of tartar and salt well into dry fl6ur, work the creamed butter but-ter into the prepared flour till fine and yellow. Add milk to this mixture and mold to a delicate dough. Roll it out an inch thick and fit closely over the apples. Bake in a moderate oven as long as the crust will allow. When done, while warm, break the crust into pieces and mix through the apples; serve with cream or milk. |
