Uses for .Mayonnaise In making sandwiches for lunch, if mayonnaise is used instead of butter, it will be lound more economical and will also keep the bread fresh and moist. Don't throw away that half cup of sour cream. Just whip it up well, with the addition of one teaspoon of thick mayonnaise, to serve with lettuce, let-tuce, sliced cucumbers or shredded cabbage. Substitute of Celery Uso .Ihe crLsp parts of cabbage.. Sprinkle with celery salt or crush a few celery seeds. Put In ice water, soak the cabbage In this water for an hour. When used in a salad It can scarcely be told from celery. improving Yellow Icing The "eggy" taste of icing made with egg yolk is entirely eliminated if tho juice of a lemon is added and thoroughly beaten with sufficient pulverized sugar su-gar to make stiff enough to spread. Pulverized sugar mixed with milk, cream, cold coffee or water, should have a small quantity of butter added to make a smooth Icing that does not dry out. Use for Left-Over Cocoa Use leftover left-over cocoa in making gingerbread, in place of a cupful of milk. Sometimes add a little milk and use It In' a tapioca tapio-ca or cornstarch pudding. When Making Pancakes, beat the white of the egg separate and make very stiff and add last. Makes too pancakes much lighter. |
