  • Omelet Bonne Femme Recipe from 1923

    This recipe comes to us from Reliable Recipes (1923), a collection of family recipes from the the Rector’s Guild of St. John’s Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. There’s tons of good recipes in here, and they seem easier to make than some other vintage ones so I’m determined to share as many of them as I can with y’all. For the first recipe to share I’ve picked a breakfast egg dish called “Omelet Bonne Femme.” 👉 More Breakfast Recipes / All Recipes / More from Reliable Recipes (1923) Original Recipe Here’s the original recipe: Cut one ounce of salt pork…

  • Cream Fritters Recipe from 1923

    This is an interesting dessert from the 1920s, from a church recipe book called Reliable Recipes. It looks like it’d be fairly fast to make, though you do have to wait a bit for it to set up before frying the fritters. Would be good to have it prepped before dinner, and then fry it right before eating. 👉 More Desserts / All Recipes / More from Reliable Recipes (1923) Original Recipe Here’s the original recipe text: CREAM FRITTERS1 pint milk1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn-starch1 large tablespoon flourYolks of 4 eggs14 cup sweet creamPinch of cinnamon Warm the milk in…
