Peanut Soup

Recipe

Title: Peanut Soup
Categories: African, Soups, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

1 pt Good stock (preferably made
-from chicken carcass with
-one onion
1 pt Shelled peanuts
1 c Milk

This is from an old, old book put out for British settlers in
Nyasaland in Africa. Not sure what that is today… The recipe is
simple and to the point and actually looks pretty good. I have some
other peanut soup recipes++Asian ones++that I’ll be posting for you
over the weekend.

Dry peanuts in the oven until the skin can be rubbed off and the nuts
are a deep biscuit in colour. Crush with a rolling pin, or mince, to
a very fine meal. Strain the stock and simmer with the nut meal for
1/2 hour or more. Season to taste. Before serving, stir in milk, or
even better, 1/2 small tin unsweetened condensed milk, add a little
butter and serve.

From “Nyasaland Cookery Book and Household Guide”. Compiled and
published by The Nyasaland Council of Women. P.O. Box 318, Limbe,
Nyasaland. No date given. [But it’s REAL old. S.C.]

  • Great-shape Cookies

    Recipe

    Title: GREAT-SHAPE COOKIES
    Categories: Cookies
    Yield: 30 servings

    1/2 c Butter
    1 c Granulated sugar
    2 x Large eggs
    1 tb Milk

    —————-KNEAD IN 1/4 C FLOUR LATER—————-
    2 1/2 c All-purpose flour,save 1/4 c
    2 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Vanilla
    1/2 ts Almond

    CHILL DOUGH SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT: Could put the
    dough in the freezer to chill, if in a hurry, for 1-2
    hours. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Grease cookie sheet
    (only ONCE). No need to grease it each time.
    Add ingredients together, saving out the 1/4 cup of
    flour. Knead the 1/4 cup flour into the dough now,
    chill. Roll out, using flour on surface, cutters and
    rolling pin, generously. Try to get more flour on tiny
    places.
    This is a great recipe for the creased cookie
    cutters, because it is delicious and dough does not
    lose its shape. For this type of cutter, roll to about
    1/4″ thickness, so dough is just thick enough to leave
    the cutter imprints. Ordinarily, roll dough to 1/4″
    thickness for best results. Any cookie will lose
    detail and shape when it is too thick. This cookie is
    good iced with thin royal icing. Cookie stays soft,
    but is not terribly fragile. Source: Shared with me by
    Mary Billersen of Cin. because I helped her replace
    some favorite cookie cutters she’d lost. These cookies
    have been a tradition in her family for generations.
