The Hotel St. Francis cook book

Apple pie. For two pies line the plates with pie paste rolled very thin. Slice six good sized apples, add one-quarter of a pound of sugar and a teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon, mix and fill the plates. Wet the edges of the dough and cover with paste also rolled thin. Wash over with egg, make a few cuts in the center so the steam may escape while baking, and put in a moderate oven. When done dust with powdered sugar, and serve hot or cold as desired. If the apples are coarse it will be well to boil them a little in water with a piece of cinnamon and a very little sugar.

Serve in a long-stemed double grapefruit glass, put shaved ice in large glass around the smaller one. In small glass put sliced grapefruit mixed with powdered sugar. Tie a ribbon, with neat bow, around the glass. Eggs Benedict. Split an English muffin, toast on the inside, place on each half a small slice of broiled ham, on the ham a poached egg, cover with Hollandaise sauce, and place a piece of truffle on top. Layer cake. Eight eggs, one-half pound of sugar, one-half pound of flour, one-quarter pound of melted butter, and some flavoring extract. Beat the eggs with the sugar, on slow fire until warm, remove and continue beating until cold. Mix the flour in lightly and then add the melted butter, little by little, and the flavoring. Do not mix too much. Pour into a well-buttered mould and bake in a moderate oven for about three-quarters of an hour. Allow to cool, cut in three or four slices, and fill with cream, or jelly, or marmalade, as desired. Glace the top with icing and decorate. The American style layer cake is mixed in the same manner, but baked in shallow moulds, requiring only about ten minutes in the oven. The filling is then placed between the cakes, instead of slicing. Chocolate layer cake. Bake some layers as for moka cake, and put three or four, one on top of another, with chocolate butter cream filling between. The filling is made in the same manner as moka filling, but use one ounce of melted chocolate or cocoa instead of the coffee flavor. Glace the top of the cake with chocolate frosting and decorate with some of the chocolate cream filling, using pastry bag with fancy tube. Chicken, Edward VII. Boil the chicken in stock and stuff with rice as for Chicken Diva. Add small squares of truffles and goose liver natural. Serve with curry sauce.
