THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Mandel Bread — Corrected Recipe
Because of a typographical error, some of our readers may get
iuto a bit of trouble if they try to make Mandle Bread with the recipe
published in our April Magazine. The variance was in the amount
of flour. The correct recipe follows:
MANDEL BREAD
4 eggs
1 c. sugar'
1 c. oil
Pinch salt
1 c. chopped almonds or pecans
3 c. enriched all-purpose flour
11. Baking powder
2 t. vanilla flavoring.
ETAOI1NUN
1. Beat eggs, add sugar and salt.
2. Add 14 of oil and 1 cup flour, all of baking powder and
Vi of nuts.
3. Add balance of oil, 1 cup of flour and balance of nuts.
4. Add balance of flour, then flavoring.
Set oven at 350 deg., lightly grease 2 large baking sheets.
Flour a heavy sheet of waxed paper. Spoon about % of dough
at a time onto floured waxed paper and shape into a loaf. Transfer
from paper to baking sheet. Bake about 25 minutes (until half
done), then remove from oven and slice diagonally. Place slices
on sides and return to oven for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly
“toasted.” Yield 8 to 9 dozen.
If you grow weary of serving
the customary plain omelette, try*"
this version which is most popular
among Near Eastern Jews who
have come to Israel. It is general
ly served with steamed rice or
“Rice Pilaff” as a foundation or
alongside the omelette. It can be
made on short notice and served
on toast for a substantial luncheon
main dish, or for informal suppers.
Here’s how it is made:
Apricot Omelette, Orientate
2 cups stewed dried apricots, pu-
reed, ot 1 large can apricot
halves, put through a sieve af-
- ter draining
cup butter or substitute
6 eggs
Ve teaspoon salt.
Be certain the apricot pulp is
thick enough to drop heavily from
a spoon. Heat the butter in a hea
vy frying pan over low heat while
beating the eggs with salt till cre
amy and light lemon colored. Turn
the apricot pulp into the heated
butter and add the beaten eggs.
Stir constantly to prevent forma
tion of lumps. It should be slightly
puffed and coagulated in about 8
to 10 minutes. Serve at once on
heated platter or round serving
plate with the steamed rice or
“Rice Pilaff” under or at the side
of the omelette. <5r, have toast
points ready and place, point up,
around and into the omelette. For
additional eye appeal, add an apri
cot half (canned) on top of each
portion. Serves 6.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
In 1934, The Southern Israelite
published a limited edition of a
book entitled “One Hundred Years
of Cultural Advancement of
Southern Jewry.”
I am most anxious to obtain a
copy of this book as it contains
stories and pictures of early mem
bers of my family here in At
lanta.
If any of your readers have this
book and are willing to part with
it, I should be very glad to buy it.
With many thanks for whatever
help you can give me.
—DOROTHY EISMAN
The Southern Israelite hopes
that some reader will either give
or sell a copy of this publication
to Mrs. Eisman. We have other
requests too and will be glad to
hear from readers who no longer
want to preserve this edition,
which surveyed in word and pic
ture form the history of Southern
Jewry. —THE EDITOR
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
The trustees of Zeta Beta Tau
“Homemaker Service”
For Incapacitated Aged
HARTFORD (JTA)—A home

thing on hand to serve at any
time? Here is the recipe we re
ceived, and our thanks to both
Mrs. Jackier and her Cleveland
friend:
Cherry Torte (A hasty-tasty)
18 honey graham crackers
V4 cup softened butter or sub.
A few drops of almond extract
1 can condensed milk (the
sweetened kind)
3 eggs separated
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice *
1 can sour pitted cherries,
drained
6 tablespoons sugar
A pinch of cream of tartar.
Roll the graham crackers very
fine. (Place them in a paper bag,
twist the bag opening, then use a
rolling pin). Place the crumbs in
a mixing bowl and add the soften
ed butter or substitute. Work this
with a fork till smooth and add the
almond flavoring. Press this mix
ture on the bottom and sides of a
pie pan and bake 8 to 10 minutes
at 375 deg. F. During the baking
process, prepare the filling by
beating the egg yolks with the
condensed milk till smooth. Add
one tablespoon sugar and lemon
juice, stirring till smooth. Add the
drained cherries. Turn the mixture
into the baked crumb shell. Beat
egg whites stiff, adding remaining
sugar a little at a time, and the
cream of tartar till it holds a peak.
Spread this over the top of filling
and slip under the broiler flame,
just long enough to brown lightly.
Serves 6.
Variation: Fold the beaten egg
whites into filling mixture. Fill the
baked crumb shell as soon as cool.
Refrigerate at least overnight for
best results.
