VOLUME LI
DALLYIN’ IN DADE
By Myrna R. McMahan
A master In the field of cu¬
linary arts, our personality this
week attaches the title “Mrs.”
before her name instead of our
customary “Mr.” Famous in the
county for her delectable re¬
cipes, Mrs. E. G. Wright, Sr.,
with her hearty good humor,
would be welcome help in any¬
one’s kitchen.
Not so many years ago, Mrs.
Wright operated the Trenton
Coffee Shop, where her old-
fashioned chicken pie was a
favorite. She confesses that it’s
a favorite with her, too, so we
would like to share it with you.
Most people like peas, celery
and boiled eggs in chicken pie,
but not Mrs. Wright—when she
wants chicken, she wants chi¬
cken.
Her original recipe, which she
perfected herself, is as follows:
tender and salt to taste. Re¬
move from broth and cool. Cut
meat off the bones in medium¬
sized pieces; thicken broth with
cream and flour of medium
thickness (a cream gravy is too
thick), put chicken back into
the broth and set aside until
ready to use.
Crust: Make a very rich bis¬
cuit dough of two cups plain
enriched flour, 2 tsp. soda (the
soda absorbs much of the
moisture of the chicken and
makes a crisp, crunchy crust),
% tsp. salt, 1 cup buttermilk
and about one cup shortening.
Add enough flour to make a
fairly stiff dough. Roll 1-8
“thick, cut in 3 or 4” squares,
and make a slash In each
square.
Pour half the chicken mix¬
ture into a baking pan or me¬
dium sized roasting pan,
sprinkle lightly with black pep¬
per (Mrs. Wright likes a lot of
pepper), dot with butter and
place the squares of dough on
top of the chicken. Bake in
375 degree temperature oven
until a golden brown.
Cover with the rest of the
chicken mixture, repeat the
pepper and butter procedure,
then cover with the remaining
dough. Bake this until the crust
is the same rich golden brown.
Serve it very hot, but if you
have to set it aside for awhile
or the pie is too dry, make an
opening between the squares of
dough and pour in a little
sweet milk. You can be per¬
fectly safe in reheating the pie
in the oven after it cools if you
use this method.
Mrs. Wright laughingly says,
“My grandmother used to say,
a chicken pie wasn’t worth
eating if you couldn’t smell it
from the front gate to the
back.” We’ll guarantee that you
can smell this pie from the
mailbox cn the highway. She
suggests either creamed aspa-
ragus or green peas, steamed
rice, a chopped green salad, hot;
rolls rolls nr or rnrn corn nr or bran bran muffins, muffins,
with coffee to complete the
meal.
Aren’t you so hungry right
now that you could wade into
that chicken pie with both
hands? We gave you the recipe
—now try it!

Rising Fawn Community
