Dade County's Only Newspaper. 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!

THE DADE GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1951 Rising Fawn Community Wins By A Close Decision Rising Fawn is the county winner in the Improvement Con¬ test and it was a very close race. The judges were really hard pressed to make a decision of whether the Slygo or Rising Fawn communities would be the county winner. This is the first year the Slygo community has entered an improvement contest and they very nearly won over Ris¬ ing Fawn which was also coun¬ places pointed out in passing. ty winner last year.
