Breakfast - Tuesday - Lesson 4
Iced Cantaloupe Or Grape Fruit
Cream Of Wheat With Dates
Iced Cantaloupe
The evening before, wash melons, place in refrigerator to thoroughly chill them for breakfast. In the morning cut them in two, scoop out the seeds, and serve.
Cream of Wheat With Dates
Follow the directions given for cooking oatmeal, using, however, 3/8 cup Cream of Wheat to 2 cups boiling water. Care must be taken in stirring the cereal into the boiling water, that it does not lump.
In the morning just before serving, stir into the cereal about 8 dates scalded and cut into small pieces, or sprinkle them over the top.
Muffins
Sift together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Beat an egg without separating until light; add 1 1/4 cups milk, and stir at once into the dry ingredients.
Add 2 tablespoons melted butter, beat thoroughly, and bake about 25 minutes in a hot, well-greased muffin pan in a moderately hot oven.
Coffee
Follow directions given in Lesson 1.
Preparing The Meal
Light the gas' under the cereal, and put on a kettle of water to heat.
Have the muffin pans, measuring cup, spoons, knife, flour, baking powder, etc., on the table before beginning to work. Now light the oven and proceed to make the muffins.
When the muffins are in the oven, grind and make the coffee; and while that is cooking, set the table, cut the butter, fill the cream pitchers.
Now cut the dates and add to the cereal, and then halve the melons and remove the seeds. Put each half on a small plate and place on the table.
As soon as the family have finished their melon, serve the cereal in hot cereal bowls. The bowls should have been filled with hot water before the serving of the melon, or else placed in a warm place to heat. It is not a good thing for dishes to be placed in a hot oven to heat. This dry heat renders the china very brittle and thus causes it to break very easily.
By the time the cereal is eaten the muffins and coffee will be done and ready to serve. Place the muffins on a hot plate and cover with a napkin.
Be sure to put the cereal cooker to soak as soon as the cereal has been served. Also any other utensils used in the preparation of the meal.
