Shredded Wheat Biscuits
Filled
With Strawberries
Eggs In Nests Hot Coffee Cake
With a sharp knife make a hollow in the center of a crisp shredded wheat biscuit, fill with fresh strawberries and serve with sugar and cream.
Separate the yolks and whites of 4 eggs, one at a time, taking care not to break the yolks. Beat each white stiff, adding 1/4 t salt, place in a shallow ramikin or custard cup, and in the center of each place the yolk of the egg. Set in a pan of water and bake slowly until set. Serve at once.
Reheat the coffee cake made the previous day by placing in the oven for a few minutes. Then serve at once.
The first thing in the morning look over and wash the strawberries for breakfast, then prepare the eggs in nests. Place in the oven with the coffee cake, then make the coffee. While these are cooking, prepare the shredded wheat biscuits and place on the table. Serve the cereal, then the coffee cake, eggs and coffee.
Immediately after breakfast, wash and hull the berries for the ice cream and set away with the sugar for 2 h. Then finish making the ice cream, repack in salt and ice, and set away to "ripen."
