Meatless Cookery

Published as America rationed meat for the war, this is a whole cuisine built without it — nut roasts and cheese soufflés, dasheen and okra soups, vegetable gelatine, and a chapter on what to do with the whites of eggs.

Yorkshire Cake

2 ounces of flour 2 ounces of butter 2 ounces of ground rice 2 ounces of sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder Very little milk Mix the butter and flour well together with the rice and sugar, add the baking powder, and just sufficient milk to moisten; mix well together. Spread on two buttered plates, and bake ten minutes. When done, spread jam over one, place the other on the top, and sprinkle with sugar. A layer cake is made in this way, with about three layers of cake, and jam or jelly in between, and icing sprinkled with halved walnuts on the top.
