Salt (Scald the corn-meal with about)

Scald the corn-meal with about one cup of boiling water, add the other ingredients in the order given. Put in a buttered dish and bake half an hour.

This is a favorite California dish.

Chicken Pie (from Cooked Chicken) Cut the meat from the drumsticks, disjoint and use the wings, the second joints, neck, and any other pieces. The presence of these small bones adds flavor to the pie. Put into a suitable bakingdish, season the chicken well, and pour over it one and one-third cups of thickened gravy, which can be made from the water in which the chicken was cooked. Cover with a pastry crust made of I cup flour cup ice-water ½ cup shortening, part 1 teaspoonful salt chicken and part teaspoonful bakingbeef fat powder Sift the flour, salt, and baking-powder together.

Chop in the fat, moisten with ice-water, and roll out. Put bits of butter over the crust, using a tablespoonful, sprinkle with a little flour, and roll up like a jelly roll. Let stand in the ice-box until ready to use for the pie. When rolling out the crust, make several slits in it that the steam may escape. It is considered an advantage to have a cup in the bottom of the dish to collect the gravy.
