The Dixie Cook-Book

“The best is none too good.” Southern family receipts gathered across generations and printed in Atlanta in 1883 — and, in the same volume, everything else a household was expected to know: the laundry, the sick-room, dressmaking, babies, and a year's bill of fare.

Coventry Puff

For these take scraps of puff paste and roll out into a sheet one-fourth of an inch in thickness. Cut the number of pieces you require with a plain round cutter three inches in diameter. Roll these out same as for raspberry puffs; add some fancy preserves, then fold or lap the paste over in three folds, so that when it is folded it will form a triangle. Then turn the folded part down on the baking pans, wash these with water, or egg and water; dust with powdered sugar, and bake. You do not cut these on the top.
