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.

Raspberry Puff

Proceed precisely the same as for open tarts. When you have cut the desired number, roll them out thin, about six inches in diameter, Now place a teaspoonful of raspberry preserves on it, a little from the center, spread it a little, and then bring the back part over on the preserve, keeping it back a little from the front edge, for if it laps over the bottom edge is prevented from rising. It is best to allow the top edge to lie back from the the front edge at least one-fourth of an inch. This folding forms a half circle. This being done, wash them with water, or egg and water, and dust them with powdered sugar. Also cut a few deep but shorą cuts across the top-over where the preserve lays-when baked, the preserve shows through.
