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.

Sweet Potato Pudding

Wash and simmer gently half a pound sweet potatoes; when half done take out, peel, and when cold grate them. Stir to a cream a scant cup butter and six table-spoons sugar (white), add a grated nutmeg, a tea-spoon beaten mace, juice and grated peel of a lemon, a wine-glass wine, one of brandy. Stir these ingredients together. Beat four eggs and add to mixture, alternating with the potato, a little at a time. At the last, stir all, very hard, pour in a buttered dish and bake three quarters of an hour. To be eaten cold.-From Tenn.
