If popovers are left from breakfast, make an opening in each just large enough to fill the center. For six popovers take 1/2 cup cream, 2 tablespoonfuls sugar and 1/2 teaspoonful vanilla and 1 teaspoonful Knox Sparkling gelatine softened in 1/4 cup milk 10 minutes and dissolved over hot water. When mixture is cool, fill popovers.

PUFF PASTE FOR PATTIES

PUFF PASTE FOR PATTIES image

One pound flour, 1 lb. butter washed and placed on ice in little pats. When hard take 1/4 of the butter and rub thoroughly with the flour, add scant tablespoon of sugar, and if butter is not too salt, 1 teaspoon salt. Mix with one cup of ice water, and set on ice for 1 hour. Then add the rest of the butter (rolled out in thin sheets) by degrees, rolling and folding over 5 or 6 times. Now set dough on ice for several hours (in winter a snow bank does admirably).

After dough has been thoroughly frozen, roll out about 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut out double as many pieces as you wish patties. Use 1/2 for bottom of shells. Cut the centers from the other 1/2 with smaller cutter, and bake on separate plate for covers. Take the rings from which centers have been cut and place on bottom pieces, wetting the edges of bottom so they will adhere in baking. In the center of your patty shell place pieces of bread, 1/2 inch in thickness, cut with the smaller cutter. This prevents the center of shell from rising. Bake in very hot oven.

When done remove the pieces of bread and with a teaspoon scrape out the unbaked dough from center. These will keep several days. When wished for serving, heat in oven, fill with your chicken or oyster filling, place cover on and eat quickly.
