beat till creamy., icing recipes, these old-fashioned , homemade icing recipes are taken from the white house cook book by hugo ziemann, steward of the white house, and mrs. f. litre. gillette, a celebrated 19th-century cookbook author, published by the saalfield publishing company, new york, in 1913., cake frosting tips, in the first place , the eggs should be cold, and the platter on which they are to be beaten also cold. allow, for the white of 1 egg, 1 small teacupful of powdered sugar. break the eggs and throw a small handful of the sugar on them as soon as you begin beating; keep adding it at intervals until it is all used up. the eggs must not be beaten until the sugar has been added in this way, which gives a smooth, tender frosting, and 1 that will dry much sooner than the old way., spread with a broad knife evenly over the cake, and if it seems too thin, beat in a little more sugar. cover the cake with two coats, the second after the first has become dry, or nearly so. if the icing gets too dry or stiff before the last coat is needed, it can be thinned sufficiently with a little water, enough to make it work smoothly., a little lemon juice , or half a teaspoonful of tartaric acid, added to the frosting while being beaten, makes it white and more frothy., flavors mostly used are lemon , vanilla, almond, rose, chocolate, and orange., if you wish to ornament with figures or flowers, make up rather more icing, keep about 1-third out until that on the cake is dried; then, with a clean glass syringe, apply it in such forms as you desire and dry as before; what you keep out to ornament with may be tinted pink with cochineal , blue with indigo, yellow with saffron or the grated rind off an orange strained through a cloth, green with spinach juice and brown with chocolate, purple with cochineal and indigo. strawberry, or currant and cranberry juices color a delicate pink., cake in a cool oven with the door open to dry, or in a draught in an open window., almond frosting (marzipan icing recipe), whites of three eggs, beaten up with three cups of fine, white sugar. blanch a lb of sweet almonds, lb them in a mortar with a little sugar, until a fine paste, then add the whites of eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. lb a few minutes to thoroughly mix. cover the cake with a very thick coating of this, set in a cool oven to dry, afterwards cover with a plain icing., chocolate frosting, whites of four eggs , three cups of powdered sugar and nearly a cup of grated chocolate. beat the whites a very little, they must not become white, stir in the chocolate, then put in the sugar gradually, beating to mix it well., plain chocolate icing, put into a shallow pan four tablespoonfuls of scraped chocolate , and place it where it will melt gradually, but not scorch; when melted, stir in three tablespoonfuls of milk or cream and 1 of water; mix all well together, and add 1 scant teacupful of sugar; boil about five minutes, and while hot, and when the cakes are nearly cold, spread some evenly over the surface of 1 of the cakes; put a second 1 on top, alternating the mixture and cakes; then cover top and sides, and set in a warm oven to harden., all who have tried recipe after recipe , vainly hoping to find 1 where the chocolate sticks to the cake and not to the fingers, will appreciate the above. in making those most palatable of cakes, chocolate eclairs, the recipe just given will be found very satisfactory., tutti frutti icing, mix with boiled icing 1 oz each of chopped citron , candied cherries, seedless raisins, candied pineapple, and blanched almonds., sugar icing, extra-refined sugar add 1 oz of fine white starch ; lb finely together and then sift them through gauze; then beat the whites of three eggs to a froth. the secret of success is to beat the eggs long enough, and always 1 way; add the powdered sugar by degrees, or it will spoil the froth of the eggs. when all the sugar is stirred in continue the whipping for half an hour longer, adding more sugar if the ice is too thin., take a little of the icing and lay it aside for ornamenting afterward. when the cake comes out of the oven, spread the sugar icing smoothly over it with a knife and dry it at once in a cool oven., ornament the cake with it, make a cone of stiff writing paper and squeeze the colored icing through it, so as to form leaves, beading or letters, as the case may be. it requires nicety and care to do it with success.

chimicheese cake, flour tortilla shells , 6 1/2 diameter, cream cheese, at room temperature, sugar, flour, eggs, beaten, vanilla, cooked apples, very well drained, almond toffee bits, cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup sugar and 3 tbsp. ground cinnamon, mixed well), vanilla ice cream, caramel topping, beat cream cheese until fluffy ; add sugar and eggs, beat again. add vanilla and mix well. fold toffee bits and apple pieces in cheese mixture. on tortilla shell place a serving in the middle, about 2 1/2 inches from the side of shell. tuck sides in slightly and roll shell to seal the filling and hold in the cream cheese. when shells have been stuffed and rolled, place in refrigerator; chill to set filling. in deep fryer heat vegetable oil. when ready, place chimicheesecake and fry until slightly golden while carefully turning on each side. remove from oil and drain. heat oven to 350f and place chimicheesecake on cookie sheet and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. remove from oven and liberally sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. serve cheesecakes slightly warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel topping.

use these general directions as a guide when making fruit curds. recipes vary , so for best results, follow each 1 carefully., in the top pan of a double boiler or in a nonreactive saucepan, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well blended., whisk in the fruit juice until smooth and blended. (at first the mixture may look curdled, but it will become smooth as it is whisked.), top pan over but not touching simmering water in the bottom pan , or set the saucepan over medium-low heat. (if using a saucepan, take care not to heat the mixture too quickly.) cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula or spoon, until the mixture is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes., begin adding softened butter 1 to 2 tbsp. at a time, stirring each addition until blended before adding more., continue cooking , stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, until a finger drawn across the back of the spatula leaves a path, 8 to 10 minutes more. immediately remove the pan from the heat., pass the curd through a chinois or other fine-mesh sieve set over a nonreactive bowl and let cool to room temperature.
