Following are the recipes for Bos
ton baked beans and for egg noodles
asked for by a "Newcomer From
Iowa":
Boston baked beans One quart
small pea beans, one pound fat salt
pork, one teaspoon soda, one table
spoon gait, one cup New Orleans mo
lasses, one - half teaspoon mustard,
one small onion, boiling water as
needed.
Tick, over and wash the beansover
with cold water and soak over night.
Drain, cover with fresh water, ad the
soda and parboil and then drain again.
Pour boiling water over the pork,
scrape the rind and score it. Cut off
one thin slice of pork and place this
with the onion at the bottom of the
earthen bean pot. Put in the beans
and push the rest of the pork in with
the beans, leaving just the scored rind
exposed. Mix the molasses, salt and
mustard with one cup hot water and
pour into the bean pot. Cover and
bake In a slow oven eight to ten hours,
adding a little hot water as needed.
During the last hour of cooking un
cover the pot so that -the rind of the
pork will brown, but do not have
heat enough to scorch or harden the
top beans. Serve with Boston brown
bread.
For baked beans in tomato sauce
omit the molasses and water, and
add one can tomatoes, with salt,
brown sugar and mustard to taste.
The bean pot may be rubbed thor
oughly with a cut clove of garlic, if
desired, and a few grains of cayenne,
or little Spanish pepper may be used.
If the tomatoes lack color add a lit
tle paprica.
Egg noodles For each egg allow
one-fourth teaspoon salt and two
thirds to one cup flour, according to
the kind used. Beat the egg slight
ly, add the salt and flour to make a
stiff dough. Knead very thoroughly
and let stand one-half hour. Roll
out very thin and set aside to dry a
little. It must not dry out enough
to be In the least brittle, but it must
not be the least bit sticky.
Roll up ino a tight roll (or cut Into
three-inch strips and place one above
another) then cut cross - wise Into
very fine strips or threads. Toss
lightly with the fingers to separate
and leave to dry out a little. Drop
into boiling soup five to ten minutes
before serving.
If not wanted for immediate use
allow to dry thoroughly and store in
covered jars. Use in soup or as a
"meat accompaniment" (in place of
potatoes) or cook in milk for sweet
puddings or noodle custard.
