(fn Heguctl Old Files Yield Recipes for Flank, Steak and Crisp Sweet Bread By MAXINF. BL'RF.N SUtrsman Woman's Editor By mall, from Monro, Washington, we received an SOS asking for two recipei we knew of old. - The first wai in. an old cookbook published by the Seattle Tost Intelligencer when I wai on the staff, and called A Kitchen Scrap Book. I didn't remember this ai a particularly good recipe but it must be, for the woman making the request cornea from family of juit about the best cooks I know. The recipe, was given us by the chef of i popular, though not stylish, , Spanish restaurant. SPANISH FLANK STEAK , 1 tablespoon parsley 1 bayleaf J teaspoon sugar Dash of allspice Salt and pepper 1 heaping teaspoon chili powder 1H cups broth or water 2 pound flank steak Flour Olive oil 1 can tomatoes 1 onion, chopped fine 1 green pepper, cut 1 clove garlic Can mushrooms (2 oc.) cup chopped celery Pound flour and some salt -Into the steaks, that have been cut Into servlngsiied portions. Fry fast in olive oil. Vt minute on each side, add small can heated tomatoes, onion, green pepper, garlic, celery and parsley. Add bayletf. sugar, allspice, alt and pepper and chili powder and liquid. Simmer 14 hours nd just before serving, add mushrooms and juice. Serve with rice made by putting 1 cup of the rice Into a trainer and dipping into boiling water for S minutes. Finish cooking in double boiler with 14 cups salted water. Her other request was for Biscotti, which I have made every Christmas season for t good many years. This Is flavorful cake-like bread with lots of almonds, baked and cooled, then-sliced and toasted. It is hard, and at 1U best when dunked. . Though it's listed among my Christmas recipes, it is good at any time of year. This, incidentally, ii to be found in the . cookbook put out by The Statesman two or so years ago. BISCOTTI 4 cups flour 1 to 2 cups almonds, 4 teaspoons baking powder 4 eggs teaspoon salt 14 ,cups milk 1 tablespoon anise seed 2 cups sugar Sift dry Ingredients into a bpwl, stir in almonds which are coarsely chopped, pour milk In center, drop in eggs unbeaten, stir from center out until thoroughly mied. Line a 10x12 pan " with olled parchment paper and turn dough into it. Place in 300 degree oven, set for 375 degrees and bake 45 minutes. Invert pan on a tray and tear off paper, cool thoroughly, then lice Into pieces the size of iweibach. Place pieces on a tray,.' place in cold oven set for 275, turning top and bottom elements on low, and remove when thoroughly dried and lightly browned. Just by way of a bonus, we'll publish another recipe from the old scrapbook, and though we do not remember it particu larly, the Pine Tree Tearoom was a. place we often ate with great pleasure. This recipe is from the chef: CRAB CREOLE IN THE SHELL 2 cups crab meat, broken 1 egg yolk I tablespoon cream .
