Mock Chicken Legs (From 1940)

Main Course: Eldora

1 nice round steak
equal or lesser amount pork steak or roast
corn flake crumbs
1 egg
salt
pepper
onion
shortening
wooden skewers

Cut meat into 1 - 1 1/2 inch pieces. Thread on skewers alternately and mold with your hand to skewer. (Here you could refrigerate until needed (covered).) Heat shortening in fry pan. Dip the "chicken legs" in beaten egg combined with salt & pepper then dip in corn flake crumbs. Brown in hot fat, arrange in baking pan, cut some onion on top, a little more salt & pepper. Cofer with aluminum foil. Bake 350 degrees about 1 hour. Remove foil near end to make them crisp. (You'll want to taste to be sure seasoned just right.) Delicious hot or cold.

Eldora's notes:
Dudley said this was one of the reasons he married me! This and Helen's chow mein & my popcorn popper and radio phonograph!!

About this Blog

This is a collection of family recipes that I want to pass on to Anna (and Owen, Jacob, Raisa, & Sam) some day. I also plan to make a book of some type when we have collected enough recipes.

Recipes from Eldora are typed as they were written on the cards she gave me, any notes associated with the recipes are hers.
