Cheese Fondu
This was a recipe the Pretty Aunt put in Margaret's book out of the one she
had made at cooking school.
1 cup fresh bread-crumbs.
2 cups grated cheese.
1 cup of milk.
1 bit of soda as large as a pea.
1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
1 pinch of red pepper.
1 teaspoonful of butter.
2 eggs.
Put the butter in a saucepan to heat while you beat the eggs light without
separating them; let these stand while you stir everything else into the
pan, beginning with the milk; cook this five minutes, stirring all the time,
and then put in the eggs and cook three minutes more.
Put six large crackers on a hot platter and pour the whole over them, and
send at once to the table to be eaten very hot.
Sometimes Margaret made three or four slices of toast before she began the
fondu, and used those in place of the crackers, and the dish was just as
nice.
