Menus for the Family
BY SISTER MARY
Of course the person who is eating to grow thin will have to give up pies and cakes and all desserts beginning or ending with cream, but she may partake of almost any fruit ice, providing it isn't too sweet, many gelatin desserts, most of the "snows" and the puddings made with fruit and Irish moss or agar-agar in place of cornstarch.
Desserts made with yolk of egg are fattening, while those made with white of egg are not. Some desserts are simple enough of themselves but their sauces contain the damaging flesh-producing calories.
The woman who wants the same dessert to answer for a reducing diet and a normal one as well can sometimes solve her problem in the sauce. Whipped cream served with a plain fruit gelatin makes the dessert pleasing to the family while the lack of the whipped cream makes the dessert possible for the person who would reduce.
SNOW PUDDING
One and one-half tablespoons granulated gelatin, 4 tablespoons cold water, 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup lemon juice, ½ cup granulated sugar, whites 3 eggs.
Soften gelatin in cold water for five minutes. Add boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add sugar and lemon juice. Place in a pan of ice water until mixture is cool and syrupy. Beat with eggbeater until foamy. Add whites of eggs beaten until stiff and dry and continue beating mixture until it will hold its shape. Turn into a mold and chill for several hours. Unmold and serve.
Mousses of fruit frozen canned fruits—always can be served plain to one who is on a reducing diet. All fresh fruits with the exception of grapes and bananas are permissible and fresh fruit combined with the frozen fruit makes a regular "party" dessert for the too plump.
Any gelatin mixture is changed by whipping it with a Dover beater when it begins to thicken. It should be whipped until light and foamy and then thoroughly chilled before serving.
Keep in mind that gelatin desserts that are to be eaten without cream will be more palatable if they are not too firm. They must be very cold, too.
Snow pudding is an excellent example of a dessert that satisfies the whole family. The yolks of the eggs are used for the sauce which is not served to the reducing member.
