Spanish Fritter Puff Recipe

This old-fashioned dessert recipe from Spain is taken from "Dr. Chase’s Third, Last and Complete Receipt Book," Memorial Edition, by Dr. Alvin Wood Chase, M.D., published by F. B. Dickerson Company, Detroit and Windsor, in 1891.

The Spanish fritter recipe is easy to make, and the fritters are light and delicious.

Powdered sugar, 1 tablespoonful; butter, 2 ounces (2 tablespoonfuls); salt, 1 teaspoonful; water, 1 cup; yolks of 4 eggs; flour. Directions: Put the water into a saucepan, add the sugar, salt, and butter, and, while it is boiling, stir in flour enough to have it leave the pan, then stir in, one-by-one, the yolks of the eggs; now drop a teaspoonful at a time into boiling lard and fry to a light brown. If nicely done they will be very puffy.

Spanish Bun Recipe

This authentic dessert recipe from Spain is taken from the "Second Edition of The Neighborhood Cookbook," published by the Council of Jewish Women, Portland, in 1914.

The bun or cake may be made without frosting, if you prefer. It is nice when made either way.

One cup butter, two cups brown sugar, yolks of four eggs, whites of two (other whites to be used for frosting), one cup sour milk, one teaspoon each vanilla, cloves, and cinnamon, one-half teaspoon nutmeg, two cups flour, one teaspoon baking powder. Frost and bake as instructed below. Sprinkle one cup of chopped nuts on top of cake. Cake to be baked in long pan.

Frosting: One cup brown sugar, two whites of eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. Put on cake before baking. Bake in slow oven.

Spanish Chocolate Cake Recipe

This original Spanish cake recipe is taken from "The Perry Home Cook Book" by the ladies of Perry, Kansas, and Vicinity; published by The Independent Publishing Company, Oskaloosa, Kansas, in 1920.

1 cup sugar; one-third cup butter; ½ cup boiling water; 1 cup sour milk; yolks of 2 eggs or 1 whole egg beaten to cream; 1 teaspoon soda; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 2 cups flour; chocolate for flavoring. —Mrs. Bernard Montague
