Something New from an Old Cookbook

[Subdeacon Joe]

From the Good Housekeeping Cookbook, 1944.

 

Lemon Cream Dressing

 

3 TBS Lemon Juice

3 TBS Granulated Sugar

1 Egg, well-beaten

1 cup light or heavy cream, whipped.

 

Combine Lemon Juice, Sugar, and Egg in a double boiler and cook until thick over hot, but not boiling, water. Chill, then fold in the whipped cream. Serve on fruit salad.

 

I doubled the lemon, sugar, and egg, but only increased the cream to 1 1/2 cups before whipping.

 

It still had a rather delicate lemon flavor. To heck with the fruit salad, we had it on waffles this morning. I think if we cut back on the sugar a touch and added a pinch of salt it would be fantastic on fish or chicken breast. Something to play with anyway.
