“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |

* 4-5 medium Macintosh apples, peeled and thinly sliced Work butter
into flour with a fork and add sugar, sour cream, and lemon rind,
kneading to form a dough. Form into a roll, wrap in waxed paper, and
let rest for 1/2 hour.
Cut roll in half. Roll out 1 part to fit a 9"x9" pan. Line with apple
slices and sprinkle with raisins and sugar. Roll out remaining dough
and cut into strips to form a lattice pattern on top of the apples.
Brush with egg yolk, to which a little cold water has been added.
Bake at 325 deg F. for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Dust
with confectioners' sugar while still warm, if desired, and cut into
1" x 2" strips. Makes about 30. Serve warm or cold.
Serves: 30
