TEXAS PECAN PIE

   I had this cookbook at home, too.  This continues discussion "pecan pie,"
which allegedly was first made in Atlanta in 1924.

CORN DOGS

   This won't be the first citation, but it's an early recipe.

"THE BEST IN COOKING" IN LEONARD

1950

Pg. 40:
CORN DOGS    Texanna Latimer
2 1/4 c. flour
2 c. corn meal
2 Tbsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
2 c. sweet milk
   Sift and mix dry ingredients; add egg and milk mixed together.  Let stand
30 minutes or more.  It will thicken for a heavy coating.  This should cover
22 frankfurters.  Dip franks in batter and drop in hot fat (375 deg.).  When
done on one side, they will turn over without using fork.  Serve hot with
mustard.
