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

   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

done on one side, they will turn over without using fork.  Serve hot with
mustard.
