THE MAMA'S COOK BOOK - Ethel Boone Lewis, by Mary Frances Pilcher


Recipe Introduction


The MAMA'S COOK BOOK was prepared by the Pre-School Group of the Louisville (Georgia) Parent Teacher Association many years ago when most women knew the ins and outs of cooking. Therefore part of the directions are sometimes left out.



List of Ingredients




2 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/8 cup cold water
whites of three large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. lemon juice
9 marshmallows
pinch salt

Recipe



From the sugar reserve 3 tbsp. Put sugar and water to boil until a long thread is given when tested. Beat egg whites stiff, add pinch of salt, add reserve sugar. Beat eggs while sugar is boiling. When ready pour over whites slowly. (Marshmallows have been added just before taking from stove.) Continue beating until thick, add vanilla and lemon juice. Spread real thick between layers, tops and sides when cool.
