Creole Mystery





Tucked in the back of my copy of The Household Searchlight Recipe Book, 1936, is a little slip of paper with the following list of ingredients, no name, no instructions. Chocolate cake? That's a lot of eggs, chocolate souffle?


2 cups sugar

1 cup butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 cup sour milk
4 oz. chocolate


It's followed by a recipe for Creole sandwiches.
Cream 4 T butter
Add 1/2 t minced onion
1/2 c finely flaked shrimp
t lemon juice
1/2 t prepared mustard
2 T chopped olives
salt as needed
