Request for Chicken Fried Steak
with White Gravy With Breakfast Sausage in it.
In this recipe I found online I
would just add some breakfast sausage or use the recipe for SAUSAGE GRAVY
given below.
COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY 10-4-03
3 pounds sirloin tip roast
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 cups unbleached flour
2 tablespoons pepper
vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 tablespoons unbleached flour
1 cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
parsley, for garnish
Cut the meat into 1/2-inch thick slices. Pound the meat with a meat mallet to tenderize. Cut each slice crosswise into 3 pieces. Place in a large bowl. Cover with water and add the salt and vinegar. Marinate for 2 hours. Combine the flour and pepper in a plastic bag and add the meat, (do not pat dry) 1 piece at a time, shaking to coat thoroughly. Heat the oil in the deep fryer or deep large skillet, over medium heat, to 350 degrees. Add the meat in batches (do not crowd) and fry until light brown, about 30 seconds per side. Drain the meat on paper towels and place it on a heated platter that has been tented with foil.
For the gravy, pour off all but
2 tablespoons of the oil in the skillet, leaving the browned bits. Heat
over medium heat and add the flour, stirring and scraping up all of the
browned bits for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in
the milk. Stir in the salt and continue to whisk until thickened, about
1 minute. Serve over the steaks and garnish with parsley just before serving.
Serves 8.

is lacking that is glue-like.

¼ teaspoon Tabasco
oil for deep-fat frying - heat
to 375 degrees
2 medium mixing bowls
Cut onions into ¼" slices, separate into rings. Place in medium bowl, set to the side.
In the other mixing bowl, sift together
dry ingredients.
** Note: the dry mixture will smell
like you will want the fire department on standby - but the onion rings
really will not taste that spicy. Once dry ingredients are mixed, add the
2 eggs, tabasco, and beer. use mixer to beat into smooth batter. for thicker
batter, use less beer.
Dip onion rings into batter, then
drop into oil a few at a time and cook for 1 to 1½ minutes or until
golden brown. Makes 8 servings.
Alternate way to make:
If you want a "light", batterless mix, do not mix in the beer or Tabasco.
Combine eggs in a small bowl and set to the side. combine all dry ingredients in the 2nd mixing bowl as before. dip onion rings in egg mixture, then drop into dry mixture and cover. Then drop onion rings into hot oil and complete as above.

COOKED HOMEMADE ICE CREAM (june1963pg2) 10-18-03
Beat 4 eggs till thick. Add 2 cups sugar, 1½ -2 tablespoons cornstarch and a dash of salt.
Add this mixture to 1½ quarts of milk, bring to a boil and cook till thick.
Pour the cooked pudding into freezer and add more milk (suggest 2 cups of cream plus milk) to about 3 inches from the top of the freezer. Add about 8 tbsps. of vanilla and freeze. (The large amount of vanilla is really the secret to making the ice cream something to rave about.)
This is also good as chocolate ice
cream. Add 4 tablespoons cocoa to the sugar and mix it well before adding
to the beaten eggs. It still requires the 8 tablespoons of vanilla.

Iowa)
