FOODS FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION, PLUS 3 INGREDIENT RECIPES

Posted on May 12, 2014 by tulsage

There are many economical meals that families ate during the Great Depression using simple ingredients that are probably already in our pantries.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHIPPED BEEF (SOS) ON TOAST    –  FROM THE DEPRESSION ERA (1930s)

Butter, flour, milk and for meat shaved baked ham, ground beef, a pkg of Buddig beef,  or can of tuna.

The recipes are all pretty much the same but if you want…. add some extras such as mushrooms, peas,   chicken base,  Teriyaki or Worcestershire sauce and spices like, nutmeg, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper)

FONDUE FOR CHRISTMAS EVE

      • Creamy Chipped Beef Fondue  often served on Christmas Eve is a hearty appetizer that requires very little work. (Milk, cream cheese, dried beef,green onions, ground mustard and French bread

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GOULASH FROM THE DEPRESSION ERA- American goulash is also called by some ‘American chop suey’ or ‘Slumgullion’.

Goulash is one  that you can make a big pot and stretch to feed a LOT.

The above recipes all contain:

      • ground beef (or Italian sausage can be used, instead )
      • garlic
      • onion
      • tomatoes- such as condensed tomato soup, stewed or diced tomatoes, a rich zesty tomato sauce or paste, jarred pasta or marinara sauce, V8, or tomato juice.
      • elbow macaroni, small shells, bowties or egg noodles
      • Worcestershire sauce
      • Italian seasoning
      • water or beef broth for extra flavor.
      • Cheddar, (Parmesan, or Mozzarella, instead of cheddar.)
      • salt or seasoned salt
      • black pepper

Optional:

      • Vegetables: Green pepper, shredded carrots, green beans, mushroom stems and pieces, celery, red bell peppers for a bit of sweetness in the zesty sauce or frozen mixed vegetables,
      • Spices– chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaves, parsley, red pepper flakes; from dried hot peppers
      • Stretch out the meal with extra pasta, refrigerated mashed potatoes or a can of your favorite kind of drained beans.
      • olive oil

To make the above more like Hungarian goulash, increase the amount of broth and add vegetables such as peas, spinach, and carrots. Add more tender vegetables toward the end so they don’t get mushy.

Hungarian goulash is different. A robust beef and onion soup seasoned with Hungarian paprika it is often made without vegetables. (Other recipes call for potatoes and/or carrots,onions,  green peppers, beef stew meat, salt, pepper, olive oil, beef broth, flour, paprika, tomato paste, caraway seeds, garlic, sugar, egg noodles,and sour cream.)

CANDY  FROM THE DEPRESSION ERA-

Notes for Chocolate chip cookies:

  • Brown  and cool the butter before creaming it with the sugar and eggs.to give the cookies a toasty, nutty flavor.
  • a high-proportion of brown sugar,  produces a chewy center.
  • smoked salt, adds to both the texture and flavor and is also a trend in chocolate drinks and desserts for the last few years.
  • Dark chocolate-cookies use dark or bittersweet chocolate chips.
  • double dark” cookies  have chocolate chips as well as a 100 percent unsweetened, or dark, cacao powder — in other words, cacao powder that has had no sugar added and thus offers an intense hit of chocolate.
  • Nobody likes  them burnt or dry. We do like them buttery and chocolatey.
  • Always wait until your oven is preheated
  • Make sure your cookies bake evenly by rotating the sheet halfway through the baking time.
  • If your cookies are getting too crisp on the edges, it’s likely that the butter in the dough is melting. Briefly refrigerate the dough, about 10 to 15 minutes, before scooping onto trays.
  • Even when you’re in a hurry, wait until your oven is preheated before popping in the cookie sheet. Because of their quick cooking time, cookies need an immediate blast of heat.
  • Burned bottoms can ruin a good cookie. Dark cookie sheets often over-brown the bottoms of cookies. But, line the dark sheet with parchment paper and it won’t absorb as much heat.
  • Can’t tell when your cookies are done? Press lightly with your finger. If it leaves a slight indentation, it’s done.
  •  chocolate chip, white chocolate and pecan cookie melts in your mouth.
  •  an oatmeal cookie   full of dried cranberries drizzled with white chocolate and and pieces of sweet coconut or  oatmeal cookie with white chocolate and wild blueberries.
  • another oatmeal chocolate chip cookie says omit the    1/2 cup chocolate chips and use   1/3  c dried cranberries .
  • PREFER A GIANT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE  ?
    Instead of paying $22.99 at the mall for a 12 inch cookie, here is how to save a lot of money over what the bakeries charge. Giant chocolate chip cookie:

    • grab a 16.5 oz log of  refrigerated cookie dough.
    • press the cookie dough into a throw-away pizza pan and bake til done.  Decorate it  or leave it looking like the giant chocolate chip cookie it is.

CAKES FROM THE DEPRESSION  ERA-

To make

  • Cream Puffs drop by spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet 1½  in apart and shape round with the handle of  a spoon.
  •  Eclairs, put the paste in a pastry bag and force through a round tube ½ in in diameter for small Eclairs, and 1 in. in diameter for large ones, making the 3 ½  to 4 in long.

Bake either Cream Puffs or Eclairs to in a hot oven of 400 F. for 35 min.

 

CREAM PUFFS

Yield: About 15 servings

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or lightly dust with flour), and set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add butter and allow to melt, stirring to mix. Lower heat. Add flour, all at once, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly until dough pulls away cleanly from side of pan and forms a ball; do not overcook or dough will not puff when baked.

3. Remove from heat and add 1 egg; quickly work egg into mixture. Continue adding 1 egg at a time, working in each totally before adding another. If necessary, use a whisk to break up any lumps in the dough.

4. Using a tablespoon or a pastry bag, place small mounds of dough about 11/2 to 2 inches high on prepared baking sheet (make them all the same size so they bake evenly). Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown; do not open oven door during first 20 minutes of baking. Cool on a rack.  Allow the cream puffs or Eclairs to cool thoroughly.

5. Whip cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold in powdered sugar and vanilla. Slice or cut the puffed buns in half, so there is a top and bottom. Spoon or pipe cream mixture into the bottom of each bun and replace the bun tops. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.

To fill:  Cut a slit in the side of each and put filling in with a spoon, or insert the end of a pastry tube and force the filling in. Use sweetened and flavored whipped cream, custard or ice cream to fill the shells.  – fill your cream puffs or tart dough with pastry cream and top with fruit and you have a classic French fruit tart.Frost with a  thin uncooked icing or serve with crushed berries, chocolate or caramel sauce.
Pastry cream   “Everyone should learn to make pastry cream. You just have to stir. This is a recipe that, learn how to do it and the world is yours. So you can fill your cream puffs with the pastry cream.  And pastry cream is the basis for the best, best chocolate pudding.”

 

  • Ganache “It’s not really baked. Essentially it is an emulsion of heavy cream and chocolate. You just have to stir. It’s something as a baker you really want to know how to make. It can be a filling for a cake. Poured into that beautiful tart shell you just baked and it becomes an elegant tart. You can make a thin ganache and use it as a glaze on a cake.   Dip cookies  or tops of cupcakes in ganache. It’s also the basis of chocolate truffles.
  •  GANACHE9 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped and placed in a medium bowl.
    1 c. heavy cream heated in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, (watching carefully because if it boils for just a few seconds it will boil out of the pot.) When it comes to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth.
    Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake.Ganache is typically used as a glaze on top of an already-frosted cake or cupcake, and rightly so because it can be quite rich. However, it can be used as a frosting alternative. This works particularly well on a bundt cake. For this to work as a glaze, you need a cake that will allow for the ganache to really shine. A chocolate cake often works best, but only if it is not a rich cake like devil’s food. However, a white, vanilla or butter cake can work, too. Even though a strawberry cake with chocolate ganache might sound tempting, the chocolate actually does not complement the strawberry here, especially because the strawberry box cakes are often on the fluffy side.Pro tips: If you are wanting this as a glaze, try spreading it around to coat the cake evenly. Start from the inside and work outward. Because it is really sweet, a lot at once can be overpowering. This frosting can also be converted into a whipped frosting. Let the ganache cool until it has thickened and then whip it with a whisk or hand mixer.
  • Creme caramel    No thermometer is needed. Just cook the sugar and watch the color and say, ‘I like that color. That’s enough.’ The cream you mix into it is simple. You just mix it in. It’s a great introduction to caramel.”
