Parsnips and Pop Corn
Wash, scrape and slice thin two good-sized parsnips and cook them until perfectly
tender in two quarts of water. When they are nearly done add a teaspoonful of salt and when althogether done a
tablespoonful of flour mixed smooth with a little cold water. Stir well and let boil until the flour is cooked,
then stir in half a cupful of popped and ground corn--Nelson's pop corn is the best that grows--let boil up once
or twice, or until the corn is hot and serve.Source: Mary Hamilton Talbott. Pop Corn recipes. Grinnell, Iowa: Sam Nelson, Jr., Company, 1916, n.p. |
