Breakfast in the Oven
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare a small cheese-cloth bag and fill it with ground coffee.
Tie the bag securely and place it in a block-tin coffee pot.
Add 2 cups of cold water to the coffee pot.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place sausages on a grill or meat stew in a jar.
Put oatmeal or farina in a double boiler and place it in the oven.
Set the half-inch wick lamp underneath and leave overnight.
In the morning, enjoy a ready breakfast.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
