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.

  1. Prepare a small cheese-cloth bag and fill it with ground coffee.

  2. Tie the bag securely and place it in a block-tin coffee pot.

  3. Add 2 cups of cold water to the coffee pot.

  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Place sausages on a grill or meat stew in a jar.

  6. Put oatmeal or farina in a double boiler and place it in the oven.

  7. Set the half-inch wick lamp underneath and leave overnight.

  8. In the morning, enjoy a ready breakfast.
