GOOD FOOD.
GREAT HISTORY.
This dish appears in Menu No. 1 of Carrie May Ashton’s “Two New Year’s Dinners.” The introduction addresses young housekeepers seeking a plain and inexpensive repast; the complete menu places the recipe alongside roast goose, vegetables, salad, and steamed pudding. This cabbage dish appears in the first of Carrie May Ashton’s “Two New Year’s Dinners,” in January 1900 Good Housekeeping. The cabbage is layered with the accompanying cream dressing, covered with bread crumbs, and baked. The dressing is retained with the dish because the text explicitly labels it “for the Same.” The historical spelling “Escalloped” is preserved.
Escalloped Cabbage Fill a buttered baking dish with alternate layers of finely cut, crisp cabbage and cream dressing, having the latter on top, well covered with fine dried bread crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven about half an hour.
Cream Dressing for the Same Two heaping tablespoonfuls of flour and four tablespoonfuls of butter rubbed smooth. Pour it into a hot spider or stewpan, and when hot, add very slowly a quart of rich milk, one teaspoonful of salt, and one teaspoonful of pepper. Stir constantly until it thickens and is smooth. Cool before mixing with cabbage.
