Yeah, I probably got it wrong in my original post. It's wafting back that she made the dough, used her rolling pin, used a cutout and put it in the fridge on sheets. That's what I seem to recall. Then she probably baked them. I wish my memory were better about this. Just been too many years. Probably about 13-14. Darn.
If I'm reading that recipe correctly it calls for using a raw egg, left uncooked?
The egg is added to a hot butter and chocolate mixture. It takes very little heat to kill salmonella.
If you would like to try that recipe at home, you can buy raw pasteurized eggs. Enough heat to pasteurize without cooking the eggs at all, so adding to melted chocolate and butter, should do the trick.
And incidentally, there is no way for salmonella to get inside an egg, so the salmonella would have to be on the shell. Use some care when cracking and use clean eggs.
Yeah, we used to do raw eggs in eggnog too, back before salmonella became an issue, but it seems the queen was STILL using this recipe, so I found it odd. Do they not have the same salmonella scare overseas, or maybe the queen figured she was old enough and tough enough not to be concerned? This curious mind wants to know.
perhaps they used pasturized eggs.
or maybe it's because they have different egg processing techniques in Europe.
Eggs have a natural coating that keeps out bacteria. That coating dissolves when eggs are washed, and they must be refrigerated to prevent the growth of bacteria.
In Europe they don't wash or refrigerate eggs.
Here in the US, eggs are washed in huge batches. What's on one egg gets on them all, then gets through the shells.
Save money by coddling your own. Bring water to a boil. Remove from stove and gently lower egg into water. Set timer for one minute. Then cool quickly with cold water.
My Christmas cookie plate inspired by Norwegian heritage, was snow white. To add a little color I used to make two no-bake cookie which I never cared for but the kids would go right for them. Unfortunately both of these are labor intensive.
Thanks Nerys52SoSilver. The cookies I'm referring to are flat, caramel colored, rectangle shaped. Very uninteresting and plain. There is nothing fancy about them. It's an "old tyme" recipe from 100 years ago.
I talked to my father and my brother recently about the cookie recipe. My dad wasn't with my mother for the past 50 years so he doesn't remember them. My brother remembers them, and they are going to look through my mother's things to see if they have her recipes. Other than that, I'm out of luck unless something else reveals itself.
The only no bakes I can think of include cocoa powder, peanut butter, milk, oatmeal and butter.
Yes! I used to eat those at a friend’s house when I was teenager. So good!
Unfortunately, I never got the recipe.
