Vintage Appetizer Recipes


Skimming through a 1938 Better Homes & Gardens Magazine, I found some fun recipes for parties and snacks. These might be a bit late for the holidays, but there is always the Superbowl!

Cheese Puffs

Blend one 8-ounce package pimento cheese with 1 well beaten egg; Season to taste. Toast fancy shaped pieces of bread on one side. Spread other side with bread and cheese mix. Broil until brown and puffed. Makes 35.

Pastry Snails

sift 3/4 cup flower with 1/8 teaspoon salt; Cut in 1/4 shortening; add 2 tablespoons cold water to make stiff dough. Roll very thin in oblong shape. Spread with 3-1/4 oz can deviled ham and roll like jelly roll. Chill thoroughly. Slice thin; bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 15 minutes. Serve hot or cold. Makes 36.
