Homemaking— Here Are Suggestions for Tasty, Yet Easy fo Make, Appetizers

SEE Sv

WHETHER YOU CALL THEM HORS D'OEUVRES, canapes, or just plain appetizers, the little tid-bits of food that go hand in hand with cocktails, or are passed as the first course at dinner are the promise

of more good things to come.

They are exactly what{ their name im-

plies, a whetter of appetites and as such should have a few specific

qualifications. suggests: 1—Season them highly and well. . 2—Make them tiny, not more than one to two bites to each appetizer. : 3—Make them easy to eat by serving them on toothpicks, or on tiny toast bases or otherwise easy to pick up in the hand. 4—Make lots, because no guest was ever known to. limit himself to less than five or six of these toothsome bites.

Hot Appetizers

Hot appetizers are easy to fix, and delicious to eat, but they must be served piping hot to be delicious. Dust off the familiar old chafing dish, or buy yourself one of .the new electric ones and use it for keeping the little fried sausages or broiled Treet squares hot. Have _ toothpicks handy so everyone can spear his own and use small plates to hold the appetizers. BACON OLIVES — Wrap large stuffed olives with 12 strip of bacon and fasten with a toothpick by

running it through the ends of the |

bacon and clear through the olive. Cook in the frying pan or under the broiler until the bacon is crisp. Serve hot on toothpicks. ° TAMALE APPETIZERS—Tamales make delicious hot appetizers. Cut them in one-inch lengths, wrap -with a small strip of bacon, skewer with a toothpick and broi' until bacon is crisp. Serve on toothpicks. - BACON PINEAPPLE APPETIZERS—Wrap each pineapple gem with 12 slice of bacon and fasten with a toothpick. Broil about three or four minutes, turning once. LITTLE LOGS—Wrap cocktail frankfurters in thin slices of bread. Fasten with a toothpick. Spread the outside of the bread with mustard butter (two parts of butter creamed with 112 parts prepared mustard). Place under broiler until brown and tasty. " TREET BITS—Cut slices of Treet 3% to one inch thick. Cut each slice in eight squares. Spread these with a thick coat of mustard ‘butter (1%; parts mustard to two parts of butter, creamed together). ‘Place under the broiler until golden brown and serve while hot. Another delicious way to serve appetizers is to make miniature biscuits no mere than an inch across and serve them piping hot _ with assorted spreads. Everyone breaks and spreads their own biscuits. These are easy to use for a big party because you can make

salt and baking powder. Add lard and blend as for a pie crust. Add milk to make a soft dough and pat out on a floured board to % inch thickness. Cut with a tiny cutter about one inch in diameter and bake 10 minutes in a hot oven, 425 degrees F. Cold Appetizers

STUFFED PICKLE SLICES— With an apple corer, remove. center from full length of sweet pickles. Cut cores of Treet with the same implement and fill the pickles with the Treet core. Slice in 2 inch slices. Scraps of pickle and Treet may be chopped and used as a spread for other appetizers. CHILI FINGERS—Chop canned corned beer in small pieces. ' Mix with enough chili sauce to moisten. Place this filling in the center of fried toast fingers and pipe an edging of cream cheese around the outside. This may be served cold or placed under the broiler a few seconds, DRIED BEEF ROLLS — Select large even slices of dried beef, cut

wafer thin. Spread with soft cheese

spread made of cream cheese or American cheese softened with mayonnaise dressing and mixed with chopped nuts or ripe olives. Roll the dried beef lightly and let the rolls chill. Cut in 2 lengths and place with cut end up on tiny 11-inch squares of buttered toast. Press a sprig of parsley into the top of each meat roll. Serve with assorted appetizers. : CHEESE CARROTS—Mix 1 cup of American grated cheese and % cup ¢ )ly grated raw carrot thoroughly. Form into tiny carrot shapes. Place a piece of parsley in the top of each carrot and serve as garnish or appetizer. BLACK AND WHITES—On tiny fingers of fresh bread spread cream cheese. In each of the corners make a small rosette using a pastry tube. In the center place three narrow slices of ripe olive in parallel shape, or any design you desire, Chinese characters are attractive. STUFFED CELERY—Cut celery into three-inch lengths and fill cavities with Roquefort spread. Use pastry tube to fill. POTATO CRISPS—Mix deviled ham spread or other meat spreads

with finely chopped celery and

olives. Shape into tiny balls about the size of a small marble. Select

and cut quantities of biscuits ahead of time, keep them chilled and just bake them as needed. Take 2 cups of flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, ¥ teaspoon salt, % cup of lard ‘and 23 cup of milk. Sift the flour,
