Better Home And Garden New Cook Book

I have lost the page with my favourite recipe in it. It is in an older edition of the red checkered Better Homes and Gardens cook book. The recipe is called either Fluffy White Frosting or Fluffy White Icing. Does anyone have it?

Fluffy white frosting:

Combine 1 cup granulated sugar , 1/3 cup water , 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar , and a dash of salt in saucepan. Bring to a boiling stirring till sugar dissolves. Very slowly add sugar syrup to 2 unbeaten egg whites in mixing bowl , beating constantly with electric mixer till stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Frosts tops and sides of 2 8-or9- inch pans. /or one tube cake.

Not sure of the year of the cookbook, but the recipe is not in any current Better Homes and Garden Cookbook or any I have found at the library. I believe the egg foo yung recipe was listed exactly as that. It contained cabbage, bean sprouts, celery, and green pepper. It included a sauce recipe. This is my huband's favorite recipe, and I have lost it. My cookbook fell apart and I operated from the loose page, knowing I should have attached it to something. Procrastination is an awful thing. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday and he always requests this recipe. I know I may be too late here and will have to punt tomorrow, but I would still like the original recipe, if possible. Thank you.

INGREDIENTS:

* Sauce:
* 1 cup homemade or storebought Chinese chicken broth
* 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 4 tablespoons water
* Egg Fu Yung:
* 3/4 pound fresh shelled, deveined shrimp
* 1/2 cup mung bean sprouts
* 1 medium white or yellow onion
* 1 red bell pepper
* fresh mushrooms, to make 1/2 cup
* 2 green onions
* Oil for stir-frying and deep-frying
* 6 large eggs
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

PREPARATION:
To prepare the egg fu yung sauce, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the seasonings, and thicken with the cornstarch and water mixture. Keep warm on low heat while making the egg fu yung.

Rinse the shrimp under warm running water.

Pat dry and finely chop.
Rinse the mung bean sprouts and drain thoroughly. Peel and dice the onion. Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into bite-sized chunks. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and thinly slice. Wash and finely chop the green onions.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp. Stir-fry until they turn pink and are cooked. Remove from the pan.

In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper. Stir in the rice wine or sherry, cooked shrimp and the vegetables.

In the wok, heat 2 1/2 inches oil for deep-frying to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. When the oil is hot, gently ladle 1/4 of the egg mixture into the wok. Deep-fry on one side until browned (about 2 minutes), then ladle a bit of oil over the top so that it firms up. Use a spatula (or 2 spatulas if necessary) to gently turn the omelet over and brown the other side. Remove the omelet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve with the egg fu yung sauce poured over top.

I think this cook book was published in 1977. I am looking for the Chicken Enchiladas recipe from this book. It's my sons favorite. His Grandmother use to make it and I've seem to have missplaced the photo copied page she had made for me of this recipe. I know I can buy the cook book on ebay but I'm trying to make this dish on Thursday for family members that are coming in from out of town. I appreciate anyone that can help me with this.

Yes, I have that book. Here is the recipe.

Enchiladas de Polo

1 16 oz can tomatoes
1 4 oz can green chili peppers rinsed and seeded
1/2 tsp coriander seed
1/2 tsp salt
1 c sour cream
2 c finely chopped cooked chicken
1 3 oz package of cream cheese
1/4 c shopped onion
3/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp cooking oil
12 6" tortillas
1 c shredded Monterey jack cheese

Combine first four ingredients in blender, blend, then add sour cream, blend and set aside.

Combine chicken, cream cheese, onion and 3/4 tsp salt. In skillet heat cooking oil. Dip tortillas, one at a time into oil for 10 seconds or till limp. Drain in paper towel. Spoon chicken mixture on tortillas, roll, then place seam side down in baking dish. Pour tomato mixture over top. Cover and bake 350 for 30 mins. Remove foil, sprinkle cheese, then return to over until it's melted.

Enjoy!

I had one I bought new in the 80s. I loved it, used it to death until the pages fell out in clumps. Excellent book still looking for a new copy.
