Hello Hal,

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 drops Tabasco Sauce
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet pickle
1-1/4 cups mayonnaise
Combine ketchup, chili sauce, A-1 Sauce, Worcestershire sauce
and Tabasco Sauce. Add pickle to sauce mixture. Combine the
sauce-pickle mixture with mayonnaise, stirring until well-blended.
Store in a tightly covered container under refrigeration until time
of use.

1 tablespoon of softened margarine
2 hamburger patties, each two ounces
Salt to taste
White pepper to taste

Hello J,
Please give your first name when making a request.
That particular recipe is just as I found it, I have no idea what
the amounts are. Below, however, is another one.
Phaed
Jaffa Cakes recipe

2 eggs
50 g (2 oz) sugar
65 g (2 1/2 oz) self-raising flour, sieved
approx. 60 ml (4 tbsp) marmalade, sieved
100 g (4 oz) plain chocolate
rind of 1/4 orange, finely grated
10 ml (2 tsp) corn oil
15 ml (1 tbsp) water

1. Whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and creamy; when the whisk
is lifted the mixture leaves a trail.
2. If using a hand whisk put the bowl over a pan of hot water, then
fold in the flour.
3. Spoon the mixture into 18 well-greased, round-bottomed patty tins.
4. Bake for about 10 minutes at 200°C (400°F) Gas 6 until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
5. Spread a little marmalade over each cake.
6. Put the chocolate, orange rind, oil and water into a bowl over a pan
of hot water.
7. Stir well until melted. Cool until the chocolate starts to thicken
and then spoon over the marmalade. Leave to set.

Hello Stacey,
See below.
Phaed
Buns That Boys Like - 1920
To about as much light bread dough as for a loaf of bread, at the
stage where it is light and ready for the pans, add 1/2 cup of lard
or butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 egg, 3/4 pint of warm water. Mix
all to a smooth paste; thicken with flour; let rise; form into small
biscuits; let rise and bake. This brings them just right for the
evening meal; if wanted for midday dinner, use 1 quart of sponge in
place of the dough.
The above recipe is over 100 years old. It originally appeared in
"Mrs. Kirk's Card Index Cooking Recipes - Supplemental Set No. 2," - 1908 -
by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk
Barb has sent a more recent version:
Buns That Boys Like
2 packages dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups scalded milk, cooled
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
white flour*
Instructions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix all ingredients. Grease bowl generously with
bacon drippings. Let rise once. Punch Down and let rise again. Make buns and
place on cookie sheet. Let rise at room temperature overnight. Bake at 350 degrees
for 20 to 25 minutes. (start about 4 p.m. for overnight.) *Enough white flour to
make dough that is easy to handle - 5, 6, or 7 cups, depending on the type of flour.

Hi Pam,
If the recipe calls for it, then you need it. For each tsp of cream of tartar in the recipe,
you can substitute 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice.
This tip is from "The Food Substitutions Bible" by David Joachim.
