A Mother's Recipes

In 1931, Winifred Wallace married Ted King in Montreal. For her wedding present from her mother, she asked for a copy of her mother's recipe box (a thoughtful request during the Depression, which asked only time not money). She also received a copy of her mother's reference cookbook, the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, which she kept all her life. Ted died in 1936; in 1938 she married Charles Sankey and moved to St. Catharines.

After a lifetime of use, here is what was in the box. None of the original cards remain, as all were later typed out by Dad with more precise measurements to replace "butter the size of a walnut" and "to taste". They continued to be adapted to changing ingredients throughout Mom's life, as you can see from the example at right. Credits to sources are noted as they are on the recipe cards, and identified when known.

Grandmother used a teacup whose saucer had been broken as her cup measure. From as early as I can remember, Mom used a standard American 'Pyrex' measuring cup, 237 ml graduated in 8 fl.oz. Tablespoons are supposed to be 1/2 fl.oz. - Mom's was 15.6 ml - 5% larger than official size. American teaspoons are supposed to be 1/3 tablespoon - Mom's was 4.3 ml 15% smaller than official. Pints (pt) in Canada were always Imperial (568 ml) as were quarts (qt, 1136 ml). Temperatures are °F, " is used for inches. Her loaf pans were Pyrex, hence always greased and floured. Her cake tins had a rotating releaser, so didn't have to be.

Canadian flour changed considerably in the years after WW2 when protein content became more important than gluten level for international marketing. It is changing yet again now that Americans are running all major Canadian millers. Adjustments must be expected with modern flour.

Living on a dairy farm, grandmother used her own whole raw milk, which sours naturally on the counter between morning milking and supper baking time. In fact, it soured within 2 days even in an ice frig; recipes were developed specifically to use it up rather than waste it. By 1938 essentially all retail milk was pasteurised at 62C for 30 min in Canada, but still soured naturally during a day at room temperature. Mom used whole Jersey unhomogenized milk from Mason's Dairy, 6% butterfat, and usually poured off half the cream for whipping. Shortly after 1957 the temperature required for milk pasteurization was increased a bit, but by this time almost all Canadian dairies used a temperature of 72C for 16 s and it no longer sours. (Microfiltered milk here often omits the word pasteurised, but it's required to be.) Adding 1 Tbsp lemon juice or vinegar per cup of milk replaces the acidity of sour milk, but not the leavening or taste; home made yoghurt is a better substitute.

Buttermilk to grandmother meant what was left after making butter. Since the Wallaces used a cream separator, it didn't have to be fermented as it was on farms where milk had to sit unrefrigerated for a while to let cream rise to the top, hence probably wasn't acid. Mom's buttermilk from Mason's might have been acidified to assist in butter production, or it might have been the same as grandmother's. Modern Canadian liquid buttermilk is made from liquid milk components and artificially cultured with lactic acid before being pasteurized, hence is more acid than the product grandmother or Mom used. However, dried buttermilk is made in plants that produce butter, thus made from true buttermilk.

Mom's shortening, and that of her mother, was either butter or fat left over from other cooking, notably chicken fat for cookies, bacon fat or lard for baking, and pork fat for frying. Crisco, then a hydrogenated cottonseed oil which was removed from the market in 2002, was held in reserve, as was corn oil which she rarely used. Adjustments must be expected with today's products (and cholesterol concerns).

Baking powder was then "double acting", baking soda with cream of tartar (a fast acting acid) and sodium aluminum phosphate as a slow acting acid (that reacts with soda only when heated during baking). Many cooks disliked the metallic taste of the aluminum and used only baking soda and cream of tartar. That required that cakes have their liquid ingredients mixed in a separate bowl from the dry ingredients - they were combined only when the oven was fully preheated, and immediately put in the oven so the fast rising was effective. Today, most Canadian baking powder uses only baking soda and monocalcium phosphate, a slow acting acid, and this technique is no longer required. The balance of baking soda, cream of tartar and baking powder will need adjustments today.

Most of Mom's flavourings were natural: vanilla extract, almond extract, fresh lemon and orange juice, real rum, sherry and brandy in particular.

Teabisk was a common boxed premix; a cup can be replaced by 1 cup pastry flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 Tbsp shortening. An envelope of gelatine contained 1 Tbsp, 7 g. Her cocoa was Fry's, alkali (Dutch) processed.

I thank André Jean of Health Canada and Tom Kane of the Ontario Dairy Council for assistance in tracing the history of milk products.
