I’ve been making this recipe for years, but until now hadn’t seen a recipe for it, Mum just told me how to make it. When I found this in her collection I realized I’d found where her initial inspiration. It’s so simple to make and tastes great.
This is a low kilojoule recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup. I like that beside the chicken and noodles it also has carrot, leek, creamed corn and two types of onions. More than just a soup, more like a meal in a bowl.
Mum cut this recipe out of the Woman’s Day. I make something similar by just sprinkling some French Onion Soup and a dab of butter top of the steak. Either version tastes great.
I guess these are the old version of American Hash Browns, maybe not quite so crunchy, but just as delicious. Mum’s being making them since I was a little girl and they’ve always been one of my favourites.
The old recipe is a bit faded at the edges but reads:
MOCK FISH PATTIES
Combine potato with onion, flour, salt, pepper & parsley. Add unbeaten egg and anchovy essence. Mix well, drop spoonfuls in hot fat & fry until golden brown on both sides. Flatten each piece with back of spoon as it cooks.
I think Mum’s Egg and Bacon Pies were my favorite and the best thing to take on a picnic, but as well she made this Corn Pie. This was more for at home lunches. It makes quite a large pie and is great with a salad.
