Hello Sue,
The only recipe that I can find is in Norwegian ( or some
Scandinavian language...). See below.
Phaed
Avletter
Ingredienser:
3 dl kremfløte
3 dl melk
3 dl vann
2 dl byggmel
6 dl hvetemel
3 dl lettrømme
1/2 ts salt
Tilberedning:
(ca 90 stk.)
Visp fløten stiv og bland i melk og vann. Visp så i byggmel og
hvetemel, litt om gangen, til
røren er jevn og tykk. Dekk røren til og la den stå kjølig natten
over.
Bland i lettrømme og salt like før du skal begynne å steke.
Varm jernet på kokeplate på svak varme, 250-500 w. Legg 1 ss røre
i jernet og klem lett
sammen. Røren bør fylle hele jernet. Skrap bort røre som
eventuelt tyter ut av jernet.
Avletter skal bli lyst gylne på begge sider, og sprø. Det tar
derfor litt tid å steke kakene.
Legg et lett press på kaken med en gang den blir tatt ut av
jernet, og la den ligge under
press til neste kake er stekt. Legg kakene etter hvert i stabel.
Oppbevar avletter i helt tett boks på et tørt og kjølig sted.
Fra Gudbrandsdalen og dalførene rundt kommer de lekre, tynne,
sprø kakene som kalles
”avletter”. Kakene skal helst stekes i spesielle jern med et
særpreget, vakkert mønster. Men
slike jern er i våre dager vanskelig å få kjøpt, så alternativet
blir å steke i krumkakejern, noe
som også gir godt resultat.

Several years ago, Dotty Griffith, Food Editor of the Dallas Morning News,
printed a recipe from Dallas Independent School District. I will repeat the
request and her response verbatim:
Dear Dotty: In the late '50s and '60s my bizarre young taste buds were
satisfied quite often by what was called a School Burger. These delectable
morsels, a ghoulish green in color, were prepared by the lunchroom chefs of
the Dallas Independent School District. If at all possible, I was hoping you
would have the right connections to obtain a recipe to help satisfy my
current cravings for this sandwich of indescribable qualities.
Response: You called it a School Burger, but its official name is Hot Meat
Bun, Sandwich 13. DISD shared with us versions of the recipe that make 50,
100, 125 and 175 servings. I don't think you really want to make it, but
you'll probably find the method.....well, interesting.
For 50 servings, soak 6 ounces of stale bread in 2 cups of beef stock
until soft. Mash until no pieces of bread remain. Add 1 cup water to 6
ounces of dehydrated frozen potatoes; bring mixture to a boil and set aside
for 10 minutes. Then drain the potatoes and chop fine.
Have you noticed there's no meat yet? Well, here it comes. Combine
bread, potatoes, 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper with 9
pounds of ground beef. Place in large shallow baking pan and bake at 425 F
until well done. Stir often and keep meat broken up with potato masher. Do
not let lumps of meat form. Pour off excess fat.
When not lump busting, chop 1 pound of onions and combine with 1 cup
pickle relish (hence the aforementioned greenish cast), 1/2 cup vinegar and
1 cup mustard. Add relish mixture with meat and mix well. Moisten with
additional beef broth (up to 2 cups) as needed. Spread meat mixture between
halves of hamburger buns. Stack filled buns two layers deep in shallow
baking pans. Cover and heat well just before serving.
This is a true recipe; I could not make this up.
-David
p.s.: Yes, her response included the line "this is a true recipe; I could
not make this up."
Hi!
I was searching your site for a recipe and I ran across a request for the
recipe for Brown Bobbies. My grandmother had a Brown Bobby machine ....
and she used it!! During the Depression, my grandfather had some major health
problems and was unable to work, so my grandmother supported the family (8
children) by cleaning houses, taking in wash and selling Brown Bobbies.
The kids would take them and sell them on the streets or door-to-door. It's
still a fall favorite at our house, especially served with fresh cider.
My daughter makes these in an electric donut maker -- it's not the distinctive
triangular shape but they taste every bit as good! This was Grandma's recipe:
Brown Bobbies
2 eggs
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 -1 tsp nutmeg
2 cups sugar
2 cups buttermilk
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl just until smooth -- batter is
fairly thick. Heat Brown Bobby machine; lightly brush donut wells with
shortening. Spoon batter into the wells until slightly heaped; close lid
and bake until golden brown. Enjoy!!
