Sweetened Condensed Milk -- From Dixie Howerton, Skiatook, OK

Vegetarian: Yes

Did you ever have a recipe call for sweetened condensed milk and you found out that you used the last can the other day. Don't fret, though. Try this substitute that my cousin Dixie Paris Howerton passed along to me.

1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup dried powdered milk

Pour water in a 2 cup measure and stir in dried milk. Microwave on high 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Allow to cool before using. This will substitute for 1 can Eagle Brand.

Lemon Hollandaise Sauce -- From old handwritten recipe

Vegetarian: No

I found this lemon, type of hollandaise sauce recipe in my Home Comfort Cook Book. It was handwritten in pencil on the Foreward page of the cook book. There was no Title for the recipe, so I am calling it Lemon Hollandaise Sauce. If this recipe rings a bell with anyone, please let me know. Email Linda at the email attached to this recipe. Thanks.

2 Eggs
1/2 Cup butter
1/4 tsp. Salt
Dash Cayenne
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

Place egg yolk with 1/3 Cup butter in top of double boiler. Keep water in bottom of boiler hot but not boiling. Stir eggs and butter constantly. When butter melts add another portion. As it melts and the mixture begins to thicken, add remaining butter. Keep stirring all the time as soon as mixture is thick. Remove from heat and add seasoning. Should sauce separate, beat 2 Tbsp. boiling water drop by drop and increase Lemon Juice 1/2 tsp.
