About the dish

The recipe is built on a layered dish with sauce, a typical 1940s basis for a main course. The draft from p. 478 also contains an omelette-batter dish with meat stew.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the sauce

    Melt the butter, stir in the flour and thin with the milk. Bring to the boil and add the egg yolks, salt and paprika.

  2. 2

    Layer

    Layer boiled, neatly cut macaroni, ham, mushrooms and sliced hard-boiled eggs in a greased dish. Put a little sauce between each layer.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Drizzle melted butter over everything and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in a hot oven (about 200 °C (390 °F)) for ¾ hour.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with boiled egg slices, mushrooms and cut-out roots. Serve with tomato sauce.

Changes from the original

Times and oven are interpreted (¾ hour; hot oven read as about 200 °C (390 °F)). The text is joined from two pages; an unclear sentence about chopping macaroni and ham is left out of the steps, and the pancake part from p. 478 (omelette batter with meat stew) is not reproduced as ingredients.
