Good morning. Once again, John Cole has the pleasure of announcing that another Mary Lee Taylor radio demonstration is underway in the Pet Milk Experimental Kitchen. You know, for nearly six years now, Ms. Taylor's broadcast two recipes a week, one on Tuesday, another on Thursday, which make appetizing, delicious food that's more wholesome and at the same time costs less. The stuffed vanilla wafers, which are the feature this morning, are a perfect example of the creative genius that reigns over this kitchen. Now, of course, you may be saying that these coconut filled vanilla wafer sandwiches aren't news to you at all because you were tempted by a color photograph of them in your grocery store to take the recipe that was offered and buy the needed groceries. And you've already made stuffed vanilla wafers. Or you may be saying to yourself that you found the same recipe in the latest petmur cookbook, Delicious Wholesome Meals for two or four or Six, and has discovered the charms of a wonderful filling. Well, if you have, you're one up on me. I haven't.

Oh, yes, but you're about to, John Cole, and you know it, so you needn't pretend to be so abused.

A
All right, baby sailor.

And now good morning to everyone in my nice audience. If you could look into this Pet Mill kitchen through your loudspeaker, I know you'd think that the stuffed vanilla wafers I've been putting together look mighty festive. The creamy yellow filling bristling with coconut certainly has a comelier look. Now, Mr. Cole has fallen for it in a big way. He's reaching for a second one now with a look on his face that makes me think the first one just hit the right spot.

It did. And the second and third will too.

Well, now let me give you the tested recipe so easily. Make stuffed vanilla wafers out of four grocery staples. Vanilla wafers, marshmallows, coconut and pet milk. Like all pet milk recipes, this one will have both the directions and the amounts of the ingredients listed in the order in which you use them. Ready, Then write down. First, melt over boiling water. Melt over boiling water. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons butter. Blend in. Blend in 2 tablespoons flour. 2 tablespoons flour 18 teaspoon salt 18 teaspoon salt. Stir in slowly. Stir in slowly. 1/2 cup pit milk, 1/2 cup PET milk. Cook until thick and smooth, stirring constantly. Cook until thick and smooth, stirring constantly, then add. Add 16 marshmallows. 16 marshmallows. Continue cooking while stirring until marshmallows are melted. Continue cooking while stirring until marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat and fold in. Remove from heat and fold in 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut. 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut. Cool thoroughly. Cool thoroughly. Spread on flat sides of Spread on flat sides of 18 vanilla wafers. 18 vanilla wafers. Cover with 18 vanilla wafers, putting flat sides of wafers next next to filling. Cover with 18 vanilla wafers, putting flat sides of wafers next to filling. Make ample for six now, when you use that recipe for stuffed vanilla wafers I've just given, don't think that mixture of melted marshmallows and pep milk is too thin. It will be quite thin when you first take it off the heat, which should be just as soon as the marshmallows have melted. When the coconut is stirred in and the filling cooled as it should be, it will be just right to spread on the vanilla wafers or on graham crackers or some favorite plain cookie you've made yourself. By the way, if graham crackers are your preference, you need to know that you have filling enough for only 24. Yes, 24 graham crackers rather than the 36 vanilla wafers mentioned in the recipe. That number of vanilla wafers is based on the size in which most of them come 2 inches in diameter. Because there are smaller ones, I suggest that you buy your vanilla wafers by weight and 6 ounces. Yes, 6 ounces will give you just enough vanilla wafers to come out even with the filling. For the shredded coconut in the stuffed vanilla wafers, you need 4 ounces. That's 4 ounces, which is the exact amount that a can of coconut holds. Of course, you can use bulk coconut if you prefer to get just the 16 marshmallows required to make the filling for stuffed vanilla wafers, you need to buy only a quarter of a pound. Yes, a quarter of a pound. And there's another tip about this very useful recipe. If you have young daughters who have reached the stage when they want to cook, let them try their wings with stuffed vanilla wafers. Besides being a perfectly fail proof recipe, the cookies, it turns out, are most wholesome food for them to eat. Not too rich or too sweet, made with whole milk and containing a surprising amount of that. What could be more perfect for youngsters? The whole milk in these stuffed vanilla wafers is of course pure, safe pet milk used in its double rich undiluted form just as it comes from the can. If you're thinking that a cup of cream would have just about the consistency of undiluted pet milk and you could use that in its place, without making the spread too thin. Don't forget that cream is far from being whole milk. And that's what pep milk is when it comes to supplying the food values which have earned for whole milk the reputation of being nature's most nearly perfect food. That half a cup of undiluted pep milk in the stuffed vanilla wafers supplies the food value of a cup of extra rich whole milk. But obviously you couldn't put a cup of ordinary milk into this filling that would make it too thin. And if you used a half a cup of ordinary milk in place of the half a cup of undiluted double rich pet milk called for in the recipe, you would be making the filling far less wholesome. Not only because it would contain less than half the important whole milk substances, but because it would have practically none of the sunshine vitamin D which pet milk puts into it. Because all pet milk is irradiated, which means that it is enriched with this priceless vitamin that growing children must have to help make their teeth and bones grow properly. Just think of being able to give your family some of the vitamin D they so much need in delicious food. Well, with my very best wishes for your great success with my stuffed vanilla wafers, I must leave you until next Tuesday when I'll be found on the station to which you are listening. Now ready to demonstrate a brand new dish that's especially nice for parties. Daylight saving time will be over on next Sunday night and the return to standard time may make a difference in the hour when you'll be hearing me next Tuesday. So check your newspaper please for the exact time of my next Tuesday demonstration. Until Tuesday then. Goodbye.
