Parsnip Cakes
1 1/4 LB fresh parsnips (about 5 medium-sized)
2 TBS all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
2 TBS margarine or butter, softened
1 TBS onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
Dry bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
1/4 C shortening
Scrape and pare the parsnips, leaving whole. Cut into halves, fourths or slices. Heat 1" of salted water (1/2 tsp. salt to 1 C of water) to boiling. Add the parsnips. Cover and heat to boiling and reduce heat. Cook until tender (about 30 minutes), and then drain. Mash the parsnips well, and then mix in a bowl with the flour, salt, pepper, butter, onion and egg. Shape parsnip mixture into patties, and coat with the bread crumbs. Heat shortening in a large skillet over low heat until melted. Cook the parsnip patties in the shortening over medium heat, turning once, until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
