Strawberry Torte Is Tasty Pastry When strawberries served over wheat are such a feast it seems nothing short of gilding tho lily to propose going to tho bother of making a shredded wheat strawberry torte. But when one tastos this latter mentioned concoction, well that's another story.

And one well worth tho telling. Hero's tho recipe: Roll fine six shredded wheat cults. Put two-thirds of them Into a thickly buttered glass baking dish. Cover crumbs with strawberries, 2 cups, sliced. Then mix together two beaten eggs, two-thirds cup sugar, one-half cup thick sour cream, one teaspoon vanilla.

Put over tho strawberries. Sprinkle with the remainder of the crumbs and bake at 460 degrees (a hot oven) for ten minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees, slightly under moderate, and bake for 30 minutes. Servo cold with a topping of whipped cream 1C you wish. GIRLS OPERATE FARM DARWIN.
