This recipe was clipped from the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper, date unknown but it mentions “rations” and the winner of a Glenna Snow cook book which was distributed by Akron Beacon Journal in the late 1930s and 1940s so this probably dates from that time. Recipe is typed below (I omitted the cook book winner’s information) along with a scanned copy.

GRAHAM CRACKER PUDDING

NOTHING rationed but a little sugar in this recipe. We added a little bit of grated orange peel to the sauce. You may, too, if you like the flavor of orange.

BEAT yolks of 3 eggs, and 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoonful baking powder mixed. Add 1 cup graham crackers rolled fine and blend. Then add 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 teaspoonful vanilla. Beat 3 egg whites until very stiff and add to first mixture. Bake at 375 degrees until firm.

SAUCE. Slightly beat 1 egg, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup margarine and 1/4 cup orange juice. Mix all together and boil for 5 minutes or until thick. Serve hot over pudding.
