Directions Cook 3/4 of the noodles in boiling, salted water following
the instructions on the package. Meanwhile, using a heavy pan or a small cast-iron frying pan, melt the
butter into the oil over medium heat. When it is bubbling add the remaining (dry) noodles to the pan. Stir constantly until the noodles turn
brown and crisp. Drain the boiled noodles when they are tender and put
them in a bowl. Pour the crisp noodles and the remaining oil and butter
over the boiled noodles. Serve with gravy on the side. |

Notes Mary Westbrook was an accomplished African-American cook
who prepared hundreds of lunches for the Ryan family of Summit, Mississippi
during the 1940s and 50s. Even after she retired, Mary would occasionally
prepare the Ryans' Sunday dinner -- served at lunchtime, of course.
