Conrad Veidt & Mary Philbin The Man Who Laughs, 1928

#lonchaney #maryphilbin #phantomoftheopera

Thanks to the blog Movies Silently, I found a recipe from Mary Philbin! She's best remembered as Christine in "The Phantom of the Opera", but my favorite role of hers is Dea in "The Man Who Laughs". Her recipe is for apple brown betty, and it was published in the 1929 edition of the Photoplay Cookbook. She recommends to serve it with hard sauce, which I'd never heard of before but is basically a boozy, pourable buttercream sauce. Yum! Seriously, this recipe is amazing, like fall or winter as a dessert. I'll definitely be making this many, many more times. Thanks, Mary! Mary Philbin's Brown Betty 3/4 cup sugar 2 t. cinnamon 4 apples, peeled and sliced (I used Granny Smith, my go-to baking apple) 2 cups breadcrumbs Flakes of butter The juice of one lemon Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (205 C.) In a bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Grease a baking dish and line with a layer of sliced apples, sprinkle with some of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Then a layer of breadcrumbs, with more cinnamon and sugar, and a few small slices of butter. Repeat until the pan is filled, covering finally with breadcrumbs. Dot the top with butter and pour over the lemon juice. Bake, covered, for 35 minutes, then uncovered for ten minutes. Serve with hard sauce*. *Mary didn't include a hard sauce recipe, but a quick Google search gave me this one from The Spruce Eats. It offers a few variations on it, including some non-alcoholic ones, but I made mine with Irish whiskey: https://www.thespruceeats.com/hard-sauce-for-bread-pudding-3056248 #FeedingCreatively #ClassicHollywood #SilentFilmStars #MaryPhilbin #MaryPhilbinsBrownBetty #MoviesSilently #1929PhotoplayCookbook #SimpleBaking #ColdWeatherDesserts #HardSauce #AppleBrownBetty https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDU8tYLJYK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
