Jane Ellison (Borden)

Jane Ellison was a fictional character created in the 1920s by Borden to promote its Eagle Brand condensed milk. Jane, called a "culinary expert", promoted her "Magic Recipes" in magazine articles, on the radio, and in her 1930s pamphlets Magic! The most amazing short-cuts in cooking you ever heard of and New magic in the kitchen: quick, easy recipes made with sweetened condensed milk.[1] Like Betty Crocker, she was also used as the contact point for consumers.[2]

Her "Magic!" book is especially notable for its "Magic Lemon Cream Pie (uncooked filling)", the ancestor of Key lime pie.[3][4]
