1. One quart of flour, a piece of butter the size of an egg, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two eggs, two teacups of milk, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one of soda and a little salt. Scatter the cream of tartar, sugar, and the salt into the flour; add the eggs, the butter melted, and one cup of milk; dissolve the soda in the remaining cup, and stir all together steadily a few moments. Bake in two round pans.

Boiled Indian Bread

Buckwheat Cakes

Take warm water, and thicken it with flour, to which add a table-spoonful of molasses to make them brown well. Brewers' yeast is best, but it cannot generally be obtained except in large towns. In the morning add a little soda. If the batter is of the right consistence, and the cakes baked quickly and eaten direct from the griddle, they will be quite different from the tough, heavy things too often stacked up before the fire.

English Tea Cake

How To Freshen Stale Bread

Milk Sponge Bread

Put a pint of boiling water in a pitcher, with a teaspoonful of sugar, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, and the same of soda; let it stand till you can bear your linger in it; then add flour to make a thick batter; beat it hard for two minutes; now place the pitcher in a kettle of hot water - not hot enough to scald the mixture; keep the water at the same temperature till the emptyings are light. If set early in the morning they will be ready, if watched carefully, at eleven o'clock to make a sponge, the same as for other bread, with a quart of very warm milk. Let this sponge get very light; then make into loaves, and set to rise again, taking care they do not get too light this time before putting in the oven, or the bread will be dry and tasteless.

Lemon Turnovers

Four dessert spoonfuls of flour, one of powdered sugar, the rind of one lemon, two ounces of melted butter, two eggs and a little milk. Mix flour, sugar, and lemon with the milk to the consistency of batter; add the butter and eggs well beaten. Fry, and turn over.
