Take a stone jar, pour into it the milk and add the yeast, butter (melted), salt and eggs (well beaten), then the flour, and beat well; let it stand several hours or until quite light; then put into a greased cake-pan, in which "Sally" should again rise before being put to bake. This is good baked in muffin rings or pans.

First take 2 tablespoonfuls of flour from the white flour, the salt and lard, and scald with just enough boiling water to make a smooth batter; when cool add the rest of the flour and the soda, with enough warm milk to make a stiff batter, putting in also the yeast; let it rise about 3 hours, or until very light; then add the meal, molasses and brown flour. If too stiff to stir with a spoon add a little warm milk or water. After it has risen sufficiently, bake slowly. MRS. BAUMANN.
