Miss Nellie's Delicate Cake.

Four eggs, one and a half cups sugar, half cup butter, half cup sweet milk, two and a half cups flour, two teaspoonfuls French Baking Powder.

 

Mother's Suet Pudding.

One cup suet, shredded and chopped fine, one cup molasses, one cup sweet milk, two eggs, well beaten, a pinch of salt, two teaspoonfuls French Baking Powder stirred in enough flour to make the consistency of soft cake; add a cup of raisins, stoned, and one cup currants dredged with flour; steam four hours; serve with sweet sauce.

 

Mrs. Fuller's Boston Crullers.

Four eggs, six spoonsful of sugar, four tablespoonsful melted butter, three teaspoonfuls French Baking Powder.  Flavor with Hewson's Triple Extracts.

 

Mrs. Roberts' Sponge Cake.

Six eggs, four cups flour, three cups sugar, one cup cold water, four teaspoonfuls French Baking Powder.  Flavor with Hewson's Triple Extract.

 

Muffins.

One quart flour, three teaspoonfuls French Baking Powder thoroughly stirred in the flour, two-thirds of a cup of butter or lard, put on the stove to melt without getting hot, beat two eggs in a bowl, add almost a pint of milk, stir into the flour a little salt, add the butter last, have irons quite hot and fill even full, then bake.

 

Oat Meal Cakes.

One cup oat meal, wet with one cup sweet milk, soak over night, in the morning add a little salt, one teaspoonful Hewson's French Baking Powder, one egg, and enough sweet milk and a little cream to make as other gems, bake in gem-pans in a quick oven.

 

Pandowdies.

Pandowdies are made by paring, cutting and coring apples enough to fill a very deep pan; put in a little cold water  -- a cupful, perhaps -- and cover very closely with rye and Indian meal crust.  Bake four or five hours, then break the rust up, push it down into the hot apples, cover tightly and bake for two or three hours longer; then take form the oven and let it stand covered until morning, when, with good rich milk, you will have a dish fit to set before the king or any other man.

 

Patty-Pan Cakes.

One cup butter, two cups sugar, three eggs, one cup sweet milk, and three teaspoonfuls of French Baking Powder, in enough flour to make the right consistency; add a few currants, and stick a raisin in the top of each cake.

 

Puffett

One quart sifted flour in which mix thoroughly two teaspoonfuls of French Baking Powder, butter the size of an egg, two teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar, two eggs well beaten, mix very smooth and add one pint sweet milk.  Bake immediately.
