INDIAN BREAKFAST CAKES
Take a quart of milk scalding hot; stir into it as much corn-meal as will make a
thick batter, add of salt and saleratus in fine powder, each a teaspoonful, and
when a little cooled, two well-beaten eggs; bake in buttered pans, in a quick
oven. This is a nice breakfast cake.
DELICATE CAKE OF CORN STARCH
Take half a pound of sugar, one-fourth of a pound of butter, the whites of eight
eggs, and a quarter of a pound of corn starch mixed with quarter of a pound of
common flour. Beat all very light, add to the flour a teaspoonful of cream of
tartar, and a half-spoon of fine soda (not saleratus). Flavor with lemon or
rose.
SODA TEACAKES WITHOUT EGGS
Take half a pound of sugar, and half a pound of butter; beat it to a cream.
Dissolve a teaspoonful of fine soda in a cup of milk, and pour it into the
batter, half a nutmeg and flour to make a stiff batter. Bake in tin squares or a
shallow pan, cook twenty minutes.
A VERY GOOD CHEAP CAKE
One cup of butter, one and a half cups of brown sugar, one cup of milk, sweet or
sour, yeast powder or soda--if yeast powder is used, put two teaspoonfuls; if
soda, put one heaping teaspoonful--one cup of molasses, four eggs, one nutmeg,
one pound of raisins, five cups of flour.
