MUFFINS.
SIFT a quart of flour, put to it a little salt, and a large spoonful of

flour up with cold water, as soft as you can to allow it to be handled; set it
in a moderately warm place. Next morning, beat it well with a spoon, put it on
the griddle in a round form, and bake it nicely, turning them frequently till
done.
FRENCH ROLLS.
SIFT a quart of flour, add a little salt, a spoonful of yeast, two eggs well
beaten, and half a pint of milk--knead it, and set it to rise: next morning,
work in an ounce of butter, make the dough into small rolls, and bake them. The
top crust should not be hard.

three fresh eggs, separating the yelks from the whites--whip them both to a
froth, mix them with the dough, and add gradually milk-warm water, till you make
a batter the thickness of buckwheat cakes: beat it well, and set it to rise till
