Roll out on floured board, ⅛ inch thick. Cut out with medium-size biscuit cutter which has been dipped in flour. Then taking a smaller cutter, cut ½ of these rounds again. Brush the large rounds lightly with melted butter. Then take the outer rings and lay on top of the large buttered rounds. Put on greased baking tin. Put a teaspoon of jam in each tart and bake in hot oven (475°) for about 10 minutes. The small centers can be brushed with butter and baked in the same manner and served as little tea biscuits.

They stopped to watch a cake walk In the little frosted square Where all the best and richest cakes Were stepping it for fair. The Scotch scones danced the Highland fling, The Dutch cakes danced the clog, And Hun Bun led the bun ballet Assisted by his dog. Young Billy felt so gay himself He danced with Sally Lunn, He never knew a cake walk Was such a lot of fun. But with every passing minute Bill grew hungrier until Bunbury’s king was worried! “I’m afraid that little Bill Will bring this cake walk to an end And start a canni-ball, He’ll eat my favorite subjects up Which wouldn’t do at all.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PARTY CAKES ½ cup butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs ⅔ cup milk 2 cups flour ½ teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons Dr. Price’s Baking Powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Cream butter, add sugar slowly; add beaten eggs.
