Flour 1 pint
Baking powder 3 teaspoonfuls
Salt 1/2 teaspoonful
Eggs 2 or 1
Milk 1-1/4 cup
Butter, _or_ butter substitute 1 tablespoonful
Sugar, if desired 1 tablespoonful
_For baking_, greased muffin pan. Bake about half an hour.
_Method of mixing_ is No. 1.
This recipe may be varied in many ways.
(_a_) Use 1/2 cup cooked cereal in place of an equal quantity
of flour. Will you change the amount of wetting?
(_b_) One cup fine white corn meal, or 1/2 cup yellow meal in
place of equal quantities of flour. Corn meal absorbs more
water than white flour.
What change in the wetting?
The oven should be the temperature for bread, and the baking
at least 3/4 of an hour.
(_c_) One cup Graham or rye meal in place of an equal quantity
of flour.
=3. Baking-powder biscuit.=
_Ingredients._
Flour 1 pint
Baking powder 3 teaspoonfuls
Salt 1/2 teaspoonful
Butter, _or_ butter substitute 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls
Milk 1 scant cup
_For shaping_, molding board, rolling pin, and biscuit cutter.
_For baking_, an iron sheet or pan sprinkled with flour. Oven
about 425° F., a ten-second test, or golden brown paper. Bake
twenty minutes to half an hour.
_Method of mixing_ is No. 2.
_To shape._ Dust the board with flour, turn out the dough, dredge
with flour, pat into a firm mass, and then pat or lightly roll out
to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out with a cutter dipped in flour. (A
small glass or the top of a round tin can may be used.)
_Variations._——Add 1 egg. This makes a delicious biscuit. Sprinkle
the top with granulated sugar, and spice. Dried currants washed,
and dredged with flour, may be laid on the top.
Increase the butter to two or three tablespoonfuls, and decrease
the wetting and the mixture becomes _shortcake_. This is the
mixture to use for the true strawberry shortcake. Many other
fruits may be used, both uncooked and cooked.

Flour 2-1/2 cups
Salt 1/2 teaspoonful

Egg 1
_Method._——Mix dry ingredients. Add sour milk, egg well beaten,
and melted butter in order given. Beat thoroughly. Drop by
spoonfuls on a greased griddle and let cook until the edges are
cooked and the cake full of bubbles. Turn with a cake turner or
