LUNCH BREAD.
1 pint of flour.
1 tablespoonful of butter.
3 tablespoonfuls of sugar.
1 teaspoonful of soda.
2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar.
2 eggs.
1 cup of milk and a little salt.

BREAKFAST PUFFS.
One tumbler of flour, one tumbler of milk, and one egg. Beat the yolk
and milk together, then add the flour, and lastly the white of the
egg. Bake a few minutes in a hot oven.--_Mrs. I. H._
_Another Recipe for the Same._
Take two eggs well beaten and stir into a pint of milk; add a little
salt, two spoonfuls of melted butter, one and one-half pints of flour.
Stir thoroughly, so as to avoid lumps. Grease the cups in which you
pour the batter, and fill them two-thirds full.
SALT-RISEN BREAD.
Make into a thin batter:
1 pint of flour.
1 tablespoonful of corn meal.
Half-teaspoonful salt.
Set in a warm place to rise. After it has risen, pour into it two
quarts of flour, with sufficient warm water to make up a loaf of
bread. Work it well, set it to rise again, and when risen
sufficiently, bake it.--_Mrs. T. L. J._
_Another Recipe for the Same._
Into a pitcher, put one teacup of milk fresh from the cow, two teacups
of boiling water, one tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt.
Into this stir thoroughly a little less than a quart of flour. Set the
pitcher in a kettle of moderately warm water and keep it at a uniform
temperature. Keep a towel fastened over the mouth of the pitcher. Set
the kettle in front of the fire to keep the water warm. Let it stand
three hours, then beat it up well, after which do not interrupt it. If
in two hours it does not begin to rise, put in a large slice of apple.
As soon as it rises sufficiently, have ready two quarts of flour, half
a tablespoonful of lard and more salt, and make up immediately. Should
there not be yeast enough, use warm water. Put into an oven and set
before a slow fire to rise, after which bake slowly. The yeast must be
made up at seven o'clock in the morning.--_Miss N. C. A._
WAFFLES.
1 pint milk.
3 tablespoonfuls flour.
1 tablespoonful corn meal.
1 tablespoonful melted butter.
1 light teaspoonful salt.
Three eggs, beaten separately, the whites added last. To have good
waffles, the batter must be made thin. Add another egg and a teacup
of boiled rice to the above ingredients, if you wish to make rice
waffles.--_Mrs. S. T._
WAFFLES.
1 quart of flour.
1 quart of sour cream (or buttermilk, if you have no cream).
6 eggs.
1½ teaspoonful of soda.
Half a tablespoonful of melted lard, poured in after the batter
is mixed.
This may be baked as flannel cakes or muffins.--_Mrs. H. D._
