=German Honey Cakes.=--These are fine for luncheon or the kaffee klatch.
Put into a saucepan two cupfuls strained honey and one cupful sugar.
Warm, add a cupful of butter and a half tablespoonful soda dissolved in
a little warm water. Add a half cupful caraway seed and flour to roll.
Roll into a rather thick sheet, mark into squares, put in bag, and bake.
When done cut in small cakes.
=Pecan Kisses.=--Into the whites of six eggs put fourteen little more
than level tablespoonfuls white sugar and beat long and thoroughly until
stiff enough to stand alone. Have ready a small cup pecan kernels having
them in as perfect halves as possible. Beat in lightly, drop in greased
baking sheet, put in bag. Seal and bake in a moderate oven.
=Mrs. Kelder's Loaf Cake.=--Beat to a cream one and one-half cupfuls
sugar and one-half cupful of butter. Add the yolks of three eggs beaten
until light and thin. Add two and one-half cupfuls flour measured after
sifting with two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Lastly fold in
the stiffly whipped whites of three eggs and flavor to taste. Put in
light tin, set in paper bag. Seal and bake thirty-five minutes.
=Hickory Nut Macaroons.=--To one whole egg beaten light, add one cup
sugar and beat well. Add two tablespoonfuls flour and one cup nut meats
and lastly fold in the stiffly whipped whites of three eggs. Drop by
spoonfuls into a well-greased bag and bake in a moderate oven ten or
twelve minutes.
=Walnut Macaroons.=--One and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-third cup of
butter, three eggs, three cups of flour, one teaspoonful of soda,
dissolved in water, one teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of
cinnamon, one cup of English walnut meats, one cup of chopped dates. Do
not roll the mixture as in ordinary cookies, but drop into a greased bag
with a spoon. Seal and bake slowly for thirty minutes.
=Maple Sugar Cake.=--Add to one cup maple syrup one beaten egg, a pinch
of salt, one cup of thick, sour cream, into which has been stirred a
teaspoonful (scant) of soda, a teaspoonful of ginger and flour to make a
thin batter. Bake in a bag and cut in squares.
=Molasses Coffee Cake.=--Then right here let me give you a recipe for a
fruit cake or gingerbread with fruit as you may elect to call it. Cream
together one cupful of sugar and three-fourths cup of butter. Add one
cupful black molasses, one cupful strong coffee with a teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in it, four beaten eggs, one teaspoonful each cinnamon
and nutmeg, three-fourths teaspoonful cloves, one half pound shredded
citron and three cupfuls sifted flour. Do not beat longer than
necessary. Put in tin, then in bag, and bake in a slow oven.
