Half a pint of hot milk, half a pint of hot water, half a yeast cake, an
even teaspoonful of salt and one of sugar, and about a pound and a half
of white flour. Dissolve the yeast cake in a little tepid water and add
to the batter when lukewarm. The milk and water mixed must be stirred
into the flour while hot. Beat the batter very hard, ten or fifteen
minutes; it should be a soft dough. Set to rise over night. Flour the
board well, drop the dough in large spoonfuls in the flour, flatten with
the hands and form into shape. Let them rise on the board in a warm
place, and when light bake on a griddle, heated only half as hot as for
griddle cakes. Flour the muffins and bake slowly on one side six
minutes; then turn and bake the same on the other side. They are very
nice split and toasted and buttered immediately and put together again.
GRAHAM POPOVERS.
Beat three eggs very light, and add to them one tablespoonful of sugar,
one pint of milk, a saltspoonful of salt. Put in a mixing bowl half a
pint each of Graham and white flour, stir the eggs and milk gradually
into this and beat until perfectly smooth. Then add one tablespoonful of
melted butter and beat again for some minutes. Brush the cups over with
melted butter; if they are of iron heat them, half fill with the batter
and bake in a quick oven fifty minutes at least.
GRAHAM GEMS.
To one quart of sweet milk, four cups of Graham flour, a teaspoonful of
salt. Stir together and beat well, the longer the better. Have the gem
pans very hot, brush well with butter, half fill them with the batter
and bake thirty-five minutes.
GEMS OF KERNEL (Middlings) AND WHITE FLOUR.
Two cups of kernel flour, two cups of white flour, four cups of milk or
two of milk and two of water, one egg; a little salt, a heaping
teaspoonful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two large
tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Beat the egg very light in a bowl, add
the sugar and salt, the milk and butter, sift the flour together and
beat the batter hard for a few minutes. Have the iron gem pans very hot,
butter and fill, and bake them in a good, quick oven not less than
thirty-five minutes.
GEMS OF RYE MEAL.
Mix together three-quarters of a cup of rye meal and a quarter of a cup
of white flour and a saltspoonful of salt. Beat two egg yolks and stir
into it a cup of sweet milk and one tablespoonful of granulated sugar,
add this to the rye meal and flour, beat hard, then add the whites of
two eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Heat the iron gem pans, brush with
butter and bake thirty-five to forty minutes.
