OATMEAL AND GRAHAM GEMS.
Mix equal parts of graham and fine Irish oatmeal into a thick batter,
with equal parts of milk and water, fill hot gem pans, and bake with a
brisk heat. Very sweet and tender.--_Dr. Holbrook._
WHITE FLOUR GEMS.
Stir briskly into new milk, or milk and water, sufficient flour to
make a batter not too stiff to drop from a spoon--much depends on the
consistency; experiment only will decide. Add the whites of two eggs
whipped to a stiff froth and beat all together thoroughly. A little
cream put in at the last makes the gems more tender. Bake in hot gem
pans in a quick oven.
BROWN GEMS.
Mix with water equal quantities of rye and Indian meal, beat it to a
cream, perhaps ten or fifteen minutes, bake in thin cakes in flat gem
pans.
BEST GRAHAM BISCUITS.
Make as thick a graham mush by stirring the flour into boiling water,
as is possible, then take it from the stove to the moulding board,
knead into it more graham flour, roll about an inch thick, cut into
biscuits, and bake in a hot oven.
LIGHT GRAHAM BISCUITS.
Make the dough of graham yeast bread a trifle stiffer, roll and cut
into biscuits. When light, bake thirty minutes.
DELICIOUS CORN BREAD.
One quart corn meal, partly scalded with one pint boiling water. Add to
this one pint sweet milk, stir to a smooth batter, dip a large cooking
spoonful at a time on your hot griddle in separate cakes, let it stand
to get the lower crust well started, then place the griddle in the hot
oven, on the top grate, and allow the baking to be finished there. The
cake should be a nice brown. About half an hour’s time will be required
for baking.--_Dr. M. A. Fairchild._
OATMEAL CAKE.
Take one pint of fine oatmeal, and warm water enough to stir up a
batter, like griddle cakes. Pour it into a shallow baking pan or
griddle, and bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. Or bake in small cakes
on the griddle, first putting in a handful of wheat flour and a little
more water.
BOSTON BROWN BREAD.
Three cups graham flour, one cup Indian meal, one cup molasses, two
cups sweet milk, one cup sour milk, one teaspoon soda. Steam three
hours and bake two hours.
GRAHAM BREAD.
Soak half a cake of compressed yeast, stir it into one quart warm
water and two quarts graham flour. Put into a deep sheet iron bread
pan which has been well greased. When light bake one hour or more. If
compressed yeast cannot be obtained, use home-made or baker’s yeast.
The dough should be as stiff as can be stirred with a spoon. Make bread
from fine flour of the entire wheat the same way, only a trifle stiffer.
