blended in proportion. Good,
lively yeast is added, and if milk is used for the mixing it must be
scalded and then cooled before using. To prepare the flour for the
mixing:

Three pounds of buckwheat flour,
One and one-half pounds of wheat flour,
One pound of corn flour,
One ounce of salt,
One-half ounce of baking soda.

Sift twice to thoroughly mix and then place in a dry container and the
flour is then ready to use.

BUCKWHEAT CAKES

Scald and then rinse out with cold water a large stone crock. Pour in
one cupful of scalded and cooled milk and

One and one-half cupfuls of water, 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
Two tablespoonfuls of sugar.

Crumble in one-half of an yeast cake and stir until dissolved, then
add three cupfuls of the prepared buckwheat flour. Beat to thoroughly
mix and then cover and set aside overnight to rise. In the morning
add sufficient lukewarm water to bring the mixture to a pouring
consistency. This usually requires about one cupful. Add two
tablespoonfuls of syrup. Beat hard for three minutes and then let
stand in a warm place while the griddle is heating, then bake.

RICE GRIDDLE CAKES

Rice griddle cakes may be prepared as follows: Wash one-half cup of
rice in plenty of water and then place in a saucepan and add three
cupfuls of water. Cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is
soft. Let cool. Now place in a crock

Two and one-half cupfuls water, 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
Two tablespoonfuls sugar,
One-half yeast cake.

Stir until dissolved and then add

The prepared rice,
Three cupfuls white flour,
One-quarter teaspoonful baking soda.

Beat to mix and then cover and set aside to rise overnight. In the
morning add sufficient lukewarm water to make a pouring batter, adding
two tablespoonfuls of syrup and one teaspoonful of salt. Beat very
hard and then set in a warm place while the griddle is heating.

The use of a small amount of baking soda as given in above recipes
is for the purpose of neutralizing the slightly acid flavor of the
buckwheat--a flavor to which many folks object.

Either of above mixes may be baked in a waffle iron instead of using
the griddle. Try it some morning for the sake of variety. Use salad
oil in a new sewing-machine oil can to grease waffle iron.

Almost everyone loves good sweet butter on the hot cakes in the
morning. At the present prices of butter the frugal housewife looks
upon the fast disappearing pat of butter w
