led a great many times; cannot be rolled
too much. When sufficiently rolled to appear like a strip of cream
coloured satin a quarter of an inch thick, cut in small squares with a
sharp knife. Pinch the edges of each square and in centre of each cake,
put a split half of blanched almond. Butter baking tins and bake in a
moderate oven to a fine pale yellow tint. These are delicious and are
particularly good in summer eaten with fruit.

SCOTCH SHORT BREAD.

MRS. BLAIR.

One pound of flour, one half pound butter, six ounces sugar; cream
butter and sugar, add flour. Roll into a smooth ball and work down until
half an inch in thickness, an operation which is rather difficult for a
novice, as it is apt to crack at the edges; but the knack is soon
learned, and the more it is worked the better. Prick with a small
skewer, strew with large carraway comfits, and bake slowly, a pale
brown.

BANANA FRITTERS.

MRS. GEORGE ELLIOTT.

Take six bananas, peel and dip in beaten white of egg, then roll in
bread crumbs. Fry in butter a golden brown. Put them on a dish, squeeze
lemon juice over them, also a little sifted sugar.

APPLE FRITTERS.

MRS. HARRY LAURIE.

Three tart apples, two eggs; one cup milk; one teaspoonful salt; about
one and one half cups of flour; one teaspoonful baking powder. Pare
and core the apples; cut them into rings; dust with sugar and cinnamon;
stand aside to use. Beat eggs without separating until light; add milk,
salt and sufficient flour to make a soft batter; beat well and add the
baking powder; beat again; Have ready very hot a deep pan of lard, dip
each ring of apple in the batter, drop it in the fat and fry until
brown. Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar.

FRENCH PANCAKES.

MRS. BENSON BENNETT.

Four eggs, weight of four eggs in butter, sugar and flour, one half a
teaspoonful of soda, one half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. As much
milk as will make a batter. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, add
the four eggs well beaten stir in all the other ingredients. Bake in tin
plates.

SCOTCH HAGGIS.

MRS. ANDREW T. LOVE.

Boil a sheep's draught for three quarters of an hour in as much water as
will cover it. Grate down the liver and mince the heart and lights very
fine. Mince two pounds of onions, and two pounds of beef suet, put in
three or four handsful of oatmeal with pepper and salt to taste. Having
these ingredients very well mixed, put them into the bag with a little
of
