dd gradually
the sugar, then the egg-yolks well beaten. Beat well and add the milk,
the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder sifted together, and egg whites
beaten stiff. Beat well and turn into buttered shallow pan. Sprinkle
with the almonds, then with powdered sugar and bake forty minutes in a
moderate oven.

~WHITE PATTY CAKES~--Cream one-third cup of butter with one cup of
sugar, add one-half cup of milk, one and three-quarter cups of flour
sifted twice with two and one-half level teaspoons of baking powder, and
flavor with a mixture of one-third teaspoon of lemon flavoring and
two-thirds teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. Bake in little plain patty
pans and cover the top of each with white icing. Garnish with two little
leaves cut from angelica and a bit of red candied cherry.

~COFFEE CREAM CAKES AND FILLING~--Roll good plain paste three-eighths of
an inch thick and cut in rounds and through a pastry tube force a cream
cake mixture to make a border come out even with the edge of the round,
and bake in a hot oven. Fill and frost. For the cream cake mixture put
one cup of boiling water, one-half cup of butter and one level
tablespoon of sugar together in a saucepan and boil one minute, then add
one and three-quarters cups of flour all at once. Stir rapidly and when
the cooked mixture cleaves from the pan add five eggs one at a time,
beating well between each addition. Do not beat the eggs before adding.

~COFFEE ECLAIRS~--Put one cup of hot water, one-half cup of butter and
one-half teaspoon of salt in a small saucepan over the fire. The instant
it boils add quickly one and one-half cups of sifted pastry flour. Stir
thoroughly for five minutes, or till it all clears from the pan in a
lump. Let it cool slightly and then add five eggs whole, one at a time.
Mix very thoroughly, then drop the dough with a spoon on to a buttered
baking pan in pieces about four inches long and one and one-half inches
wide and some distance apart. Bake in a quick oven until well puffed up
and done through; they will settle as soon as removed if not baked
sufficiently. When cool, cut along one edge and fill with the prepared
cream and frost with coffee icing.

~CRUMPETS~--Scald two cups of milk, add four tablespoons of melted
butter and when lukewarm one level teaspoon of salt and three and
one-half cups of flour. Beat hard, add one-half yeast cake, dissolved in
one-half cup of lukewarm water and beat again. Let rise until light,
