and well-sifted flour, the
yolks of three fresh eggs and a teaspoon of salt. Butter well the inside
of six or eight deep earthen popover cups and stand them in a pan in a
hot oven. While the cups are heating, beat to a froth the whites of the
three eggs and stir them quickly in the batter. Open the oven door, pull
the pan forward, pour the batter in the hot buttered cups up to the
brim. Push the pan back, close the oven door, and bake the popovers till
they rise well and are brown at the sides where they part from the
clips. Serve them hot, folded lightly in a napkin.
ONE-EGG WAFFLES
Mix one and one-half cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking powder,
one-quarter teaspoon of salt; add one and three-fourths cups of milk,
add the milk slowly; then one well-beaten egg and two tablespoons of
melted butter; drop by spoonfuls on a hot buttered waffle iron, putting
one tablespoon in each section of the iron. Bake and turn, browning both
sides carefully; remove from the iron; pile one on top of the other and
serve at once.
THREE-EGG WAFFLES
Mix two cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking-powder, one-half teaspoon
of salt, and sift these ingredients; add the yolks of three eggs beaten
and stirred into one and one-fourth cups of milk; then add one
tablespoon of melted butter and fold in the whites of the eggs. Bake and
serve as directed under One-Egg Waffles.
DOUGHNUTS
Mix two and one-half tablespoons of melted butter, one cup of granulated
sugar, two eggs, one cup of milk, one-half nutmeg grated, sifted flour
enough to make a batter as stiff as biscuit dough; add two teaspoons of
baking-powder and one teaspoon of salt to the sifted flour. Flour your
board well, roll dough out about half an inch thick, and cut into pieces
three inches long and one inch wide. Cut a slit about an inch long in
the centre of each strip and pull one end through this slit. Fry quickly
in hot Crisco. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of each doughnut.
FRENCH DOUGHNUTS
French doughnuts are much daintier than the ordinary ones, and are
easily made. Take one-half pint of water, one-half pint of milk, six
ounces of butter, one-half pound of flour, and six eggs. Heat the
butter, milk, and water, and when it boils remove from the fire and
stir in the flour, using a wooden spoon. When well mixed, stir in the
eggs, whipping each one in separately until you have a hard batter. Now
pour your dough into a pastry bag. This is an ordinary cheesec
