Many kinds of cookies can be made with sour milk. Here is the recipe for
a good sort: Cream half a cup of butter with a cup of sugar and add a
cup of sour milk in which three-quarters of a teaspoon of soda has been
dissolved, and two cups or a little more of flour, sifted with half a
teaspoon of cloves, half a teaspoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of salt.
Chill the dough before cutting the cookies. It must be rolled thin.

Corn bread can be made with sour milk in this way: Sift a cup of
cornmeal with half a cup of flour, half a teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon
of shortening (clear chicken fat that has been fried out is a good
kind), and then add a cupful of sour milk and a beaten egg. Lastly, add
half a teaspoon of soda. It is well to add the soda last, where a light
mixture is desired, as it begins to give off carbon dioxide, the gas
that makes the dough rise, as soon as it is moist and comes in contact
with the acid of the sour milk.

Graham bread made with sour milk in this way is delicious: Sift together
a cup and a half of graham flour and one of white. Add a cup of broken
nut meats and a teaspoon of salt. Then stir in half a cup of milk and a
cup and a half of sour milk, and, lastly, add a teaspoon of soda. The
soda may be sifted into a little of the white flour and added last, if
adding it with the flour is easier.
