and
set it before a good fire covered with a cloth. Let it stand half an
hour, then work it up with a little more flour, and let it stand half an
hour longer. Then take it out of the basin, and make it up on a board
into small round or square biscuits, place them upon sheets of white
iron, and set them before the fire, covered with a cloth, till they
rise, which will be in half an hour. Put them into the oven, just when
the bread is taken out; shut the oven till the biscuits turn brown on
the top; then take them out, and cut them through.

_Rusks, and Tops and Bottoms._

Well mix two pounds of sugar, dried and sifted, with twelve pounds of
flour, also well dried and sifted. Beat up eighteen eggs, leaving out
eight whites, very light, with half a pint of new yest, and put it into
the flour. Melt two pounds of butter in three pints of new milk, and wet
the paste with it to your liking. Make it up in little cakes; lay them
one on another; when baked, separate them, and return them to the oven
to harden.

_Sally Lunn._

To two pounds of fine flour put about two table-spoonfuls of fresh yest,
mixed with a pint of new milk made warm. Add the yolks of three eggs,
well beat up. Rub into the flour about a quarter of a pound of butter,
with salt to your taste; put it to the fire to rise, as you do bread.
Make it into a cake, and put it on a tin over a chaffing-dish of slow
coals, or on a hot hearth, till you see it rise; then put it into a
quick oven, and, when the upper side is well baked, turn it. When done,
rasp it all over and butter it; the top will take a pound of butter.

_Slip-Cote._

A piece of runnet, the size of half-a-crown, put into a table-spoonful
of boiling water over-night, and strained into a quart of new milk,
lukewarm, an hour before it is eaten.

_Souffle._

Two table-spoonfuls of ground rice, half a pint of milk or cream, and
the rind of a lemon, pared very thin, sugar, and a bay-leaf, to be
stewed together for ten minutes; take out the peel, and let it stand
till cold; then add the yolks of four eggs, which have been well beaten,
with sifted sugar; the four whites to be beaten separately to a fine
froth, and added to the above, which must be gently stirred all
together, put into a tin mould, and baked in a quick oven for twenty
minutes.

_Another way._

Make a raised pie of any size you think proper. Take some milk, a
bay-leaf, a little cinnamon, sugar, and coriander seeds; boil it t
