gether, cut in the shortening with two 

 knives unrl add milk enough to make a soft 

 dough. Pat rather than roll into individual 

 biscuits. Make them rather thick as the 

 substitute flours do not rise as high as wheat 

 flour. Bake in a moderate oven, split, but- 

 ter, and pour over any sweetened fruit in 

 season. All barley flour may be used or corn 

 flour may be substituted for the rice flour. 



STEAMED BROWN BREAD. 



1 cup barley flour 2/3 cup honey 



1 cup cornmeal 1 cup water 



1 cup rolled oats % cup sour milk 



1 teaspoon salt 1 cup raisins or nuts if 

 1 V2 teaspoons soda desired. 



Measure the barley flour before sifting, 

 add the soda and salt and sift and then mix 

 with rolled oats and cornmeal. Combine the 

 honey, water, and sour milk, stir in the dry 

 ingredients, add the raisins which have been 

 steamed until tender, pour into a mold and 

 steam three hours. It may be steamed in 

 three one-pound baking-powder cans. 



ROLLED OATS PIECRUST. 



2 cups rolled oats 1 teaspoon salt 



3 teaspoons shortening 1 cup boiling water 

 Pour the boiling water over the salt, the 



rolled oats, and the shortening, stirring just 

 enough to make sure all the oats have been 

 scalded. When cool roll out as ordinary pie- 

 crust. It is easier to make it into individual 

 pies. A little cream brushed over the top 

 crust is a great improvement. If the oats 

 are first put through an ordinary food chop- 

 per, the crust is easier to handle. 



BARLEY FLOUR CAKE.

• ASSETS OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS 



2 % cups barley flour

 der

 Spice or flavor to taste

 ey, add the flour, in which the dry ingredi- 

 ents have been sifted, a little at a time al- 

 ternating with the sour milk. Use spice or 

 flavor to taste. Eaisins or nuts may be add- 

 ed. Bake in a shallow pan about 45 minutes. 

 As barley flour varies in absorbing power a 

 little more or less may be needed.
