No. 151.] 447 



Take 1 egg well beaten, a half pint of thick cream, Indian meal 

 sufficient to form a thick batter, a small quantity of salt; add half a 

 teaspoonful of saleeratus dissolved in a small quantity of water; after 

 mixing thoroughly, put it into the pans or oven, and bake immedi- 

 ately. — Amer. Agriculturist. 



Excellent Hommony Bread. 



Break two eggs into a bowl and beat them from five to ten min- 

 utes. Add by continually stirring, a salt-spoon of table salt, 4 or 5 

 tablespoonfuls of hot hommony jeduced nearly to the consistency of 

 thick gruel, with hot milk, 1 large spoonful of butter, and a pint of 

 scalded Indian meal squeezed dry. Make up the mixture into small 

 loaves or round cakes, 1| inches thick, and bake in a brisk oven.

Epicure's Corn Bread. 



Upon 2 quarts of sifted corn meal, pour just enough boiling wa- 

 ter to scald it thoroughly; if too much water is used it will be heavy. 

 Stir it thoroughly, and let it get cold; then rub in a piece of butter 

 as large as a hen's egg, together with 2 teaspoonfuls of fine salt; 

 beat 4 eggs thoroughly, which will be all the better if the whites 

 and yolks are beaten separately, and add them to the meal and mix 

 thoroughly. Next, add a pint of sour cream, butter-milk, or sour- 

 milk (which stand in the order of their value). Dissolve 2 teaspoon- 

 fuls of salaeratus in hot water and stir it in. Put it in buttered pans 

 and bake it. 



In winter it may be mixed over night, and in that case, the eggs 

 and salaeratus should not be put in until morning. When ready for 

 the oven, the mixture ought to be about as thin as good mush, if not, 

 more cream should be added. 



If you are not an epicure already, you will be in danger of be- 

 coming one, if you eat much of this corn cake, provided it is well 

 made. — Beecher's Western Farmer's and Gardener's Almanac. 



Hoosicr Biscuit. 



Add a teaspoonful of salt to a pint of new milk, warm from the 

 cow. Stir in flour until it becomes a stiff batter, add 2 great spoon- 

 fuls of lively brewer's yeast; put it in a warm place and let it rise 

 as much as it will. When well raised, stir in a teaspoonful of sa- 

 laeratus dissolved in hot water. Beat up 3 eggs, (2 -will answer,)
