neal, and cave the other very pale; when
it is nearly cold, drain and wipe the orange
rinds, and fill them with alternate stripes Of

against the sides, pour in one quart of milk
and water, and mix into it flour enough To
form q thin batter then quickly and lightly
add one pint of milk, in which is dissolved
one ounce of salt and one and three-fourths

pan cover the pan with a cloth and SGT it in
a place free from draught for ~three-quarters
of an hour then mix in the rest of the flour
until the dough will leave the bottom and
sides of the pan, and let it stand two hours
and a half. Finally, divide the mass into
one-pound pieces to be cut in turn into
twelve parts each. This gives square pieces
