/ FRIED CAKEs.-Take quart bowl
and break into it three eggs; add a
/ heaping cupful of sugar, and heat thor
oughly; add sufficient cream TO fill the
/ bowl; if the cream is thick, add one
cupful of sour milk, or buttermilk, which
4 is better; two teaspoonfuls of soda, and
a little nntmeg and salt. Mix hard
enough to roll and fry quickly Sprinkle
a very little salt over every one imme-
diately after dropping in the lard; this
destroys the greasy taste. These cakes
if properly made, are very nice and
tender, and what we always make il
our own home.
