"Mrs. NJ. D. c." sends the following, which
she highly recommends to housekeepers as a
nice dish for dinner: Pare and slice nice tart
apples to fill pie-tin two-thirds full, put in a
little water; beat one egg well, add to it one
pint Of sour cream, also one small teaspOonful
each of soda and salt; add flour until it is as
stiff as you can stir conveniently, spread the
dough over the apples and bake. When done,
| turn the bottom side up on a plate, spread the
| apples with butter and cover well with sugar,
return to the oven few minutes. To be eaten
with milk or cream.
To Make o Nice, Quick Cale-Talle one cup
of sour milk, one cup of sugar, half cup of
butter, one egg one cup of raisins (stoned and
chopped) one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
q little hot water, one teaspOonful of spices,
! and two cups and half of flour. This should
be eaten while fresh, but if it is not, after two
or three days beat the white of an egg to %
| froth and add sugar enough to make frosting
for the top of the cake.
To Make Lemon Sponge-Put one ounce of
| gcatine into one pint of cold water, let it stand
J
! the rind of two lemons thinly pared, three
/ quarters of pound of lump sugar, and the
! Juice of three lemons; boil all together two
minutes, strain it, and let it remain till nearly
| cold, then add the white of two eggs well beaten
and whisk it well ten minutes; put it lightly
! into glass dish.
| To Make Welsh Rarebit.-Take half pound
of cheese, three eggs, one small cup of bread
crumbs, two tablespoonful of melted butter
mustard and salt to taste. After beating the
| eggs in an earthen dish add the other ingrcdi-
ents, then spread on the top of slices of bread
toasted or not, as you choose, and set in the
oven to melt.
| To Make Beef Tca.-The Boston Journal of
! Chemistry gives the following directions: One
ounce of beef to six tabespoonfuls of water is
q fair proportion for q good article. Cut the
meat into dice, put it into stewpan and add
the water cold; let it stand ten minutes, then
put it to heat very gradually.
To Make a Serviceable Filling for Pin
Cushions-Take coffee grounds, which must be
dried perfectly before using. Put them in bag
and hang behind the kitchen stove till you have
enough that are dry to fill the cushion. They
do not gather moisture, and consequently do
not rust the needle.
To Make a Delicious Pear Pio-Take late
pears; make a thin, rich crust-by rich I do
not mean greasy; slice the pears, sprinkle
sugar over them, and put in few small Jumps
of butter; add, if you please, q very little Gin
namOn mace. Bake with amupper crust.
To Fry Hominy-Take boiled hominy; add
piece of butter little pepper and salt, cup
Of cream, and -four or white Indian meal
enough to stifen it; stir this up; make it up
into small cakes; fry in butter on griddle.
To Keep a Broom-Dip your broom in clean,
hot suds once week, then shake it till it is
almost dry, and then hang it up or stand it
with the handle down. 1t will last twice as
long as it will without this operation.
Cabbage.-It should be boiled two hours 1t
is very nice also, after it is boiled, chopped
very fine and fried in little butter. When
done, add little vinegar and stir it up.
