+. ~. GINGERBREAD. ..
One cup of butter, two cups of sugar.
we'll worked together; one cup Of
milk, three and two thirds cups Of
flour, a tablespoonful of ginger, two
eggs; use tin sheets, cool, and rubbed
with butter; place one tablespoonful OF
mixture on tin and spread as thin az
possible with -bladed knife; bake
in well but not overheated oven; cut
on the tins into any shape desired; re-
move at once from tins, and it will very
soon become crisp; keep in a dry place.
.a4 RICE WAFFLEs.
Beat three eggs very light, stir them
into one and half pints of flour; mix
with the flour one quart of milk and
then add one pint of boiled rice, with
tablespoonful OF butter stirred in
while the rice is hot. Add table
spoonful of good yeast and salt to your
taste.
MELTED BUTTER.
4 This beng the basis of many sauces,
its preparation is important. Put into
a small saucepan two ounces of soft,
fresh butter and large tablespoonful
of flour. Mix these well together,
while cold, with q wooden spoon, and
then add about half pint of cold wa
ter, nearly teaspoonful of salt and a
little white pepper. Set this over the
fire and stir it continually until nearly
boiling. The ingredients ought to be
perfectly blended; but the butter, from
bad quality or other cause, will fire..
quently float as oil on the surface.
This imperfection may be partially
remedied by adding very little cold
water, and then pouring the sauce
quickly from the saucepan into a basin
and back again several times. When
prepared for other sauces less. water
may be used if the favoring additions
are fluid, and rather more where these,
as in egg sauce. have thickening
tendency. Acids, when mixed will
melted butter, being apt to make il
"oil," must be well stirred in. Wher
a light colored sauce is required, milk
may be substituted for water in tht
melted butter. Z.
