A treat for the children can be made
in place Of the conventional pie or pud-
ding. Make crust, as ii for roly-roly
pudding or baking powder biscuit,
tusing, however, just as little baking
powder as will answer, and few eX-
periments will convince any cOnseien-
tious cook how little may successfully
fill the place OF tho much she is often
tempted to useI; roll this.dough about
MS thin as ii for pic crust, then cut in
small squares, heap berries or Pre-
serves OF any kind. after draining the
Juice from il, upon them, wet the edges,
and fold and press closely together, so
that there vii! be no waste ofjuice then

4 little lump OF butter on each ono, a
little water also in the pan, and scatter
some sugar over each little pudding,
when these are done, serve them warm
with Il not too rich pudding sauce, or
they may be eaten cold without sauce
