To Boil Hominy: A half-pint of
large hominy is sufficient for family
of average size. 1t swells to four times
its original bulk. Put it on the fire in
plenty of cold water as soon after
breakfast as possible. in order to allow
it plenty of time to become thoroughly
cooked before dinner. When the water
dries out, add more, but let it be hot.
Four hours at least are required for the
grains to become thoroughly softened
and done, when it is a most wholesome
and palatable article of food. When
ready to be dished for dinner, add
teaspoonful of butter, and mix it in
thoroughly. Harper's Bazaar.
AS in different recipes the quanti-
ties given are sometimes in measures
such as quarts instead of pounds, and
sometimes in winegiasses, tumblerfuls,
etc, the following table will be found
useful if pasted on the fyleaf of the
recipe-book you generally use: A COM
mon-sized tumbler holds half pint. A
common-sized wineglass holds half
gill. A quart of sifted -four equals one
pound. A quart of cornmeal equals
one pound two ounces One quart but
ter is equivalent to two pounds, one
quart powdered sugar to one pound
seven ounces, one quart granulated
sugar to one pound nine ounces. Butter
'the size of an egg" about two ounces
