One at the dalights OF the old-4aahr
oned tea-table was the delicious ''teA
bread" baked Of wheaton -four and
>e9s and made in thin sheets like old
time shortcake. These cakes. with
shorteake and Johnny cake. are also ex-
,ellent breakfast breads. All such
cakes are baked in shallow pans and are
not over ~ or ~ inches thick when
baked.
The old-fashioned tea bread IL made
with buttsr the sixe Of IN egg beaten

butter and sugar into the -four; beat
out tho lumps and beat the batter till
it "blisters." and then "fold IN" the
beaten whites Of the eggs and bake the
cake in two shallow biscuit pans OF tin.
It will take about 20 minutes or less In
. quick oven. This II an excellent
bread to serve with coffee.
Johnny cake 10 made BY soaking

cups Of sour milk or buttermilk over

hot oven. This Is very delicious
though simple bread.
The term pancake as applied 70 our
American griddle il misnomer in sew
eral ways. The true cake baked in .
pan il thinner than griddle cake and
must be composed Of an entirely differ
ent batter to be success. The spe-
cial delicacy Of the pancake consists In
its wafer-like thinness. It IL made Of
one OF the most delicate batters known
to the cook. and requires the liberal
use OF eggs to keep It In form. II It
were thick enough 70 be baked on .
griddle these eggu would make 1t
tough, but because Of the delicacy OF
this batter and the more rapid baking
Of the pan they arc necessity. The
shortening necessary to = perfect grid
die cake IL omitted because IL it were
used in 20 thin cake ~ the pancake
it would not endure the process Of toss
Ing, but would break apart in the pan.
The pancake II made Of the best
wheaten pastry dour mixed with mdk
and eggs. Sift . pint Of pastry -four
and . heaping tablespoonful Of pow
dered sugar into IN earthen bowl. Add
. pint OF milk gradually. beating out

well-bcaten eggs. Beat this batter
vigorously with the large-sized patent
heater used for eggs. Bake the batter.

Dredge powdered sugar over each
pancake - It il baked. and roll It up,
slip II on hot plate. and fry another.
Serve the plateful with quarters OF
lemon. which are squeezed over th<m

try properly on griddle. II you wish
ieily pancakes omit the powdered
sugar and spread the cakes instead
with plum. currant. ounce or any
Jelly yos prefer. Roll them mp and
Rlaze them by dredging them with
powdered sugar and searing them each
In thrcs or four places with . red-hot
iron. A straight poker washed clcan
and heatod viii do the work admirably,

cially Mica with these pancakes.
A thicker GeTmA2 pancake may b
made By pouring I'll the batter OF THU
rule into . large sheet-ircn trying pan
and letting Il cook for three minute
ON one side. After this spread 1t with
preserved p'nesprle or ordinary rich
apple sauce, dredge 1t with sugar and
set IL in . hot oven 70 cook for ak min

universally known in French families
and always prepared ON Shfovc Tues

family to toas one mp for good luck. !
The process Of tossing. when. BY def
twist 1T tho wrist. the professional
cook turns HIN pancake or omelette
may well be omitted on ordinary occa'
sions and the cake turned with regu'
