DISHES Of WINTER
NOW ARE IN ORDER
First of Seasons Pumpkins
Make Appearance in
Market.

The frost is on the pumpkin. the
sausage's in the market, and the buck
wheats in the mill. In other words. the
time has come for what a number of
people consider the queen Of all griddle
cakes. And buckwheat cakes are good
when they are properly made and prop
erly baked. Il seems a simple enough
thing TO do to bake cakes on a griddle.
but try it some day, you who are I'M
initiated. and see how 1t works out.
Once upon a time knew an egotistical
young person who thought that she
could perform this simple feat without
trouble. 1t was on one of those ocea-
siOns when the cook had left without
lingering adieus, and there was no time
20 take a course in the culinary art.
Well. the egotistical young person put
the griddIe on very hot fire and left
# there while she made the coffee and
prepared certain other things. Finally
when all else was ready she began to
bake the cakes. She put six on the hot.
hot baker, and lOl in one minute they
were burned black on the outside. while
the inside was raw.
Now, there were three hungry men
in the diningroom waiting for their
getting that griddle 10 the temperature
proper TO give the cakes a beautiful
brown shade and bake them nicely
through and through all the batter was
used UP and there was nothing left for
the hungry men but some cold bread.
This little incident so took the conceit
out OF the heroine of this story that she
went at once to a cooking school and
learned how 10 cook, which included
learning how TO bake cakes on top or
The stove.
For Buckwheat Cakes.
a good recipe for buckwheat cakes is
the following: One cup of milk and the
same Of boiling water; two tablespoon
fuls Of molasses; half cake Of COM
pressed yeast dissolved in warm water;
One-half teaspoonful Of salt; two cups
buclxwheat flour. or enough for a good
batter. Beat five minutes, and set in a
warm place to rise. In the morning
beat hard for one minute; If it be sour.
add a little soda. and let It rise near
the fire for half an hour before baking.
There is nothing nicer for breakfast
on a cold morning than rice cakes. To
make these scald one pint Of milk and
let stand until cold. Then add one-halt
cake Of compressed yeast, one teaspoon
full Of salt, one cup of boiled rice, and
about one and one-half cups Of flour
Beat continuously for three minutes
Cover and let stand in warm places TIL
morning. In the morning beat two
eggs separately until they are very
light Add first the yolks and then the
whites. Mix thoroughly and let stand
fifteen minutes and then bake on a hot
griddle.
Stale bread griddle cakes are deli
Cious. and have the added merits Of be
ing exceedingly digestible and of using
UP stale bread which otherwise might
have to be thrown out
