Tried and Found Good.

I send a few recipes which l have tried and found good:
 Best Ever Cake-Put into the mixing bowl one cup of flour, one cup of sugar. . pinch of salt. and a level teaspoon of baking powder. Mix well together, dry. Melt in a measuring cup butter or lard the size of an English walnut: break into this an egg. without beating it; fill the cup with sweet milk, pour upon the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. and beat all together hard for minute. Flavor to suit the taste and bake in hot oven.
 Cheese Cake-Soften half pound of cottage cheese with milk; add to 1t two tablespoons of melted butter and three or four eggs. Mix well and sweeten; flavor with vanilla or lemon to taste Add milk until the mixture is thinner than griddle cake batter. Use baking pan about an inch and q half deep, lining this with good pie crust Put in the cheese mixture. sprinkle with nutmeg, and place bits of butter all around the edge These will melt and form delicious brown top
 !" Clabber Cake is made of clabber from which the whey has been drained. The necessary ingredients are a pound of -four, half pound of butter, fourteen ounces of sugar, and three eggs. When these have been mixed together. stir in enc and half cups of clabber and just
