MAPLE SUGAR PRALINES.

We are the luckicst nation the sun shines
on. Think Of il. We are urged TO eat
maple To prove our patriotism. Not much
urging needed on sugarless day, when
maple is the substitute offered.
Maple wax and fudge and talfy please
the children: and that you say gravely,
is why YOU always make little OF it when
the fresh sugar is available. 1t would not
do to say right out that you like it better
than the liddies do, and n season without
taste of these sweets would be as bad
rs a year without the Fourth OF July or
Christmas The love for maple sweets Is
an American taste to he proud Of.
One delicacy that you will surely praise
is maple sugar biscuits. Make u rich
baking-powdcr dough and roll it out to
one-fourth of an inch in thickness. Spread
this with warmed butter. and sprinkle
with maple sugar that has heen crushed
or chopped fine Turn half the dough
upon the other half, so it will be hall an
inch thick Spread butter and sugar over
the top Cut out the biscuits and bake as
usual.
Maple Rings cookies)-Cream one
hall cup of butter with one-half cup oi
sugar-vou can use light brown sugar
and half r cup of chopped maple sugar
Add two eggs, one tablespoon OF water.
two and a half cups of -four and baking
powder in proportion. More flour may
be needed TO make dough heavy enough
to roll out. Finish rs with any cookies
If you use maple syrup IN place OF The
sugar omit the water and use cup OF
uranulated or brown sugar IN place OF the
half cup.
Maple praIines are made with almonds
blanched and chopped fine. Use one
pound of maple sugar, one cup oi water.
and when this boils and threads from n
spoon. add the nuts. Pour onto creased
platter and cut in squares when cool.
Other goodies YOU must not forget arc
Maple c,lstard, made with milk and corn
starch, and often called Floating Island;
maple sauce, which is only thin maple
syrup with hot cream added: and maple
icing this last is made with the sugar or
the syrup, and is the incest filling and
frosting one can make for silver or other
white cake. Use onc-half pound Of sugar
dissolved IN cup of water or pint and q
half Of heavy maple syrup. Boil until It
begins To thicken. then add n cup Of rich
cream and boil gently until the mixture
does not separate when tested inscold
water. Let il stand until almost cool. then
beat until creamy. Spread on cakes A.
once. This will get firm quickly. but will
never become brittle or break from the
edges Of the cake
