Ans. The recipe will make about
sixteen medium sized mullins. Have
the pans CREASED and Toured before
you start Arrange to have the
oven hot when you will be ready to
put the mullins in.
A good muffin mixture Is a drop
batter. Milk is more desirable
liquid than water, but half water
and half milk is a good substitute.
Sometimes as much as q cup and
half of liquid has to be added to
two cups of -four to make drop
batter. No exact quantities of liquid
can be given. as hours differ widely
and judgment must be exercised. In
general, IL batter drops easily
from the spoon, as does whipped
cream, it is just right.
But suppose you decide to make
crullers. Add a teaspeonful Of graf
ed nutmeg to the dry ingredients
when you are mixing them together.
Add only enough liquid to make
soft dough. Half a cup may be
enough. Pat the dough out to the
thickness of one-fourth inch. Cut
out and fry in hot deep fat. Drain
the crullers for a moment and then
toss into powdered sugar to which
has been added a suspicion of Gin
namon.
Perhaps you would like an old
fashioned berry pudding. Grease
one large or several small baking
dishes. Make up the muffin mix
ture. Put in few spoonfuls Of
batter, then a layer of sweetened
berries, then a layer of batter. Bake
