The doughnuts when dropped into
the fat should Immediately rise to
the surface. They should be turned
several times during the frying proc
ess. When properly Drowned on all
sides they are done They should
never come in contact with each
other IN frying, as steam will be
created at the point of contact and
this will cause the crust to break.
They should always be drained on
brown paper before serving, and
never placed one on top of the other.
We unreservedly recommend this
recipe and flour for doughnuts. but
great care must always be taken in
the frying of them, or recipe and
flour may do their best in vain.

point in breakfast preparation. One
cupful OF cereal, which weighs about
three and one-half ounces, is poured
very slowly into two cupsful of
boiling salted water. The water
must be kept Jumping" boiling

for cooking, and the constant mo-

necessity of stirring. This keeps the
cereal in good condition and helps
1t to retain its original haky shape,
This amount weighed one pound
after being cooked, and we esti-
mated that it would serve four per-
sons, giving each four ounces. This
makes the cereal cost about three
quarters of cent, and for the
price it is a most wholesome and de-

wall of the bottle was at boiling
(sterilizing) temperature. The ster-
ilization should be continued for 5
minutes longer, making a total of 9
to 10 minutes for the entire steri-

In 5 minutes "a pint Of water had
evaporated, so the time can be
safely extended to 10 minutes, but
the water must not be allowed to

Also remember that when vapor be-

placed in it, and the cap put on.

The temperature Of the milk
