used as it will vary with it's richness.
The following is a doughnut recipe
which has been worked out and tested
and found to be the 'best ever" If
the directions are carefully followed
the cakes will be rich without soaking,
fender and very moist. This kind will
keep without drying out.
Best-Ever Doughnuts.-Beat two
eggs in an aluminium bowl, add one
and two-thirds cupfuls of sugar and
beat until the sugar is well dissolved,
then add a half teaspoonful of salt
and one ard one-fourth cupfuls of thick
sour milk with a teaspoonful of soda
well dissolved in it; then one-fourth
cupful of rich thick sour cream, SO
thick that a spoon when dipped into 1t
will stay well heaped with the cream.
Powdered mace or grated nutmeg
makes the best flavor. Vanilla never
seems to be an appropriate flavor for
doughnuts, and never if you must use
vanilla, use the substitute commonly
called vanillin; it spoils the flavor of
any food. Now the aluminium dish is
set directly on the ice after just enough
flour has been added to make a thick
mixture that will still stir with the
spoon. The secret of moist, tender and
altogether delicious doughnuts is to
cut them as moist as possible. The
chilling process makes them easy to
handle with no more flour. Work
quickly, have the fat just right and
carry the cakes to the fat on broad
knife, so they will not lose their
shape; being soft they are hard to
handle This makes three dozen dough-
nuts cut in the usual size
Sour Cream Dressing for Salads
Add tablespoonful of any good salad
dressing to cupful of thick sour
cream, mix until well blended, add
such seasonings as onion juice, red pep
per or any chopped green pepper and
onion with bit of fresh red pepper.
With this as foundation one may
vary it to suit any salad For cucum-
bers add bit of vinegar; also for
chopped or shredded cabbage.
Sour Cream Cake Filling.-Cook to-
gether one cupful each Of sour cream
and brown sugar; when thick. add QUE
cupful OF hickory nut meats and beat
until stiff. enough to spread on the
cake. Add any favoring desired;
maple is especially good with this NIL
