SWEET POTATO ROLL;
WHOLE WHEAT CAKE.
From w. r. B., Washington.)
There was a request recently for
q sweet potato roll recipe. My pro-
cedure is only slight variation
from the dinner roll recipe, but we
think this bread Is pretty special.
Dissolve one yeast cake in q little
lukewarm water. Scald 2 cups Of
milk and while hot add 2 or 8 table
spoons of shortening. Cool to luke
warm and add to yeast. Then stir
in about l cup Of sieved, cooked
sweet potato and an egg. Add l
tablespoon Of salt and enough flour
to make a soft dough. Raise As
usual. Roll the dough and cut in
rounds for Parker House rolls.
There is also request for cake
recipes using whole wheat -four. We
have always enjoyed many types of
bread made with this flour, but only
recently experimental with it for
pastry. It's a taste revelation that
I can highly recommend. Not hav-
ing tried it in cakes, can only offer
the following recipe for spice cake
which found in a collection:
One-half cup shortening, 70 cup
brown sugar, "a cup corn strip, 2
unbeaten eggs, l cup whole wheat
flour, ! cup white flour, IL tea
spoons baking powder, u teaspoon
soda, teaspoon salt, u teaspoon
cinnamon, u teaspoon nutmeg al
cut grated apple and "a cup chopped
nuts If desired. Bake in loaf or
muf1in pans and ice with fluffy white
icing. Serve warm.

prayer for a small child, I suggest
the old hymn:

Keep me safe till morning light.
IAN this DAY Thy Hand hath led me.
Thou hast warmed me, clothed and fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer"

APPLE PIE RECIPE?
from Mrs. c. E. R., Arlington)
Some time ago lady requested a
recipe for sweet potato rolls"
Down South, our old cook used to
make these and they were, beyond q
doubt, the most wonderful melt-in-
your-mouth rolls, crisp on the out
side and of a fluffy breadlike tex
ture inside and had no parallel along
the bread line. This cook has never
used recipe, so cannot write me
the exact amount of her ingredients.
AS intend to 60 South for q visit
in . few weeks, however, I hope to
watch her make these delicious rolls
and note her approximate measure
ments. I promise to send in the d.
rection then, provided no other
recipes have been received in the
meantime.
I am interested in securing q good
