COOKING sHAD.,

miss r. A. c.. Washington
In reply to e. W.. Washing
ton, who inquired about cook
ing shad, this is my method
for boneless shad: the Shad is
steamed for six hours, the full
time is necessary if the larger
bones are to be dissolved. ]
used a heavy aluminium roast
er over a very low flame on top
of the stove. Since the water
must not touch the shad ]
raised the grid by placing an
inverted mufin tin set under
it. Place slices of lemon in
and on top of the fish, and, OF
course, salt it. Then wrap
the fish securely in heavy
aluminium foil. double-folding
the edges, pour boiling water
into the roaSter, enough. to
reach nearly to the level Of the
grid, and lay the wrapped fish
on the grid and place the cover
on the roaSter. Replenish the
water as necessary. l found
that wrapping the fish in foil
prevented the loss Of flavor
which resulted when ! steamed
the shad unwrapped. Also !
found that five hours cooking
left the larger bones undiS-
solved, though crumbly. With
this method there is. of course.
no need of our opportunity for
basting. With due care, the
shad can be removed to a plat
ter without breaking and there
is not a trace of bone. have
no steamer, but ! should sup
pose that a steamer of the
right shape would be more con-
venient to use than my rOaSter,
Also, do not see why the
Steaming could not be done
in a slow oven, if preferred.

POUND CAKE
Mrs. F. D., ArlingtOn)

1uIOs NsB ar GGhSLOGtI
For Mrs. M. c. N, Bethesda.
The following recipe is a copy
taken from a February. 1858.
issue of a magazine put out by
q leading chain store.
Pound Cake: 1l2 cups un-
sifted all purpose flour mot
self rising). "a teaspoon soda,
112 cups sugar, / cup butter
minus tablespoon (use the
tablespoon of butter for greas-
ing PAM, 112 teaspoons lemon
juice, 112 teaspoons vanilla,
5 large eggs separated. ls tea
spoon salt (if salted butter is
used, otherwise "a teaspoon), /
teaspoon cream of tartar.
Prepare pan as follows:
grease with / tablespoon soft
ened butter and dust with
flour. turn pan until it is thor
oughly coated with flour, then
turn upside down and tap
gently to remove excess flour.
Now for the cake, Sift flour,
soda, and half the sugar in
bowl. Sift once. Add butter
Softened to room temperature
but not melted or runny: You
must use pure butter for this
cake if the proper flavor is to
result. Mix the ingredients
with the fingers until well
blended. Add f1avoring and egg
yolks, one at a time, working
them into whole mixture until
we'll mixed. Now beat egg
whites which have been left at
room temperature for an hour
with salt. do not beat too stiff.
The whites should be moist
and glistening and just hold
q peak when lifted with back
of spoon. Add remaining sugar
gradually, beat thoroughly aft
er each addition, then add the
cream of tartar. This should
be folded gently into the egg
whites and not beaten hard.
Pour beaten whites at once
over first mixture and with
fingers mix gently, lifting and
folding until whites are COM
pletely folded in. Spoon batter
into prepared pan and even it
with back of spoon. Set pan
down on table with rather a
hard thud, this removes air
bubbles and helps to achieve
a finer cake. Place pan on
middle rack of a preheated
oven 325 degrees. Bake for one
hour not opening oven door.
Test to bottom of cake, if no
crumbs cling to tester, turn OF
oven and close oven door, let
remain in oven 10 or Is min
utes longer or until it shrinks
from sides of pan and finger
pressure on cake surface does
not leave an indentation.
If cake crumbs or batter
stick to tester bake in oven 10
or Is minutes longer. When
cake is done be sure to leave
in oven with heat turned of
for 10 or Is minutes. Let sit
in pan another 10 minutes.
Turn out on cake rack, cover
ed with paper.
This can be baked in a fun
mel cake pan or bread pan.
Using the hands to mix bat
ter is the secret of a good
pound cake.
