THE
jx^^aai^aa*
Recipes.
[The following nine good recipes are taken
from a copy-righted pamphlet issued by
Mr. Crozer, cf Mercer Co., N. J., who was
formerly largely engaged in the baking
business, preparing cooking extracts, etc.
We doubt not our readers w : ll find them
valuable.— Ed. American Agriculturist.]
Almond Cake. —Mix together until very
light, 1 lb. of sugar and J lb. of butter;
then add gradually 1 pintof white of eggs,
well beaten up; mix until light, and flavor
with extract of bitter almond; then add 11
lbs. of flour; mix it in carefully until
smooth, i'ut in a greased and papered pan;
bake in a moderately hot oven. If baked
in smaller cakes they need a hotter oven.
Ginjer Cake of the Very Best Kind. —
Gradually mix 1 quart of the best molasses
into 0 ounces of butter; flavor with extract
of ginger; add a scant J pint of water or
milk in which is dissolved 1 ounce of sal.
eratus, then add enough Hour to enable it
to be rolled out. Out in cakos, and bake '
in a hot oven. Too much flour will spoil :
it. By using only a little more than half
the flour, an excellent soft ginger cake can
be made.
Ginger Xuts. —To i of a pound of but- ;
teT mix 1 quart best molasses; add 2 eggs; ;
flavor with extract of ginger, and add 1* ,
ounces of saleratus dissolved in * pint of
water or milk ; then add abo it 3* pounds
of flour. After mixing, make them up in
to small balls; put on greased pans, flatten '
them -lightly, and bake in a moderate heat.
Spice Xuts. —Mix together 1 quart of '
the best molasses and J a pound of butter
or lard ; flavor with extract of e'ove, (ex- '
tract of ginger will improve it); then add i
i a pint of water in which is dissolved
ounces of saleratus; then add about 3$
pounds of flour. Make the dough up in :
small round balls, put on pans, flatten them j
slightly, and bake them in a moderate heat, i
Delicate Cake. —Mix I<l pounds of fine
white sugar and 1 pound of good solid but
ter until light; then beat up to a stiff froth
1 pint of white of eggs, add a few at a
time, and mix carefully; flavor with extract
of vanilla, and add If pounds of sifted
flour, and mix it through very carefully.
If made in small c-akes, bake in a hot oven
or stove. If made in one euke, a oooler
oven is re juired.
Jacksuu Snaps. —Mix together f pound
of butter or lard and f pound of brown
sugar; then add gradually 1 pint best mo
lasses; flavor with extract of pimento; a
little extract of clove or ginger will improve
it; add J of a pint of water or milk, and
enough flour to make it middling stiff.
Make the dough up in small lumps, put
them on greased pans, and press them very
flat; bake in a moderate oven or stove.
Domestic Cuke —Mix together 8 ounces
of sugar and 0 ounces of butter; add 2
eggs; mix, and flavor with extract of cin
namon : add f of a gill of water, in which
is dissolved fa teaspoonful of saleratus,
then sufficient flour to have it rolled out
and cut in cakes. Pan ciose, and bake in
a hot oven or stove. Too much flour will
spoil cither of these recipes.
Tea Cuke. —Mix together 1 pound of
sugar and J a pound of butter; add 2 eggs;
mix, and flavor with extract of celery, or
other articles to suit the taste; add fa pint
of milk in which is dissolved a teaspoonful
of saleratus, then flour until stiff enough
to roll out. Cut in small cakes, put on
gieased pans, a little distance apart, and
bake in a very hot oven or stove. Be care
ful not to get too much flour.
Spanish Biscuit. —Mix J a pound of
sugar and 6 ounces of butter together; add
3 eggs, and when well beaten add } of a
pint of milk or water in which is dissolved
i of au ounce of saleratus; work this well
in, and flavor with extract of lemon ; then
add 14 ounces of flour, work it in weil, and
drop the dough on greased pans, in small
lumps, a little distance apart, flat them
slightly, and bake in an oven hot euouurh
for bread.
Lemon Dir. —The best we have tasted
made by Mrs. 11. M. 8., Kings co., X. Y.' '
after the following recipe, and contributed
by her to the Agriculturist. Take two
lemons, four eggs, two spoonsful melted
butter,eightspoonsfulwhitesugar. Squeeze i
the juice of all the lemons, and crate the
riud of one. Stir together the yolks, su
gar, butter, juiec and rind. Cover a plate
with pastry, pour the mixture in, and bake
till the pastry is done. Then beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, stir into
it tour spoonsful of sugar, put it on the
pie, and 3. deljcate brown. This quan
tity makes two common sized pies.
Delicious Corn Bread— By tho same
Boii a teacup of rice. While scalding hot
mix it with a little less than a quart of
corn meal, four egge, well beaten, a table- I
spoonful of lard, a teaspoonful of soda a
little salt, and enough sour milk to make a
thin batter. Bake quick.
Evergreen Cones for Baskets, &c.
Pieces of pasteboard are cut of the right
shape to form a basket, when sowed togeth
er. A small wire, properly bent and sew
ed around the edge of each piece, holds k
in shape. 'I hen the more ornamental part
of the work as wreaths, rosettes, &c., are
made by sewing to the pasteboard small
whole cones of hemlock, acorns in their
cups, walnut shucks, &c., disposed to suit
the taste of the maker. The interstices
left, are filled with the scales of the pine
cones ; yellow pine are the neatest. These
are sewed on, lapping one over the other,
like shinglea upon a roof, thus hiding the
stitches. A very neat rosette is made by
cutting off th. bottom of a yellow pine
cone. The seen vessel® of the Tag Alder
are pretty lor trimming. '1 he scales and
other parts may be glued or cemented to
the pasteboard, but they look neater when
sewed. The separate parts when finished,
are joined, and the inside of the basket
lined with pink or other bright colored
silk, quilted in. Open seams left where
the edges of the pieces meet, may be cov
ered by a beading of allspice berries strung
on strong thread or fine wire. Similar
trimming is sewed around the edges of the
basket, and of the handle. Four large
uCuins inverted and glued to the boJttom,
term neat supports. I'ieture trauma, cau
also be made of the same materials, the
pasteboard being fastened to the woodwork;
or, the cones might be gb.n l directly upon
the wood. For stnh larger objects, larger
eones are appn l:.te. Those of the white
pine split length vise with a kni&g aad the
flat side laid down give variety.
Varuishiaff.; —When all is fastened, the
work is eavcrcd with varnish, made of an
ounce of gmn shellac, dissolved in a pint
c 4' alvhohol. Some give it two coats, ad
ding a little vermilion to the varnish for
the first coat, and a very little lampblack
for the second, to darken the shatlt. A
finishing coat of copal varnish gives addi
tional lustre-
