Make a crust of flour and suet, taking care to free the suet from ail shreds of skin and fleshy matter; chop it as fine aspossi hie, and rub it well into tbe flour, in the proportion of a quarter of a pound, or five or six ounces'of suet, according to the quality desired, to every pound of flour. Work it with water to a smooth paste, roll it out to about the thickness of half an inch, spread the molasses over it equally, leaving a small margin all the way round. Roll the pudding up, closing the ends se curely, and tie it up in a clean floured cloth, plunge into boiling water, and boil for two hours. A quarter of a pound of molasses, and one pound of suet-crust makes a good light pudding. Using lard, instead of suet, the pud ding may be baked for a change; it must be in the oven from an hour and a half to two hours. Rice Cakes. — Ifavo ready nine fresh eggs, half a pouu 1 of ground rice, half a pound of flour, half a pound of pound ed loaf sugar, the rind of one lemon, a little orange flower water, and some caraway seeds.

Grate in the peei of a lemon, and beat the baiter until the beating has gone on for an hour from the time of first beating up the eggs. This time it may be increased, but it must not be short ened, and the batter must be immedi ately divided into little cakes, and placed in the oven. German Cakes. —Beat up four eggs, beat into them half a pound of butter melted until it becomes liquid, a pint and a half of warm milk, and a teacup ful of yeast Stir in as much flour as will make tho mixture stiff, then tie it closely in a cloth, put it into a pail of water, and leave it there until it ri ses to the top.
