Breakfast Puffs without Eggs

2 cups ( 1/2 lb.) flour or Graham flour

1 cup (1/2 pt.) cold water

1 cup (1/2 pt.) milk

Sift flour into a bowl and gradually add water and milk and beat together ten minutes with egg beater; divide into well-greased gem pans and bake in moderate oven fifteen to twenty minutes.

Stale puffs or rolls hollowed out, heated, and filled with creamed left-over meat, fish, or chicken make a very good dish for breakfast or luncheon.
