2 eggs, well beaten. 1 table spoonful sugar. 1 teaspoonful salt.

2 cupfuls Graham flour. 1 cupful wheat flour. l 1/2 teaspoonfuls salt. 1 tablespoonful brown sugar.
2 cupfuls sour milk. 1 teaspoonful soda dissolved. 1 tablespoonful melted butter.
Beat hard. Fill hot gem-pans nearly full, and bake three quarters of an hour in a moderately hot oven. Makes one dozen.
1 pint Graham flour. 1 cupful wheat flour.
1 teaspoonful salt.
2 tablespoonfuls molasses.
1/2 tablespoonful butter or lard melted. 2 tablespoonfuls yeast. 1 2/3 cupfuls tepid water.
Mix well together, and set in a pretty warm place, covered, to rise over night. In the morning, dip into hot gem-pans (disturbing the batter as little as possible). Fill pans full. Bake in a hot oven for half an hour. Makes one dozen.
N. B. If the mixture seems sour in the morning, as it very likely will, dissolve one quarter of a teaspoonful of soda (or more) and mix into the batter.
