Oatmeal Griddle Cakes. (No Eggs Or Milk.)

2 cups flour.

2 teaspoonfuls baking pow-der. 1 teaspoonful salt.

2 cups cold boiled oatmeal. 2 tablespoonfuls molasses. 2 1/2 cups water (more or less).

The three first ingredients must be mixed together thoroughly before adding anything else. In putting in the water, which must come last, be sure you do not get in too much (the batter should be thick). Try a little of the batter before making the cakes. If too thick, add water; if too thin, add Hour. Do not have the griddle too hot. For a family of six.

Graham Griddle Cakes. (No Eggs Or Milk.)

1/2 cups Graham flour. 1 1/2 cups wheat flour. 1/2 teaspoonful salt.

1 tablespoonful molasses.

1 quart tepid water.

1/2 cupful yeast (shaken).

Set to rise over night. Before breakfast add half a teaspoonful soda (dissolved in a little warm water). For a family of six.

Bread Griddle Cakes

Pour over stale pieces of bread boiling water enough to rather more than cover them. Cover close and soak about one hour. When soft, drain off every drop of water, squeeze dry, and mash through a colander. (If still very moist, set in the heater awhile.)

Then take 3 cupfuls soaked crumbs. 1/2 teaspoonful salt. 1 egg beaten light.

1 cupful milk.

1 heaping cupful flour.

1/2 teaspoonful soda, dissolved.

Beat well together and fry. If you find you cannot turn the cakes without breaking them, add a little more Hour. (Another egg is an improvement.) One tablespoon ful molasses may be added. It makes the cakes brown nicely.

Buttermilk Griddle Cakes

1 quart buttermilk (or sour milk).

2teaspoonfuls salt, nearly.

Flour to make a medium batter. 2 teaspoonfuls soda, dissolved.

Mix in order, beat hard, and do not put in the soda till just before frying the cakes. Improved by the addition of one egg.

For a family of six.

Hominy Griddle Cakes

Make like Buttermilk Griddle Cakes, with the addition of one cupful cold boiled hominy (finest kind). Use a little less flour.

Another With Eggs

1 pint boiled hominy (fine kind).

1teaspoonful salt.

2or 3 eggs beaten light. 2 cups flour.

l 1/2 cupfuls milk (more or less). 1 dessert spoonful melted butter. 1/4 teaspoonful soda dissolved.

The hominy must not be hot when the eggs are put in. Use milk enough to make a batter just stiff enough to support a drop. The butter may be omitted if you use three eggs.

Rice Griddle Cakes. Like the last receipt, substituting rice for hominy. Another without Eggs.

1 cupful cold boiled rice. 1 quart sweet or sour milk. 1 teaspoonful salt.

1/3 cupful melted butter.

1 cupful flour.

1 teaspoonful soda dissolved.

Soak the rice in the milk a little while. Mix in order. Beat hard. Test the batter before frying the cakes. If they break add more flour.

Very delicate and nice.
