To make Rice Buns:

1. Put a quarter of a pound of ground rice into a basin, with half a teaspoonful of baking-powder.

2. Add a quarter of a pound of pounded loaf sugar and two ounces of butter, and mix all together with a wooden spoon.

3. Break in two eggs, and beat all lightly together.

N. B. - Be careful to see that the eggs are good before adding them to the mixture.

4. Take some small tins, or patty-pans, and grease them well with a piece of dripping or butter.

5. Fill these tins two-thirds full with the mixture.

N. B. - This quantity will make about eight or ten buns.

N. B. - If there are no small tins, the mixture could be put into a cake-tin, which should be previously greased inside.

7. After that time, turn the buns out of the tins and lean them against a plate, until they are cold.
