354. Water Toast

Toast some slices of bread, pound the crust to soften it, butter it well on both sides: have a vessel of boiling water with a little salt in it. On each slice of bread put one table spoonful of the boiling water. Serve it hot.

355. Milk Toast

Slice some bread, toast it of a nice light brown on both sides. Boil a pint of milk; mix together two tea spoonsful of flour in a little cold water; stir this into the boiling milk. Let it boil about one minute, then add a little salt and stir into it two ounces of butter. Dip the toast in the milk, place it on a dish, and pour the remainder of the milk over it.

The toast may be made much richer by increasing the quantity of butter.
