Yolks of 2 eggs, ¼ teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon of sugar.
Beat the above well and add nearly a pt. of milk. 2 heaping teaspoons of baking powder in enough flour to make a medium batter. Butter size of a walnut, melted, pour this into batter and mold in whites of eggs well beaten. This batter thinned with milk for waffles, thickened with flour for muffins. - Mrs. C. H. Tanton.
Beat 1 egg with a heaping tablespoon sugar and a level teaspoon salt, add 1 cup sour milk into which has been stirred one level teaspoon soda, one rounded tablespoon butter, which has been softened so as to blend well. Mix 2 cups bran with one of flour. Add sufficient amount to make rather a stiff batter. Bake on an alluminum griddle without greasing and turn with spatula. To test heat of griddle, drop some batter on it, if it makes a gentle hissing sound it is hot enough and the heat should be instantly turned at least two-thirds off. Serve with syrup made of 1 cup sugar C. and one cup of granulated sugar. - Mrs. Chas. E. Hull.
