Soak two cupfuls of dry crumbs for an hour in a quart of milk. Beat in, then, a tablespoonful of melted butter, three well-whipped eggs, a teaspoonful of salt, and a tablespoonful of molasses. Mix thoroughly, and stir in lightly and swiftly half a cupful of flour, with which has been twice sifted half a teaspoonful of Cleveland's Baking Powder.

These cakes are good and wholesome, especially when baked upon a soapstone griddle.
