Porm these ingi'edients into a paste with a little water, roll this out to the thickiaess of half an inch, then cut it into pieces about tliree inches long and one inch wide. Bake these until they are lightly browned, and serve t,hem as hot as possible. Tune, altogether, about half an hour. Probable cost, 8d. for this quantity. SuiHcient for four persons. Cheese, Cheshire, Imitation.— Put the mill: fresh from the cow, and without skim- ming it, into a tub, with as much rennet as will turn it bc'fore it has had time to get quite cold.
