Dip a small paint brush into ttielted suet, brush the iron until every part is well but lightly greased ; pour the batter from a pitcher into the middle of the iron, and when it is just full close it down and turn it at once, as the under side will be now hotter than the top.

Take half a pint of water, half a pint of milk, six ounces of butter, half a pound of flour, and six eggsFrench Doughnuts. Heat the butter, milk, and water, and when it boils remove from the fire and stir in the flour, using a wooden spoon. When well mixed, stir in the eggs, whipping each one in separately until you have a hard batter. Now pour your dough into a pastry bag. This is an ordi- nary cheesecloth bag, one corner of which has a tiny tin funnel, with a fluted or fancy edge. These little tins may be purchased at any tinware store. It should be very small, not over two inches high at the most, so the dough may be easily squeezed through it. Pour the paste on buttered paper, making into ring shapes. Fry in hot fat. Dust with powdered sugar. Biscuits. To one quart of flour and two teaspoons yeast powder, pinch of salt, add four tablespoons butter. Mix thoroughly, moisten with milkBiscuits, using a knife (not hand or spoon). Have the dough as soft as possible. Handle it very little.
