baking-powder, lard the size of an egg. Mix the baking-powder and salt through the flour, then the lard. Work into a soft dough with nearly a pint of sweet milk. Roll out thin on the biscuit-board; spread with melted but- ter, and sprinkle with sugar. Then roll it over and over, and cut down in slices about three-quarters of an inch thick. Lay flat in the biscuit-pan, and bake quickly. Very nice. Mrs. William Davis. PARKER HOUSE ROLLS. Dissolve two table-spoonfuls of white sugar, one tea-spoon- ful of salt, three-fourths of a tea-cupful of good yeast, one cupful of lard in one quart of warm milk, four quarts of flour before sifting. Mix all together, leaving out a little of the flour, to roll out with. If wanted for breakfast, mix them at night ; but if for tea, mix them in the morning. Let them rise well, then knead, and cut out. Put them into pans to rise again for three-quarters of an hour, then bake. Miss Sue Bierbower. 142 The New Kentucky Home Cook Book. POCKET-BOOKS. Take one quart of sponge, three eggs beaten separately very light then whipped together, one cupful of lard or but- ter, one cupful of white sugar, one cupful of sweet milk, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead well, and set in a warm place to rise. When light, knead again. Pinch off small pieces, roll out half an inch thick, spread with butter and sugar, and then fold over and press the edges together with the fingers. Lay them in well-buttered pans, and set to rise. Bake in a moderate oven. Mrs, Annie Lee. BAKING-POWDER. Take one-half pound of cream of tartar, one-half pound of soda less two table-spoonfuls, one ounce of tartaric acid, one-half cupful of flour
