Pinch of salt. SALMON SOUFFLE. Mrs. J. H. Wolf. One can salmon, picked into small pieces ; salt and pepper. . Dressing: One pint milk, three eggs, two tablespoons of flour, butter size of an egg, a little salt. Scald the milk in a double boiler ; add eggs, beaten light, then the flour stirred with a little milk and lastly the butter. Boil until thick, stirring constantly. Grease a baking dish and put in a layer of salmon, then a layer of dressing and so on, until all is used. Spread the top with bread crumbs and bake twenty minutes.

For making the batter : One cup of sifted flour, one cup sweet milk, two eggs, one-half teaspoon salt, same of sugar, two tablespoons olive oil. Have a kettle of lard hot, just as we fry. doughnuts. Put the iron in the hot lard about twenty- minutes before you begin to fry them. Wipe the grease all oft the iron every time be- fore putting in the batter. Tissue paper is best to use. The filling for the timbales is made of oysters, sweet- bread or chicken, anything that is good. To make it of oysters, pour oft the liquor and add enough rich milk or cream to the oysters to make a nice rich gravy to FISH 29 them, not too much or it will spoil the timbales. Sweet- breads are made the same way. If you want, you can thicken with a little flour mixed smooth with cream ; be careful not to get them too thin. Use the batter out of tumblers, as you can put the iron in so easily; keep filling the glass up as it is used out. WHITE FISH TIMBALES WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE. Mrs. H. D. Richardson.
