two teaspoonfuls baking powder. Bake in cups, and eat with sweet sauce. INDIAN PUDDING. One quart milk ; one teacup molasses ; one cup suet ; one heap- ing cup Indian meal ; one egg; a little ginger, cinnamon and salt. Heat the milk, and stir into it the meal wet, with cold milk. Let it boil for two minutes. When cold, add other ingredients, and bake. HARD SAUCE. Beat together one cup fine sugar and one-half cup butter- Flavor with vanilla or nutmeg. SOFT SAUCE. One pint hot water ; one tablespoonful butter ; three full table- spoonfuls sugar. While boiling, stir in one tablespoonful cornstarch, dissolved in cold water. Flavor with vanilla, or lemon and nutmeg. PASTRY. Take equal parts of butter and lard, and chop them into the flour ; add sufficient cold water to moisten, a little salt, and roll as little as possible. For one pie the proportions are one cup flour, butter and lard the size of a small egg. Pastry which is chopped in this way is much lighter than if mixed with the hand ; but, however made, it is an unwholesome and expensive food, and should be very seldom eaten.
