teaspoonful of soda, and one heaping teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Mix soda with milk and cream of tartar with flour. Flavor with cinnamon and nutmeg, stiffen with flour and bake in hot lard. DOUGHNUTS. Mix one cup each of milk and granulated sugar into a mixing bowl, and stir till dissolved ; beat three eggs well and stir in. Take two quarts of flour and three heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted together; mix the whole into a soft dough, using as little flour in manipulating it as possible. Cut into rings and fry in very hot lard. Mixing the sugar and milk together first keeps the dough from soaking grease, and avoiding the use of a great deal of flour in working with the dough makes the cakes puffy and delicate. DOUGHNUTS WITHOUT YEAST. Half a pound of butter, a pint of sour milk or butter- milk, three-quarters of a pound of sugar, a small tea- spoonful of saleratus dissolved in a little hot water, two well-beaten eggs, and as much flour as will make a smooth dough ; flavor with half a teaspoonful of lemon extract and half a nutmeg grated; rub a little flour over a bread board or table, roll the dough to a quarter of an inch in thickness, cut it in squares, or diamonds, or round cakes, and fry in boiling lard as directed. These cakes may be made in rings and fried. SOUR MILK DOUGHNUTS WITHOUT YEAST. Take a quart of flour, three eggs, three-quarters of a pound of sugar and half a cup of shortening
