Yorkshire Girdle-Cake. — ( Family Ptecipe.) — Set the girdle- plate over a clear fire, and be sure that it is hot before the paste is put upon it. Ascertain this by throwing a few grains of salt upon it ; if they crackle it is the right heat. The paste is made of a small handful of flour mixed with thin cream and a very little salt. On no account use baking powder or soda ; only flour and cream. If new milk has to be used or if the cream is too thin add a bit of butter the size of the tip of your thumb

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
