In baking small cakes and cookies, grease the pans. If the pans cool before you can take off the cookies, set back on stove for a few moments. The cakes will then slip off easily. Sponge, drop cakes, anise cakes, etc., are better baked on floured pans. A whole raisin, an almond blanched, a piece of citron or half a walnut may be used to decorate.
STEWED ONIONS. Peel six large onions, fry them gently of a fine brown, but do not blacken them. Then put them into a small stewpan, with a little weak gravy, pepper and salt. Cover and stew them gently two hours, and let them be lightly floured at first. STEWED OX CHEEK. Soak and cleanse a fine cheek the day before it is to be eaten.
From MRS. MARGARET M. RATCLIFFE, of Arkansas, Alternate Lady Manager. Six tablespoons of grated cheese; two tablespoons of melted butter; enough flour to make a soft dough. Roll thin, cut in strips and bake in floured pan in quick oven. From MRS. L. M. N. STEVENS, of Maine, Lady Manager.
But how to depict the captain's surprise when he found a ring of savages singing in chorus that barbarous translation of 'For what we are going to receive, &c., which has been given above, and dancing hand in hand round the Latin-grammar master, in a hamper with his head shaved, while two savages floured him, before putting him to the fire to be cooked!
"Nancy, at your service!" reply I, with undisguised elation, looking eagerly at him, with my blackened eyes, to see what he will say next. "But what has happened to you?" he says, slowly, looking at me exhaustively from top to toe from the highest summit of my floured head to the point of my buckled shoes. "What have you got yourself up like this for?" "To please Mr.
Almost everybody has stopped dancing, and is staring with unaffected wonder at them. Their heads are heavily floured, and their cheeks rouged. They have also greatly overdone the burnt hair-pin, as a huge smouch of black under each of their eyes attests. They have all three got painfully tight knee-breeches, white stockings, and enormously long, broad-skirted coats, embroidered in tarnished gold.
Without observing it I rubbed myself against a wall which had been freshly whitewashed," answered the puppet, ashamed to confess that he had been floured like a fish prepared for the frying-pan. "And what have you done with your jacket, your trousers, and your cap?" "I met with robbers, who took them from me. Tell me, good old man, could you perhaps give me some clothes to return home in?"
Currants or raisins, floured, and stirred in at the last, will greatly improve it. It should be eaten cold, or quite cool. Mix the suet at once with the flour, knead it with cold water into a stiff dough, and then roll it out into a large thin sheet. Have ready some fruit sweetened to your taste. If cranberries, gooseberries, dried peaches, or damsons, they should be stewed, and made very sweet.
"Mis' French!" he called, loudly, as he opened the door, and that worthy woman appeared with a floured apron, and a mind divided between her employer's special business and her own affairs of pie-making. "She's coming this same day," roared the captain. "Might have given some notice, I'm sure. 'Be with you Saturday afternoon, and signed her name. That's all she's written. Whoo! whoo!
Divide the shortening into small bits and, using the tips of your fingers, rub it well into the dry flour just prepared; then gradually stir in cold water to make a soft dough, barely stiff enough to be rolled out 3/4 inch thick on bread-board, clean flat stone, or large, smooth piece of flattened bark. Whichever is used must be well floured, as must also the rolling-pin and biscuit cutter.
