Then cut some slices and spread with jam—raspberry jam perferably. Put the slices in layers in a pie-dish. Make a thick custard with eggs. or with egg powder or custard powder, and pour it boiling hot over the bread. Leave it to soak for twelve hours or longer before eating. Do not cook the pudding in any way, because that would spoil it. GINGER SWEETMEAT.—Take two cupfuls of sugar, half a cupful of milk, half an ounce of butter, and preserved ginger. Place the sugar, milk, and butter in a saucepan, and boil very carefully in a double cooker for seven minutes. Place the pan in a basin of cold water, and beat the mixture until it is thick and creamy. Cut up the ginger into pieces, and coat each with the creamy mix- ture. MUFFINS.—Take two pounds of dry flour and put into an earthen pan. Beat up two eggs and put two ounces of butter (melted) in a pint of milk and five spoonfuls of good barm. Mix the beaten eggs (sieved), butter. and barm in the warmed milk, the* beat all together. Set this in a vessel to rise for about four hours. Put into muffin tins and bake upon iron plates; when one side is done turn on the other. BKEAKFAST CAKES.—Rub into one pound of dry flour one ounce of butter, a teaspoon- ful of sugar, and a dust of salt. Mix a tablespoonful of light yeast with a half-pint of warm new milk, sweeten with sugar. Then stir this well into the flour until a smooth, soft dough. Cover the pan over and set it near the fire to rise about an hour. Make this into small cakes, put upon floured tins. set in a good oven, and bake for twenty minutes. BUNS FOR THE CHILDREN.—An excellent recipe for wholesome and economical bUllS for the youngsters hatj lately tractcd attention, and is as follows: 3oz. butter into lib. Colman's self-rising Bour, add 3oz. sugar, 2oz. currants, loz. saltanns, loz. chopped peel, and a little spic-e. }.lll; into a dough with i pint warm milk into 2oz. pioces and shape romd, lay .un greased tin, put into a sligntly warm plne fur about t half, then bake in a fairly quick oveni; when cooked, wash over at once with egg, milk, or some water made very sweet. TOMATO PIE.-Take a pound of firm, ripe tomatoes, two ounces of Demerara sugar, an ounce of butter, the grated peel of a large lemon, and sufficient short crust to line and cover a medium-sized pie-dish. Slice the tomatoes very thin, and remove all the seeds you can. Grease the pie-dish and line it with paste; put the tomatoes in lt III layers, separating each layer with a sprinkling of sugar and grated lemon rind. Melt the butter to oil, and pour over the top. Cover with pastry, brush it over with cold water. and finally sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake the pie in a steady oven for thirty or forty minutes. It is an error to regard tomatoes ae suitable only for savoury cooking; many delicious and uncommon sweet dishes can bo made of them.
