White Bread Cakes

1 pound of bread crumbs. 12 ounces of flour. 3 pints of water or milk. 4 eggs. Salt. 2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder.

Remove all the dark crust from the bread, and then soak it in a quart of the water several hours, with a plate to press it under. Mash smooth and add the flour, the pint of milk or water, eggs and powder. It always improves batter cakes to beat the eggs light, before mixing them in. No shortening nor syrup needed for the above.
