Steamed Bread

The very dry, hard pieces may be used in this way: Heat a griddle hot, butter it well, dip the pieces of bread quickly into hot salted water, and brown on both sides on the griddle. Eat with butter or with syrup.

To Freshen Dry Rolls or a Loaf of Dry Bread Dip them quickly into cold water, drain, and heat in oven.

Bread Griddle-cakes (with Sour Milk) Use equal quantities of sour milk and small, broken pieces of bread. Mix and let stand, covered, over one or two nights. Bits of rice may be added to this mixture if desired. In warm weather a little salt may be put with it. (In this case omit adding salt later.) When ready to use, put through colander. For each pint of mixture use one egg, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, and about three-quarters of a cup sifted flour. It is always wise to bake a small cake first, that any lack in ingredients may be remedied at once. An extra yolk or small amount of uncooked egg may be added if at hand. Bake on hot griddle and serve with syrup.
