Tea Biscuits

Mrs. Norcross.

One cup of hot water, two of milk, three tablespoons of yeast; mix thoroughly; after it is risen, take twothirds of a cup of butter and a little sugar and mould it; then let it rise, and mould it into small cakes. TO MAKE STALE BREAD OR CAKE FRESH.

Mrs. M. G. Adams.

Plunge the loaf one instant in cold water; lay it upon a tin in the oven ten or fifteen minutes. Cake and rolls may be thus made almost as nice as if just baked, but must be eaten immediately.
