butter. Add six ounces of flour, the wcU-
beaten yolks of four eggs✪ Rice Waffles, and as much milk as
will form a batter — a little less than a pint will
be required. Beat the whites of the eggs till
firm, and add them to the batter at the last
moment. Be sure to beat all well together, and
to make the batter lighter pour it backwards
and forwards from a good height for a few
minutes. Make the waffle-irons hot, rub them
over in every part with dissolved butter, and
put a large spoonful of the mixture into them
for each cake. Close the iron, and set it over
a stove, or over hot coals, turn it over at the
end of six or eight minutes, then open it, and
if the cake is nicely coloured and leaves the
irons easily it is done enough. When pouring in
the batter be careful to leave room in the iron
for rising. Time to bake the waffles, about a
quarter of an hour. Probable cost, for this
quantity. Is. 3d. Sufficient for six or eight
persons.
Rice Waffles (another way).— &e Waffles,
Rice.
Rice-Water. — Put seven pints of water
to boil, add to it two ounces of washed rice,
two ounces of sugar, and the peel of two-thirds
of a lemon; boil gently for three-quarters of
an hour ; the liquid will reduce to five pints ;
strain through a colander, and the rice-water
will be ready. The rice may be left in the
beverage or made into a pudding, or by the
addition of a little sugar or jam it will be
found very good for either children or invalids.
— Soyer.
Rice, Water. — The water rice {Zizania
aquatka) is abundant in Wisconsin and other
parts of North America, on the swampy margins
of streams in shallow water. A gently-flowing
current, where the water is from two to six or
eight feet deep, is the most favourable habitat
for this plant, which forms an important article
of food among the Indian tribes. They obtain
it bj' paddling a canoe among the plants, when,
with a hooked stick, they draw the stems over
the canoe and beat off the grain. The harvest
only lasts for a very few days, as, when ripe,
the grain is shaken off by the slightest touch,
and if the wind should blow hard for a day or
two the rice is all lost. It is gathered both " in
the milk" and after it is mature. The Indians
take it to their camp, and put it into pans, when
it is roasted until the husks become dry and
reddish ; they then place it in sacks, and pound
it by striking on the outside so as to separate
the grain from the husk. It is winnowed, and
is then ready for use. Those who have tried it
prefer the Zizania to the ordinary rice of com-
juerce. — Gardener's Chronicle. (See also Rice,
Canadian.)
Rice Water, for Invalids.— Wash two
ounces of rice✪ Rice Water for Invalids in several waters, boil it gently
for two hours and a half, and stir frequently.
Strain it through a fine sieve, and rub through
the glutinous part, but not that which is firm.
WTien the liquor is cold it is ready for use. A
table -spoonful of raisins is sometimes boiled
with the rice. If the water is wanted quickly,
boil three ounces of rice for half an hour in a
quart of water.
