Next, roll out the lump till it is as thin as a knite blade, dust it all over with flour, cut it into bands and lay one on top of the otiier — the flour keeps them from sticking together — and then with a sharp knife cut off the nudels in shreds no thicker than straws and all of one length, which will be the width of the bands of dough. Shake the shreds apart and dust with flour and slide them into a dry pan to keep until the soup is ready to receive them. Any surplus flour may be got rid of by shaking the nudels around in a seive, and if to go in a very clear soup or consomme (139) they can be parboiled separately first and dipped up with a skimmer. make it a prettier color and show up the nudels better \jmi in a tabiespooniul of burnt sugar coloring.

It is generally I thou^h^ that a brick o-.eji is an indis- pensable requirement for the b:iking, yet at the Rati i burn House at the Moun- tain Gap, we used to bake beans most j)erfectly in the range in which the night- watchman kept up a slow fire all night.
