crackers, then a thin one of grated cheese, and a little
butter, then the crackers, cheese, etc., until the dish is

twenty minutes. Delicious.
Milk Luncheon or Tea
Nowadays, when fresh milk is a fashionable drink
at luncheon, or at afternoon teas or at suppers, the
hostess who likes the milk to look dainty will serve it
in tall thin glasses — not goblets — and have shaken
over the top a fall of nutmeg.
Sallie Lunn
One quart of flour, one egg, one yeast cake, lard
size of small hen egg, dessertspoonful of sugar. Beat
the yolks of eggs with the sugar and lard; dissolve
the yeast cake in half a teacupful of tepid water, and
add; then sift the flour and one teaspoonful of salt,
and make a very stiff batter with a little milk-warm
boiled milk. Set by fire to rise. In three or four
hours, work and make out in pan, one layer at the
bottom, greased with a little lard and the other layer
on top of that. Set to rise and then bake.
