Crumb Cake.
Two cups flour, 1½ cups sugar, ¾ cup butter, 2 teaspoons baking powder. Mix with the hands until flakey then set aside ½ cup of this mixture. Yolks of 2 eggs well beaten, mix with ¾ cups milk; add this to the first mixture, then add the stiffly beaten whites of eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well and put in tins; add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to the ½ cup crumbs; spread on top of cake. Bake in slow oven about 30 minutes.—Mrs. H. Schoenwolf.
Delicious Corn Bread.
Two cups cornmeal, 1 quart milk, 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar. Beat the eggs thoroughly, add the meal, butter, salt and sugar and when well mixed, the milk which has been put over the fire to scald. Pour into a buttered pan and put at once into the oven. The batter is very thin but needs no more meal as the eggs will stiffen sufficiently.—Mrs. Albrecht.
