oven twenty-five minutes. Mix in the morning, if wanted for the evening meal. When done, brush over the top, while warm, with equal parts of milk and molasses.

Nut Bread
  • 2½ Cupfuls of Flour
  • 3 Teaspoonfuls of Baking-powder
  • ¼ Teaspoonful of Salt
  • ½ Cupful of Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cupful of Milk
  • ¾ Cupful of English Walnut Meats, chopped fine

Beat egg and sugar together, then add milk and salt. Sift the baking-powder into the dry flour, and put all the ingredients together. Add the nuts last, covering with a little flour, to prevent falling, and bake in a moderate oven one hour.

Oatmeal Bread
  • 2 Cupfuls of Rolled Oats
  • 3½ Cupfuls of Boiling Water
  • ½ Cupful of Molasses
  • 1 Yeast Cake
  • Pinch of Salt

Let the rolled oats and boiling water stand until cool, then add the molasses, salt, and yeast cake which has been dissolved in cold water. Stir in flour enough to make a stiff dough. Let it rise over night. In the morning, stir it down and let it rise again. Mold into loaves and let rise again.

Bake forty-five minutes in a moderate oven.

This will make three small loaves.
