of one egg, and make into small flat cakes; dip each into flour.
Heat two tablespoonfuls of nice dripping, and when it is hot lay
in the cakes and brown, turning each with the cake-turner as it
gets crusty on the bottom.


Fried Sweet Potatoes

Take six cold boiled sweet-potatoes, slice them and lay in hot
dripping in the frying-pan till brown. These are especially nice
with veal cutlets.



Toast

Toast is very difficult for grown people to make, because they
have made it wrong all their lives, but it is easy for little
girls to learn to make, because they can make it right from the
first.

Cut bread that is at least two days old into slices a quarter
of an inch thick. If you are going to make only a slice or two,
take the toasting-fork, but if you want a plateful, take the wire
broiler. Be sure the fire is red, without any flames. Move the
slices of bread back and forth across the coals, but do not let
them brown; do both sides this way, and then brown first one and
then the other afterward. Trim off the edges, butter a little
quickly, and send to the table hot. Baker's bread makes the
best toast.
