l make
twenty-four scones. To serve, split and fill with jam and then pile on
a wicker basket, cover with a napkin and serve with tea.

IRISH SCONES

Three cups of mashed potatoes,
Three cups of sifted flour,
Two teaspoons of salt,
Two level teaspoons of baking powder,
Three level teaspoons of shortening.

Now place in a bowl

One-half cup of milk,
One egg.

Beat. Use about two-thirds of the egg and milk mixture to form a
dough. Knead the dough to a smooth mixture and then divide into four
parts. Pat or roll out like a saucer and then make two cuts to form
the cross, cutting into four pieces. Brush with part of egg and milk
mixture and then place on a baking sheet and bake in a hot oven for
eighteen minutes.

POPOVERS

Place the popover pan in the oven to heat. When hot start to mix the
batter. Place in a measuring cup one egg, then fill with milk. Pour
into a mixing bowl and then add

One cup of sifted flour,
One teaspoon of sugar,
One-half teaspoon of salt.

Beat with egg-beater until the mixture is a mass of bubbles on top,
when the egg-beater is removed. This usually takes about five minutes.
Now grease the hot popover pan well and fill one-half full with the
batter. Place in a hot oven and bake for thirty-five minutes. Do not
open the oven door for ten minutes after you put the popovers in.
Opening the door before this period of time elapses prevents the
mixture from springing or popping. After twenty minutes turn down the
heat to moderate oven to prevent burning and to dry out the centres.

DOUGHNUTS

Take brioche dough, roll out one-half inch thick, cut with biscuit
cutter, place on moulding board, cover and let rise fifteen minutes,
fry golden brown in hot fat--roll in sugar and cinnamon.

DOUGHNUTS WITH FRUIT CENTRE

After doughnuts are cut and layed on board to rise, make an opening
in side of same and insert one spoonful of jelly, pinch edges together
and cover. Let rise and fry in usual manner.

CRULLERS

Place in bowl

Five cups of sifted flour,
One teaspoon of salt,
Three level tablespoons baking powder,
One and one-quarter cups sugar.

Rub between the hands to thoroughly mix; then rub in three
tablespoonfuls shortening. Then place

One egg,
One cup of milk

in a bowl; beat to mix. Use this to form the dough, roll out one-half
inch thick, cut and fry golden brown in hot fat.
