h a cup of wheat flour and a
teaspoonful of salt. Add three well-beaten eggs; thin the whole with

GRIDDLE-CAKES. (Very Good.)
One quart of Graham flour, half a pint of Indian meal, one gill of
yeast, a teaspoonful of salt; mix the flour and meal, pour on enough

bowl, then beat to a smooth paste; add the yolks of the eggs well
whipped, the butter, salt, soda, and finally the whites of the eggs
