FRIED MUSH.
From MRS. GEORGE HOXWORTH, of Arizona, Alternate Lady Manager.
Three pints boiling water; one cup wheat flour; enough corn meal to make stiff batter. Fry while hot in plenty of grease. Think it more convenient than the old way and much better. A tablespoonful of sugar added makes it brown better.
SUPERIOR WAFFLES.
From MRS. MARY B.P. BLACK, of West Virginia, Alternate Lady Manager.
One quart of buttermilk; one pint of sweet new milk; four eggs, beaten separately; little salt; teaspoonful soda, dissolved in half teacup sour cream or buttermilk, and enough flour to make the dough of proper consistency. Sift your flour; begin with three pints, you may need less or more. Add buttermilk (sour cream will do instead), then sweet milk; then yolks of eggs, well beaten; then soda, having dissolved it in half teacupful of buttermilk or sour cream; add more flour now, should it be needed; lastly, whites of eggs, beaten to a stiff froth and stirred gently into the thin dough. Let the cook be careful to fill the iron scantily half full, to bake, as these beautiful waffles to be crisp and tender must have ample space to rise.
MEXICAN ENCHILADAS
From MRS. FRANC LUSE ALBRIGHT, of New Mexico, Lady Manager.
1. To make the tortillas for the enchiladas, take one quart of blue corn meal mixed with water and salt, making a batter stiff enough to flatten out into round cakes, and bake on the bare hot lid.
2. To make the chili sauce: One cup of tepid water; three tablespoonfuls of ground chili; let boil down to a batter.
