Three pints of scalded milk cooled, and a teaspoonful of saleratus, dissolved in two spoonfuls of hot water, and put into it.
Beat eight eggs, and mix all together. Bake one hour in pans, like sponge cake.
It looks, when broken, like sponge cake, and is very fine. If the whites are cut to a froth, and put in, just as it goes to bake, it improves it very much. Some think this improved by adding a tea-cup of sugar. Much depends on the baking, and if you fail, it is probably owing to the baking.
Royal Crumpets.
Three tea-cups of raised dough.
Four great spoonfuls of melted butter, worked into the dough.
Three well-beaten eggs.
One tea-cup of rolled sugar, beaten into the eggs.
Turn it into buttered pans, and bake twenty minutes.
Some like them better without the sugar.
