Broiled Sardines on Toast. Omelet.
Nursery Muffins.
Sugar Cakes. Chocolate.
Broiled Sardines on Toast.—Broil the sardines on a fine wire broiler, lay two on each slice of toast, and squeeze over them a few drops of lemon juice.
Nursery Muffins.—Two cups milk, two cups fine bread-crumbs, one cup flour, saltspoonful salt, one egg, one tablespoonful butter, three teaspoonfuls baking-powder. Beat the egg light, stir in the butter, the bread soaked in the milk, and the flour and baking-powder. Bake in a steady oven, greasing the muffin tins well, so that the batter may not stick to them.
Sugar Cakes.—One cup butter, one cup sugar, four cups flour, two eggs, one teaspoonful vanilla. Cream butter and sugar, mix with the beaten eggs, add the flour and the flavoring, roll out very thin, and bake in a moderate oven, sprinkling the cakes with granulated sugar just before baking.

Veal Hamburg Steaks. Light Rolls.
Apple-Sauce. Jumbles.
Veal Hamburg Steaks.—One pound lean veal, chopped fine; two teaspoonfuls onion juice; salt and pepper to taste. Mix all well, form with the hands into flattened cakes, and broil over a clear fire. Lay on each a half-teaspoonful of maître d'hôtel butter, or a bit of butter the size of a hickory nut, first squeezing a few drops of lemon juice on the meat. Let them stand covered a minute before serving.
Jumbles.—Half-cup butter, three quarters of a cup of sugar, one heaping cup flour, two eggs (the yolks only), two tablespoonfuls sherry, extract of rose to taste. Beat the yolks, cream the butter and sugar; mix these, and add the flour and the flavoring. Make into round balls with the fingers, and place them on a well-buttered tin so far apart that when they flatten they may not run into each other. Stick a raisin, a slip of citron, or a blanched almond on top of each. Bake in a steady oven to a pale yellow. Do not brown. While still warm, loosen them from the pan with a sharp knife, as they become very brittle when cold.
