Prepare a dough as for soup balls. Make round flat cakes with your hands and fill with seeded prunes; place one flat cake over the filled one; press edges firmly together and roll until perfectly round. Boil them in salt water. Let water boil hard before putting in kloesse. Heat goose fat, cut up an onion, and let brown; pour this over the kloesse and serve hot. The kloesse are nice without any filling.

MATZOTH FRITTERS
Soak two or three matzoths in water, when soft squeeze out, add four eggs, a pinch of salt, one-half cup sugar, one-half teaspoonful cinnamon and one apple sliced very fine. Have your fat or butter very hot and drop in a tablespoonful at a time to brown. They are very nice served with any stewed fruits.

BOSTON BROWN BREAD
One cake Fleischmann’s yeast, one and three-fourths pint water, two cups graham flour, one-half cup sifted rye flour, two and one-half cups sifted wheat flour, one and one-half cup sifted corn meal, one tablespoonful butter, one teaspoonful salt, three-fourths cup molasses. Heat one pint of the water to boiling, and pour it over the corn meal and salt; let stand to scald a few minutes. Then add the butter, melted, one cup of water (cold), molasses, graham, rye, and wheat flours, and lastly the yeast, previously dissolved in the remaining half cup of lukewarm water; mix thoroughly; half fill well-greased baking-tins having covers, and set to rise for about two hours, or until within an inch of the top. Then grease and put on covers, and bake in moderate oven for three hours and a half; take off covers and bake for another half hour. This recipe, carefully followed, makes the original Boston brown bread. An ordinary three-pound lard-pail makes a good baking-tin for this purpose. This recipe makes sufficient for two pails. The entire process takes about six hours.
