Parker House Rolls.
Mix about 7 or 8 o’clock in the morning 1 cup of milk scalded and 1 large tablespoon of butter. Let it cool and add 2 scant tablespoons of sugar, ¹⁄₂ teaspoon of salt, 1 yeast cake dissolved in a little warm water, stir all together with flour enough to make stiff dough.

Caution for Baking Griddle Cakes.
In using all griddles, the heat should be greatest when the batter is first poured on, this browns them quickly, then reduce the heat and cook more slowly as undone griddle cake is a failure.
Wheat Griddle Cakes.
Sift into a large mixing bowl 1 quart of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder and a scant teaspoon of salt. Beat until very light, 2 eggs, add 1 teaspoon of molasses and a pint of milk, mix well and very gradually blend the liquid into the flour. Beat the batter until it is full of air bubbles, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter, beat again and pour into a pitcher. Bake immediately on a heated griddle. The cakes must be served as fast as they are baked as even the lightest cakes will spoil if allowed to stand and steam in the oven. If the batter seems too thick add a little more milk as the thickening quality of the flour and the size of the egg may vary.
