Take the yolks of ten eggs; add to them ten tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar, three pints of new milk, and one pint of the best brandy (whiskey will do). Beat up the whites the last thing, and stir in, after the liquor is poured in.

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING AND BAKING PIES, TARTS, ETC.
The delicacy of pastry depends as much upon the baking as the making, therefore strict attention should be paid to the following directions:
Puff paste requires a quick, even heat; a hot oven will curl the paste and scorch it.
Tart paste or short paste requires a degree less of heat.
For raised or light crust, the oven may be heated as for puff paste.
When baking with coal, if the fire is not brisk enough do not put on more coal, but add a stick or two of hard wood; or if nearly done, put in a stick of pine wood.
