(All measurements are level)

Macaroni and Cheese (Three portions)

½ C-macaroni, broken in pieces
1 qt. water
1 t-salt
2 T-butter
4 T-cheese, cut in small pieces
1½ C-milk
½ t-salt
¼ t-paprika
3 T-flour

Cook the macaroni in the boiling salted water until tender. (About fifteen minutes.) Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Melt the butter, add the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add the milk and cheese. Cook three minutes. Add the macaroni. Mix well, and pour into a well-buttered baking dish. Place in a moderate oven and cook twenty minutes.

Baking-powder Biscuits (Fifteen biscuits)

2 C-flour
4 t-baking powder
½ t-salt
3 T-lard
²/₃ C-milk

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt, and cut in the fat with a knife. Slowly add the milk. (More or less may be required, as it depends on the flour.) Pat into shape three-fourths of an inch thick. Cut with a cutter, place side by side on a tin pan. Bake in a hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes.
