1 gill of flour.
1 egg.
1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
1/8 teaspoonful of pepper.
2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
Mix the flour, seasoning, and corn together. Add the butter, melted, and beat well. Beat the egg till light, and add to the mixture. Fry on a griddle, in cakes a little larger than a silver dollar. Serve with the meat course at breakfast.
String Beans.
String the beans and then break them into pieces about an inch long. Wash them, and let them stand in cold water for an hour or more. Cook them in plenty of boiling water for two hours. When they have been cooking for one hour add one teaspoonful of salt for each quart of beans. When done, pour off all the water and add to the beans one tablespoonful of butter and four tablespoonfuls of boiling water. If not salt enough, add a little more seasoning. Return to the fire for three minutes; then serve.
Butter Beans.
These are cooked the same as string beans.
