COOKED FROSTING — The whites of three eggs beaten stiff, and one cup of granulated sugar. Put sugar in a pan and cover with water, let it cook until it will hair from the end of a fork. Stir the beaten eggs with this until perfectly cold; it will then be thick enough to spread on cake. — Mrs. W. L. Scott.

Two cups sugar, three-fourths cup butter, one and a half cups sour milk, one teaspoon soda. Flavor with nutmeg. Flour enough to roll softly. Sprinkle sugar on top, cut and bake. — Mrs. P. B. Turnbull.

The juice of two lemons, two eggs, piece of butter the size of a hickory nut, coffee-cup of sugar. Beat all together and boil until it thickens, stirring carefully. This is enough for four layers. — Mrs. C. E. Dodge.
