EXCELLENT FOR SUPPERS.
Edmonds’ Custards, served hot (grate little nutmeg on top to taste), are delicious also for children’s parties.
A tablespoonful of flour equals 1 ounce, and so on. One large breakfastcup of flour equals half pound.
TO YOUNG PEOPLE.
To make sure that cakes are baked enough, stick a clean bright skewer, or straw through it; if it comes out clean and free from the cake mixture it is done, if otherwise, it requires longer cooking. Careful practice will bring you success.
