PLANKED SHAD.

This is the very best way of cooking shad: The plank
should be 3 inches thick, 2 feet long, lj4 feet wide, and of
well-seasoned hickory or oak. Pine or soft wood gives the
fish a woody taste. Scale a fine shad, split it down the back,
clean it, wash well and wipe dry. Dredge it with salt and
pepper, place the plank before a clear fire to get very hot.
Then spread the shad open and nail it skin next the hot plank
with tacks. Put it before the fire with the large end down.
In a few minutes turn the board so that the other end will be
down. To tell when it is done pierce it with a fork. If the
flesh be flakey it is done. Spread with butter and serve on
the plank, or draw the tacks carefully and slide the shad
into a hot dish.

SALAD DRESSING.

That witty divine, Sydney Smith, wrote the following
directions for a salad dressing, which those who have tried
praise highly :

Two boiled potatoes strained through a kitchen sieve.

Softness and smoothness to the salad give;

Of mordant mustard take a single spoon —

Distrust the condiment that bites too soon ;

Yet deem it not, thou man of taste, a fault

To add a double quantity of salt.

Four times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown,

And twice with vinegar procured from town;

True taste requires it, and your poet begs

The pounded yellow of two hard-boiled eggs.

Let onion's atoms lurk within the bowl.

And, scarce suspected, animate the whole ;

And lastly, in the favored compound toss

A magic spoonful of anchovy sauce.

Oh, great and glorious ! Oh, herbaceous meat !

'T would tempt the dying anchorite to eat.

Back to the world he'd turn his weary soul

And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl.

Dissolve the yeast in 1 qt. lukewarm water, and add to

it 2 qts. sifted flour, or sufificient to make an ordinary sponge ;

set aside to raise for about 2 hours to 2j4 hours. When well

risen, add to it the pint of lukewarm water in which the salt

has been dissolved; then add the remainder of the flour to

piake a moderately stiff dough. Knead thoroughly and set

g,side to raise for IJ^ to 2 hours. When light, turn out on a

well-floured kneading board and knead thoroughly; divide

into 4 equal parts and place in well greased baking pans. Let

raise again for about 1 hour. When light, bake for 1 hour in

a moderate oven. After bread is baked, remove the loaves

from the pans and lean them against the empty pans, so as to

cool the loaves by contact with the air on all sides. This

recipe makes 4 large loaves. The whole process takes from

6 to 6^ hours, and, if followed closely, will produce very

good results.

SCOTCH SCONES.

1 qt. flour; Sour milk or buttermilk;

2 teaspoons cream of tartar; 2 teaspoon sugar;

Mix dry ingredients together, adding sufficient sour
milk or buttermilk to make a soft dough ; mix with a knife.

you can possibly handle it. These are supposed to be eaten

WHITE BREAD— QUICK METHOD.

2 cakes Fleishmann's yeast; 1 qt. lukewarm water;

1 teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon butter or lard;

2 tablespoons sugar;

3J^ qts. sifted flour (equal to 3 lbs. unsifted flour);

Dissolve the yeast in half the water and in the other
half dissolve the salt and sugar. Mix thoroughly the water
containing the yeast, salt and sugar, then stir in gradually

3 quarts of the flour. Now work in the lard or butter, and
make a moderately stiff dough. Knead well for 10 or
15 minutes; then set aside in a warm place, free from draft, to
raise until light, which will be in from 2 to 2J^ hours. Cover
with cloth or paper to prevent crust forming on top. When
light, make into loaves with the hand; place in well-greased
pans and set to raise again for 45 minutes. When light, bake
in a hot oven for from % hour to 1 hour. The extra pint of
flour will be needed to keep kneading board well floured when
kneading and forming into loaves. This makes three Ij^ lb.
loaves, The whole process takes about 4 hours. Half milk
a;nd half water may be used instead of all water if a richer loaf
is desired. Young housekeepers who have never done any
baicing have been eminently successful by following this
recipe.

good.

NUT KISSES.

3 eggs; Zy-i cups nuts.

2 cups pulverized sugar;

Mix the beaten whites of the eggs and the sugar to an icing.
Add chopped nuts and bake in a slow oven.

NUTTED FIGS.

Use any kind of figs ; wash them well and cut open and
lay over night in claret or a mixture of wine and sherry. Then
roll in a mixture made of ground nut meats, some orange peel
and chopped citron; a few dried prunes and apricots cut fine
and candied fruits also cut up — try to add the candied rhubarb
as it gives a fine flavor. After rolling both sides of the figs
with this coil up close with a toothpick.

— Mrs. Sam. Gallinger.

PEANUT BRITTLE.

2 cups granulated sugar; 1 cup shelled nuts.

Stir sugar over a slow fire until melted ; then whirl in the ni'ts
in the melted sugar. Remove to greased pan and break into
squares when cold. This may be improved by grinding the nuts, in-
stead of using whole.

—Miss B. S.

221

ORANGE STRAWS.

Soak orange skins in lukewarm water for an hour or
longer. Then scrape out all the soft pulp that adheres to the
skin; cut into narrow strips about J4 inch wide; boil these
hard, in clear water, until very soft — soft enough to be almost
transparent — put them in a colander to drain. Then make a
syrup of 1 cup granulated sugar and enough boiling water to
dissolve the sugar. When it is thoroughly boiled and clear,
cook a few "straws" at a time in the syrup for about 5 min-
utes. Have a large platter of granulated sugar, in which roll
the straws. When they have absorbed all the sugar they can,
put them on another plate to dry. These are a nice addition
to the nuts and candied fruits served for a luncheon or dinner.

— Mrs. Max Hamburger, Chicago.

PRALINES.

1% cups powdered sugar; J^ cup cream;

1 cup maple syrup; 2 cups pecan or hickory nuts.

Boil sugar, syrup and cream until when tried in water a soft
ball is formed. Remove from fire and beat until creamy. Add
nuts and drop from tip of spoon in small piles on buttered paper.

— Mrs. Meyer Fink.

SALTED ALMONDS.

Blanch Jordan almonds carefully, and add 1 teaspoon best
olive oil to each 2 cups nuts. Place in hot oven and stir often.
When brown, remove and sprinkle with fine salt to taste.

SEA FOAM.

1J4 cups maple sugar; J^ cup water;

1 egg (white); vanilla.

Boil sugar and water until it threads, and beat white of
egg very stiff, and pour hot syrup over it, very slowly, beating
all the time. Drop with a fork on buttered platter. Brown

sugar may be used, if preferred.

— Miss L. Smith.

FILLETS OF CHICKEN WITH FORCEMEAT.

(An entree made from one chicken to serve eig:ht)

By Mr. G. Schult (Heddelin)

Steward Hotel Lincoln.

Remove the fillets with care, to avoid separating the mignon and
large fillets. Cut each side lengthwise into four fillets; bat each to a uni-
forn thickness with a broad knife wet in cold water, dispose in a buttered
agate pan, sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper; cover with a butter-
ed paper and cook about five minutes in a moderate oven , then press
under a light weight until cold. Free the meat, taken from the first and
second joints, of skin and sinew- To each half pound of meat add four
ounces of panada, one ounce of butter, salt and white pepper, and pound
in a mortar to a smooth paste, adding meanwhile two raw eggs- When
well blended press through a sieve. Spread this to the depth of half an
inch over the fillets, smooth the tops and edges with a knife wet in hot
water and trim the fillets into shape if needed; put into a buttered saute
pan, add two tablespoonf uls of sherry wine and set into the oven for about
fifteen minutes or until firm to the touch. Dispose the fillets on a border
of forcemeat or potato and fill the center with a ragout of button mush-
rooms and chicken quenelles, or of peas or asparagus in a rich sauce.
