CHEESE BALLS

Beat the white of one egg stiff. To this add 3 tablespoons of grated American cheese. Mix thoroughly together, and roll into little balls about the size of marbles. Fry these in deep smoking hot lard. Cheese balls are most delicious with a green salad.

BUCKWHEAT CAKES

I have eaten many buckwheat cakes, but never any as delicious as this recipe makes. Pour two cups of scalded milk over 0 a cup of fine bread crumbs, and let this soak for thirty minut~s. Add 0 teaspoon of salt, 0 cake yeast dissolved in 0 cup of warm water. Stir in enough buckwheat flour to make a thin batter (usually about 1 ~ cups). Let this raise overnight. In the morning stir it well, add a tablespoon of maple syrup and y,1: teaspoon of soda dis– solved in 0 cup of warm water.
