Required: 2 eggs, 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of milk. 1 teaspoonful of salt, 1 tablespoonful of melted butter. Mix carefully as follows: Break and beat the two eggs; add teaspoonful salt; add two cups sifted flour, and little by little the two cups milk, rubbing smooth with spoon. The butter should be placed to melt as the mixing begins and is ready to add last, beating into the very soft batter. It should not have a lump in it. Bake for fifteen or twenty minutes in a crisp oven. Allow them to stand for a few moments after browning with the door ajar, and they will not fall.

Meat for soup should be boiled long and slowly. People usually hurry soups too much, but in this case “haste certainly makes waste.” The water should be cold when the meat is put in, and it should be thoroughly skimmed as soon as it boils, kept closely covered and carefully strained when done.
