• 1 cupful of sugar
• 1 cupful of milk
• 4 tablespoonfuls of melted butter
• 1 saltspoonful each of salt
• 1/2 teaspoonful of soda
• 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoonful of baking-powder
• a cupful of molasses on the fire

• three eggs together
• four tablespoonfuls of melted butter
• two slits in each piece

Directions

1. Put a half cupful of butter and a cupful of molasses on the fire; as soon as the butter is softened remove them, and add a half cupful of brown sugar, a teaspoonful of ginger, and a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little hot water; then mix in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Roll it very thin, and stamp it into circles.

2. Beat three eggs together; add four tablespoonfuls of sugar and four tablespoonfuls of melted butter or lard; then enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll. Roll it a quarter of an inch thick. Cut it into pieces three and a half inches long and two inches broad. Cut two slits in each piece, and give each one a twist. Fry the crullers in hot fat, the same as doughnuts.

3. 2 eggs. 1 cupful of sugar. 1 cupful of milk. 4 tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Flour enough to make a soft dough. 1 saltspoonful each of salt and ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoonful of soda and 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar, or 1 teaspoonful of baking-powder.

4. Roll the dough one inch thick. Cut it into small circles, or rings, or strips and twist them. Drop the cakes into smoking hot fat, and fry to light brown; drain, and roll them in powdered sugar while still warm.
