1. LAURA HAZARD ROBINSON, 1826.

2. _Contributed by William Attmore Robinson, Philadelphia, Pa._

3. Scald a sufficient quantity of corn meal, add a little salt, then mix with milk until it is of such a consistency that it may be put on a board as a flat cake, then cover with a little thick cream so that it will not burn, and bake before an open fire.

4. SALLY MORGAN’S GINGERBREAD.

5. _Contributed by Mr. C. Hartman Kuhn, Philadelphia, Pa._

6. 4 lbs. of flour, 1 lb. of butter, 1 lb. of sugar, 1 qt. of molasses, ¾ lb. ginger, spice, if agreeable.

7. EVE’S PUDDING.

8. “Aunt Mary.”

9. _Contributed by Mr. C. Hartman Kuhn, Philadelphia, Pa._

10. If you want a good pudding, mind what you are taught, Take of eggs six in number when bought for a groat, The fruit with which Eve her husband did cozen, Well pared and well chopped, at least half a dozen, Six ounces of bread, let Moll eat the crust, And crumble the rest, as fine as the dust, Six ounces of currants from the stems you must sort, Lest you break out your teeth and spoil all the sport, Six ounces of sugar won’t make it too sweet, Some salt and some nutmeg will make it complete, Three hours let it boil, without any flutter, But Adam won’t like it without wine and butter.
