When all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, place them in two or more well-buttered tins or hoops, and let them stand in front of the fire a little while before they are placed in the oven.

Cakes can be flavoured with a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, or powdered coriander seeds.
These last are always used to give a special flavour to hot cross buns.
BREAD .-- Home-made bread is not so much used now as it was years back.

Most housekeepers have found by experience that it is a waste both of time and money.

There are very few houses among the middle classes which possess an oven capable of competing with any chance of success with a baker's oven.
There are, however, many vegetarians who believe in what is called whole-meal bread.

A good deal of the whole-meal bread sold as such has been found to be adulterated with substances very unwholesome to ordinary stomachs.
