Egg Toast

Soak slices of stale bread in milk, and beat up some eggs with a little salt and cinnamon. Turn the soaked bread into the egg, and fry in hot butter. The milk and eggs may be beaten up together and the bread soaked in it before frying. Serve with apple, cranberry or apricot sauce, or with syrup and lettuce. This is suitable morning, noon or night.

Rice Fritters

Mix some left-over rice with several well beaten eggs, and the grated rind of a lemon. Bake on a hot griddle. Serve with fruit sauce and lettuce, morning, noon or night.

Unleavened German Pancakes

No. 1. Use six eggs, six tablespoonsful of flour, one and one-half cup of warm milk, one-half cup of cream, and a little salt. Mix well the yolks, salt, cream, milk and flour, then add the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. The dough must be of the consistency of thick cream. Bake in thin layers in half butter and half oil, in a small pan. Serve with lettuce and fruit sauce or with French dressing at the noon meal.

German Potato Pancakes

No. 2. Grate five large raw potatoes and one onion. Mix two table-spoonsful of white flour with a little warm water and a cup of rich cream, add salt and mix with the potatoes. Then add three whole eggs beaten well, and fry in hot fat like griddle cakes, until brown. Serve with apple sauce, or lettuce and French dressing.

German Pancakes. No. 3

Mix one pint of white flour and one-fifth pint of rice flour with one pint of rich warm milk, or with one-half milk and one-half warm water, and a teaspoonful of salt. Beat four whole eggs, add to the mixture and beat with an egg beater for a few minutes, until perfectly smooth. Bake on a small, shallow, iron griddle, using about four tablespoonsful of the mixture for each cake. The fat used for frying must be boiling hot. Pile on a plate standing over hot steam until all are done. Cut in sections and sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Serve with green salads or apples, or with apple, apricot or cranberry sauce.

Plum Pancakes

Prepare the batter a little thicker than the foregoing. Peel and slice some blue plums very thin, mix with the batter and bake as above.

German Pancakes With Bacon

Cut some bacon into narrow short strips. Fry until crisp, place in a bowl and mix with a piece of butter or with oil. Keep it in a warm place while baking the pancakes. Pour some fat and six pieces of bacon into the pan for each cake, and bake the same as German pancakes. Do not allow a metallic spoon to remain in hot fat.

Apple Pancakes

Peel some apples and cut in thin slices. Mix with the dough as directed for German pancakes and fry on both sides. If fewer eggs are used, take a little more flour.

Cherry Pancakes

Remove the stones from ripe black cherries. Prepare the dough as directed for German pancakes, mix the cherries with it and fry in hot fat.
