Things Mother Used to Make by Lydia Maria Gurney

1 Teaspoonful of Salt

Put the soda, salt and cream of tartar into the dry flour. Rub in the
lard and mix with water into a soft dough. Roll to the size of the
spider or griddle. When the spider is hot and well greased with lard,
lay on the cake and cover. Bake ten minutes on one side, then ten on
the other. This can be made quickly without waiting for the oven to
heat. Serve hot with butter.



=White Bread=

3 Cupfuls of Flour
3 Teaspoonfuls of Sugar
1 Teaspoonful of Lard
1 Pinch of Salt
1/2 Yeast Cake

Rub sugar, salt and lard into the flour. Dissolve the yeast in half a
cupful of cold water. Put all together and mix to a stiff dough with
milk or water, at night. In the morning, push it down and let rise
again. Then knead and place in a pan. Let it rise to twice its bulk and
bake thirty minutes.
