LEMON AND ORANGE BISCUITS
Rub 6 oz. fresh butter into 1 ¼ lb. flour, stir in ¾ lb. castor sugar and the grated rind of one lemon. Mix well and add four well-whisked eggs and the juice of a lemon. Beat mixture one or two minutes and drop from a spoon on to a buttered oven sheet. Allow room between each spoonful as the mixture spreads. Bake in a moderate oven until pale brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Orange biscuits can be made the same way, substituting orange for lemons, but the juice of half a lemon should be added to the orange, juice. If a stiffer biscuit is preferred put 8oz. of butter and 1 ½ lb. flour, and roll the mixture out and cut into strips. -

@SofiaLenss Cookies
1905:
Two pounds of seeded (not seedless) raisins, one pound of currants, one pint or chopped nuts (any kind liked,) one quart of New Orleans syrup, one pint of lard, one pint of buttermilk, two grated nutmegs, one tablespoonful of soda.
After thoroughly flouring the fruit, put in all the ingredients and mix with sufficient flour to make a stiff dough, as you would mix bread. Do this at night, and let stand until morning, in a fairly warm place. In the morning roll out without kneading, cut into squares with a knife and bake. This will make four gallons of
cookies, which will not spoil very soon. A less amount may be made by using the above proportions. It will be best to try with a smaller quantity, though this recipe is highly recommended. -

. . . A Sad Recipe
I didn't have potatoes, so I substituted rice. I didn't have paprika, so I used another spice. I didn't have tomato sauce, so I used tomato paste; a whole can not a half can 'cause I didn't want to waste. A friend gave to me the recipe; she said you couldn't beat it! There must be something wrong with her 'cause I couldn't even eat it.
