Have the tins well greased and do not fill them more than two-thirds full. Be sure the lids fit well. Sour milk pancakes One pint thick. well-soured milk, about two and a half cups sifted flour, one tablespoon mo lasses, one level teaspoon soda, one' third teaspoon salt. Sift the flour, salt and soda into a bowl. Make a "well" in the center and mix In the other In gredients to make a smooth batter. Add the milk rather cautiously towards the last because with some kinds of flour a very little less milk may be needed, but the batter should not be too thick. A little practice is neces sary with different kinds of flour. The egg may be omitted lor Inexpensive cakes. One tablespoon melted shorten ing improves the mixture If the milk is not rich. Two eggs may be used for still richer pancakes. Bake In the usual way. on a griddle, and serve with butter and syrup, or with Jelly, or with crisp bacon. Portland. Or.. Feb. 10. Could yon rive ma the date of The Oreffonlan whlcb bad the toffee and butter scotch recipes In It? X am sure it was on a Saturday. Thought perhaps I could set one at the office. I put the paper away but some of the family took It. Or Is it possible you might be re peating them? You may answer either through Daily or Sunday Orenonlan. MRS. G. a. I cannot find the, date of the recipe for which you ask, but I hope the fol lowing may suit you. If not. write again, as I have many slightly differ ing recipes for butter scotch and toffee. Butterscotch Two cups granulated sugar, one-quarter cup glucose, one third cup water to dissolve sugar. Cook to about 270 degrees Fahrenheit, then add one tablespoon molasses, two ta blespoons butter and one-quarter tea spoon salt. Stir and cook to about 2i0 desrrees. Then either sour In "drops" I the size of half a dollar, or pour Into a greased tin and mark in squares, when half cold. If butterscotch is wanted flavored with vanilla it is bet ter to cook a little vanilla bean or lemon rind (yellow on both sides) In the early stages of the syrup, removing before the "feather" is reacher, than to use "extracts" at the end and risk granulation. A richer butterscotch Is made as fol lows: Boil two cups light brown sugar and on-half cup water with one-half teaspoon cream of tartar to 270 degrees Fahrenheit. Add one-half cup butter and one-half cup light corn syrup, or light glucose (not the - stiff, heavy kind) with a pinch of salt; cook to 209 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour Into greased pans and mark In squares. Nuts may be added, according to taste and purse, to any of the above butterscotch mix tures, as well as to the following: Russian toffee Bqll three cups of sugar with one cup apple, currant or raspberry Jelly, atid one-half cup water to 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Then add one-half cup cream and one tablespoon butter with a pinch of salt and cook to 290 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring well to prevent burning. Finish like butter scotch.
