RAISED GRAHAM ROLLS
Scald two cups of milk and melt in it two level
tablespoons of butter and one-half level teaspoon of salt. When cool add
two tablespoons of molasses and one-half yeast cake dissolved in a
little warm water. Add white flour to make a thin batter, beat until
smooth and set in a warm place until light. When well risen stir in
whole meal to make a dough just stiff enough to knead. Knead until
elastic then place it in the original bulk. Flour the board and turn the
risen dough out carefully, pat out one inch thick with the rolling pin
and make into small rolls. Place these rolls close together in the pan,
brush over with milk and let rise until very light. Bake in a quick
oven.

SWEETBREADS STEWED WHITE.
Jewish Recipes
After soaking and blanching, stew them in veal gravy, and season with
celery, pepper, salt, nutmeg, a little mace, and a piece of lemon
peel, they should be served with a fine white sauce, the gravy in
which they are stewed will form the basis for it, with the addition
of yolks of eggs and mushroom essence; French cooks would adopt the
_veloute_ or _bechamel_ sauce; Jerusalem artichokes cut the size of
button mushrooms, are a suitable accompaniment as a garnish.

CHICKEN PUDDING.
Jewish Recipes
Line a basin with a good beef-suet paste, and fill it with chicken,
prepared in the following way: cut up a small chicken, lightly fry the
pieces, then place them in a stew-pan, with thin slices of _chorissa_,
or, if at hand, slices of smoked veal, add enough good beef gravy to
cover them; season with mushroom essence or powder, pepper, salt, and
a very small quantity of nutmeg, and mace; simmer gently for a quarter
of an hour, and fill the pudding; pour over part of the gravy and keep
the rest to be poured over the pudding when served in the dish. The
pudding, when filled, must be covered closely with the paste, the
ends of which should be wetted with a paste brush to make it adhere
closely.

FRICANDEAU OF VEAL.
Jewish Recipes
Take a piece from the shoulder, about three to four pounds, trim it
and form it into a well shaped even piece, the surface of which should
be quite smooth; _pique_ it thickly, put it into a stewpan with a
couple of onions, a carrot sliced, sweet herbs, two or three bay
leaves, a large piece of _chorissa_ or a slice of the root of a tongue
smoked, a little whole pepper and salt; cover it with a gravy made
from the trimmings of the veal, and stew till extremely tender, which
