Stuffed Steak, page 35

Make a dressing as for chicken, spread it on the steak and roll it up and tie at the ends. Put it in a baking pan with pepper and salt; water to cover it.

Chicken Pie, page 45

Boil the chicken about half done, put plenty of water in the pot so you will have plenty of liquid. Make the crust with butter-milk and soda, but shorter than biscuit dough. Put crust in the pan, then the chicken, and make a thickening for the liquid and pour over the chicken. Pepper and salt to taste.

Oat Meal Pudding, page 136

Four eggs, half cup of sugar, table-spoonful of flour or corn starch well beaten with the eggs; a pint of sweet milk, enough cooked oat meal to make it stiff. Flavoring to taste.
