A practical domestic cookery manual presents hundreds of recipes and step-by-step instructions centered on economy and household efficiency. It combines detailed preparations for fish, meats, poultry, pies, soups, sauces, pickles, stews, salads, pastries, puddings, sweets, fruits, ices, cakes, bread and yeast, plus guidance on dairy, home brewing, care of the sick and frugal cooking for the poor. Prefatory chapters advise on household accounts, purchasing, storing, and supervising servants; many recipes include minute techniques intended for private families rather than professional kitchens.
With a quarter of a peck of fine flour mix the yelks of three and whites of two eggs, beaten and strained, a little salt, half a pint of good yeast that is not bitter, and as much milk, made a little warm, as will work into a thin light dough. Stir it about, but do not knead it. Have ready three quart wooden dishes, divide the dough among them, set to rise, then turn them out into the oven, which must be quick. Rasp when done.
