SCOTCH CAKE.

Stir to a cream one pound sugar, three-quarters pound butter,
add the grated rind and juice of a lemon ; separate the whites
and yolks of nine eggs and beat each to a froth; stir into the
cake, and add one pound sifted flour ; stir fifteen minutes, and
just before putting into cake-pans, which must be lined with
buttered paper, add one pound raisins ; spice to taste, arid bake
one hour.

CELERY SAUCE.

Cut up a large bunch of celery into small pieces ; use only
that which is blanched. Put it into a pint of water and boil
until it is tender; then add a teaspoonful of flour and a lump
of butter the size of an egg, mixed well together ; season with
salt and pepper, and stir constantly until taken from the tire. It
is very nice with boiled poultry.

MAIDS OF HONOR.

Beat one pound powdered loaf sugar with the yolks of twelve
eggs in a mortar, one ounce blanched sweet almonds, and twelve
bitter, and four tablespoonfuls of orange-flower water ; the
almonds must be mixed in just before the patty-pans are filled.
Line your patty-pans with good puff-paste, put in the mixture,
and bake in a moderately-heated oven.
