Economy Hints

When making junket, to avoid having so much whey left, an economical method is to pour it, while warm, into small, custard glasses. Grate nutmeg over each one. To make bacon rashers go twice as far, try this way. When frying them, after cutting off the rind, dip each rasher in flour, and then fry quickly. This prevents the fat running out. After boiling salt beef, leave three carrots in the liquid till cold. The carrots take up the salt, and the liquid can then be used for soup. A novel way of using up stale cake is to cut it in strips. These make splendid substitutes for the expensive lady fingers to line moulds when you want to make a fruit charlotte. Another idea is to steam the cake and serve it as a hot pudding with a sauce.
