ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

‘Nannie.’—l have a genuine Scotch lecipe for barley meal scones, which I hope will suit you. It is for boiled scones. Put on a little milk and water and a small piece of butter in a pan—say two breakfast cups altogether, and about one teaspoonf'ul of butter. When it boils stir in barley meal like you were making porridge till it is quite thick. Take it from the tire, and take a spoonful and knead it, and roll it out quite thinly; put it on the griddle, and cut it in four ; fire on both sides, a few minutes will do, then proceed to another. It is best to keep the pan with the mixture covered till all is used up.

Sponge Cake, Large Size (Bella Mia).—B eggs, 11b white sugar 11b fine flour, | teacup milk, 1 large teaspoonful baking powder. Put eggs and sugar in a basin and whisk them either with a good whisk or two forks for fifteen to twenty minutes, then sift in the flower and stir very gently, then the milk, and then the baking powder. Mix all well but gently with a spoon. Butter and flour a cake-pan, and bake gently till firm.
