Bread that is sour can be made into good breakfast cakes. Cut it in small pieces, and, if not wanted for immediate use, it can be kept a number of weeks by drying the pieces in a moderately hot oven; care must be taken that it does not burn. When you wish to make cakes for breakfast, soak the bread over night in cold wa- ter; in the morning, drain off all the water, mash the bread fine, and to every three pints put one teaspoon of salt, three eggs, one teaspoon of soda dissolved in milk, one pint of wheat or rye flour; add sufficient milk to enable you to fry them as you would buck- wheat cakes. If the flour which is used is mixed over night with a large spoon of yeast, the eggs may be omitted.
