CAKES AND COOKIES
FAT CAKES Take 3 tincupfuls of sweet cream, 1 tincupful of sour cream, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoonful of soda, 2 tablespoonfuls of salt, 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Use 8 tincupfuls of flour, or enough to make a dough stiff enough to handle without sticking to the fingers. Then roll out in squares and fry in hot lard. Cut dough with cake cutter, using something round to cut holes in the middle of the round cakes. Make diamond shaped holes in the square cakes.
