CAKES AND COOKIES
HERMITS (#1 and #2)
Hermits #1
Take 2 cups of brown sugar, 1 cup of butter or lard, 1 cup of raisins seeded and chopped, 3 eggs, 1/2 nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoonful each of cinnamon and cloves, 1 teaspoonful of soda dissolved in 1/2 cup of sweet milk, flour enough to roll without sticking. Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut with round cake cutter; bake in a rather quick oven. These will keep a month.

Hermits #2
Take 2 cups of "C" sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of sweet milk, 1 cup of chopped raisins, 1 cup of chopped nuts, 1 teaspoonful of soda, 1 teaspoonful of cinnamon and 1 teaspoonful of cloves. Mix as stiff as possible, just so it can be stirred with a spoon. A teaspoonful of dough makes 1 goodsized cake. Frost with boiled icing.
