POTATO   SCONES

-| lb Mashed Potatoes               11 tablespoons Dripping

2 heaped tablespoons Flour       a pinch of Salt
£ teaspoon Baking-powder        i tablespoon Sugar (if liked,

but not necessary)

Rub the dripping into the flour, add the baking-powder, salt and
sugar, and mashed potatoes. Beat all together, and roll out very
thin. Cut in rounds, and place on a hot girdle or pan (greased).
Turn when brown underneath, and cook on the other side. A
little oatmeal or rolled oats instead of flour is an improvement.

SWEET   ORANGE   MARMALADE

4 Sweet Oranges                      3 Ib. Preserving or Loaf Sugar

2 Lemons                                 3 pts Water

Halve the oranges, cutting across the sections so that the juice
can be squeezed out and the pips will be mostly on the surface.
Put the juice in a small basin, and the pips in another one, and
pour over them just a very little boiling water. Set both aside
till next day.

Meantime, take what remains of the oranges and cut in half.
Cut them all up very fine. Now put this cut-up rind into a big
saucepan, add the 3 pints of water, and let it stand for at least 18
hours. Then put it on to boil gently till the rind with the pith attach-
ed is tender and transparent. Add the 3 lb. of sugar and, if time
permits, allow all this to stand for a further 12 hours; the second
standing is not, however, absolutely necessary. Add to the con-
tents of the saucepan the orange-juice and the liquid strained
from the pips, and boil the whole very quickly till the marmalade
sets, stirring all the time.

Meat Dishes

BRAWN   FROM   SHEEP'S   HEAD

Cut up the meat from the cooked sheep's head into neat dice;
skin and slice the tongue. Sprinkle the meat with seasoning, and
put it into a tin. or mould that has been rinsed in cold water.
Fill the tin quite full, then pour a little of the broth over the
meat. Place a plate with a weight on the top of the tin, and stand
it in a cool place till the following day.

BACON   ROLL

Make some plain pastry. Roll out and spread thickly with minced
or chopped bacon or pickled pork (the end of a piece of boiled
bacon or knuckle of pork). Roll up and bake in a hot oven for
1 hour.
