  1. (a) Potatoe-cakes are made with flour, a pinch of salt, and bread-soda. Some use butter-milk, but the way they made them in olden times was:- they used no butter-milk, they boiled the potatoes, peeled them, then mashed them up. They put a pinch of salt and bread-soda in them and kept putting in the flour, kneading all the time until they had enough flour in. It is much easier to make them by putting in a small supply of butter-milk as the kneading is not so heavy. Next heat the pan, shake on some flour, and bake until each side is brown. It does not take long.
