The fun of cooking; a story for boys and girls . e on top. Mix 1/2 teaspoonful of salt. y^ teaspoonful of tablespoonful of molasses or sugar. % teaspoonful of dry this all over the beans and cover the pan; put inthe oven, and bake at least two hours; uncover and brownduring the last twenty minutes. If the beans get very dry,pour on half a cup of boiling water when they are halfdone. Aha! said Father Blair, as he put the panin the oven when they were ready to bake. Those will be simply fine. Now we could havemade them by putting them in a kettle over thefire and baking them so, or we could have buriedthe kettle in a hole in the ashes; but they arereally better done in an oven if one happens tohave one. And, anyway, I needed a stove tobake biscuit in, so that s why I got one. I thinkwe will make some for supper, too, and put themin when the beans come out. The name of theone big biscuit I m going to make to-night is CAMPERS BREAD 1^/2 pints of flour. 1^ rounded teaspoonfuls of teaspoonful of IN CAMP 147 2 rounded teaspoonfuls of any kind of fat (lard is best).1/2 pint of cold the baking-powder and salt in the flour; mix welland then rub in the lard till there are no lumps left and itdoes not stick to the pan; add the water, a little at a time,and stir with the spoon till smooth. Grease a pan and putthe dough in in rather a thin layer; smooth the top andbake, till, when you put in a sliver of wood, it comes outclean. Eat while warm; do not cut, but break intopieces. *Now I could have cooked this just as I couldhave cooked the beans, without the oven. Icould have put it in the frying-pan in a bed ofhot ashes and covered it and put ashes on topand let it cook till done; but it s better to cookit this way if you can, because it s lighter andbrowner. When you want regular biscuits, allyou do is to make the dough into little balls,and be sure you put flour on your hands beforeyou try it, Jack, or you 11 get into an awfu
