There was one little recipe in Margaret's book which she thought must be
meant for the smallest girl who ever tried to cook, it was so easy. But the
little muffins were good enough for grown people to like. This was it:
Barneys
4 cups of whole wheat flour.
3 teaspoonfuls of baking-powder.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
Enough water to make it seem like cake batter.
Drop with a spoon into hot buttered muffin-pans, and bake in a hot oven
about fifteen minutes.
Bridget had to show Margaret what was meant by a "cake batter,'' but after
she had seen once just how thick that was, she could always tell in a minute
when she had put in water enough.
