MRS. BEDFORD'S CHOCOLATE CRULLERS
Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter and one-half of a cupful of sugar;
gradually add the beaten yolks of three eggs and one and one-half
cupfuls more of sugar, one cupful of sour milk, one teaspoonful of
vanilla, two ounces of chocolate grated and melted over hot water,
one-third of a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in one-half of a
teaspoonful of boiling water, the whites of the eggs whipped to a stiff
froth, and sufficient sifted flour to make a soft dough. Roll out, cut
into oblongs; divide each into three strips, leaving the dough united at
one end. Braid loosely, pinch the ends together and cook until
golden-brown in smoking-hot fat.--_Mrs. Cornelia C. Bedford._

and a tiny pinch of salt and boil three minutes longer. Take from the
