GENERAL DIRECTIONS


Where shortening is mentioned in the recipes it is understood that
butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or
vegetable oil may be used.


MEASUREMENTS

All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this
book are level.

The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into
fourths and thirds.

To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess
with back of knife.

One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.

Sift flour before measuring.


BAKING

Much depends upon the baking. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared
is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough. Regulate the
oven carefully before mixing the ingredients.

When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan.
A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another
indication that the cake is baked.


TABLE OF EQUIVALENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

1 saltspoon = 1/4 teaspoon
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
16 tablespoons = 1 cup
2 cups = 1 pint
2 pints = 1 quart
4 cups = 1 quart
2 cups granulated sugar = 1 pound
4 cups flour = 1 pound
2 cups butter = 1 pound
2 tablespoons butter = 1 ounce
2 tablespoons liquid = 1 ounce
4 tablespoons flour = 1 ounce
1 square unsweetened chocolate = 1 ounce
3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa = 1 ounce




BREADS, BISCUITS AND ROLLS


Dr. Price's Baking Powder may be used instead of yeast to leaven
bread. It does precisely the same work; that is, raises the dough,
making it porous and spongy. The great advantage of bread made by this
method is in time saved, as it can be mixed and baked in less than two
hours. Milk bread needs little or no shortening, and less flour is
required than when water is used. Sift flour before measuring, and use
level measurements for all materials.


BAKING POWDER BREAD

4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
7 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
1 medium-sized, cold, boiled potato
Milk (water may be used)

Sift thoroughly together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder, rub in
potato; add sufficient liquid to mix rapidly and smoothly into soft
dough. This will require about one pint of liquid. Turn at once into
greased loaf pan, smooth top with knife dipped in melted butter, and
allow to stand in warm place about 30 minutes. Bake in moderate oven
about one hour. When done take from pan, moisten top slightly with
cold water and allow to cool before putting away.


BOSTON BROWN BREAD

1 cup entire wheat or graham flour
1 cup corn meal
1 cup rye meal or ground rolled oats
1 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
3/4 cup molasses
1-1/3 cups milk

Mix thoroughly dry ingredients; add molasses to milk, and add; beat
thoroughly and put into greased moulds 2/3 full. Steam 3-1/2 hours;
remove covers and bake until top is dry.


CORN BREAD

1 cup corn meal
1 cup flour
4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons shortening

Mix and sift dry ingredients; add milk, beaten egg, and melted
shortening; beat well and pour into greased shallow pan. Bake in hot
oven about 25 minutes.


SPIDER CORN BREAD

1 egg
1-3/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup corn meal
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
1 tablespoon shortening

Beat egg and add one cup milk; stir in sugar, corn meal, flour, salt
and baking powder which have been sifted together; turn into frying
pan in which shortening has been melted; pour on remainder of milk,
but do not stir. Bake about 25 minutes in hot oven. There should be a
line of creamy custard through the bread. Cut into triangles and
serve.


GRAHAM BREAD

1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups graham flour
4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1 egg
1-1/2 cups liquid (1/2 water and 1/2 milk)
2 tablespoons sugar or molasses

Mix flour, graham flour, baking powder and salt together; rub in
shortening; beat egg and add with sugar or molasses to liquid; stir
into dry mixture and beat well; add more milk if necessary to make a
drop batter. Put into greased loaf pan, smooth with knife dipped in
cold water. Bake about one hour in moderate oven.


NUT OR RAISIN BREAD

PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2/3 cup peanut butter or 1/2 cup finely ground peanuts

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add milk to peanut
butter or peanuts, blend well and add to dry ingredients; mix
thoroughly. Bake in greased loaf pan in slow oven 45 to 50 minutes.
This is best when a day old. It makes delicious sandwiches cut in thin
slices and filled with either cream cheese or lettuce and mayonnaise.


PRUNE OR DATE BREAD

1 cup prunes or dates
2-1/2 a cups graham flour; or 1 cup flour and 1-1/2 cups graham flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

divide into small pieces: form each by hand into short, rather thick
tapering rolls; place on greased pans and allow to stand in warm place
15 to 20 minutes; brush with milk. Bake in very hot oven. When almost
baked brush again with melted butter. Bake 10 minutes longer and serve
hot. If a glazed finish is desired, before taking from oven brush over
with yolk of egg which has been mixed, with a little cold water.

These rolls make excellent sandwiches, using for fillings either
lettuce and mayonnaise, sliced or chopped ham, chopped seasoned
cucumbers, egg and mayonnaise with a very little chopped onion and
parsley, or other filling desired.
