BAKING DAY.
Observation-Disclosures.

To make a jelly cream pie line tin
with a richrcrust, spread it with lay
er of raspberry jam and cover with a
thick layer of whipped cream.
Recipe For Quick Biscuit.-Mix and
sift two cupfuls of -four, four teaspoon
fuls of baking powder and one-half
teaspoonful of salt. Work in two ia
blespoonfuls of butter, using the finger
tips, and then add gradually, using a
case knife, seven-eighths of cupful
of milk. Drop by spoonfuls in but
tered pan one-half inch apart and bake
in hot oven ten minutes.
Pastry should be made in cool
place If possible The hands, utensils
and ingredients should be kept cold or
the pastry becomes heavy. Rub in the
shortening with the tips of the fingers.
When adding the water do it slowly
and carefully so as to avoid making the
pastry too dry or too moist. If too dry
it will be chippy and if too wet it will
be heavy and sodden. Handle it as lit
tie as possible and use the rolling pin
lightly and as seldom as possible. If
baked in very hot oven it will expand
and thus become light.
