Hon to Make Delicious Biscuits

For biscuits let us select pastry flour,
q good sweet shortening, double-raise
baking powder and sweet milk or water.
Milk Is to be preferred, as it browns
the biscuits better. First, measure cor
recuy and sift together at least three
times, the flour, salt and baking powder.
It is important to blend the baking pow
der thoroughly with the -four. Then
with fork or the finger tips work the
shortening thoroughly into tho -four and
mix to a soft dough with the milk or
water-just as soft as can be handled.
Roll out very lightly, or better, spread
and pat the dough out thin with the
hands. Handle as little as possible after
wetting. Then cut in small shapes for
the oven, for small biscuits are very
much better than large ones. If baked
quickly, as biscuits should be, a large
biscuit does not get the proper heat to
raise and bake the center of the biscuit.
A small biscuit raises perfectly, bakes
better, is more palatable, and ID easier
to digest.
Biscuits should always be baked on
sheet or in very shallow pan, as the
biscuits should be above the sides of tho
pan in order to have the heat get to
them quickly. If baked>in q deep pan
the sides shut off the heat, and the bis
cults are likely to flatten out and run
together and have heavy centers. Never

z
crowd biscuits In pan, but keep them
well apart, allowing passage between
them for heat. The oven should be very
hot, SO that the biscuits may raise, bake
and brown nicely in about Is minutes.
/ mentioned above that double raise
baking powder should be used. This is
of especial importance with biscuits.
With the old fashioned single acting
baking powders it was necessary to have
theov ready SO that the biscuits could
beput in the moment they were mixed,
but with 4 C Baking Powder you can
mix your biscuits hours in advance il
you like, letting theh stand, and still
have perfect biscuit when raised. In
fact, it is entirely practical to mix q
batch of biscuits before supper, bake
what you want for that meal, and set
the remainder Of the dough away in the
ice box until morning, when you can
have freshly baked biscuits for break
fast without the loss Of q moments
time in mixing. That you can do this
with x c Baking Powder is due to the
fact that it is virtually blend of two
baking powders, one of which COM
mences to act as soon as the dough is
mixed, the other commencing as soon as
it is reached BY heat. The dough after
being mixed, will stay in partly leav-
ened condition for hours. Then when
the heat is applied it will finish raising.

Bread Flour ciad Pastry Flour
@UR mills make two kinds of flours:
4 j one from hard Spring wheat called

bread flour has larger percentage Of

when pressed tightly in the closed hand,
should feel soft and pack closely, retain
ing It's form after she hand is opened,

If, on the other hand, the flour seems dry
and harsh to the touch, and cannot be
pressed dry into form, it is bread flour,
and will give good results only when a
slow working leaven like yeast is used.
Pastry flour costs no more than bread
flour and it is so much better for cakes,

that it should be kept on hand and
