The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1913-05-02
Things to Remember

The softer cookies are mixed the
lighter and more moist they will be.
To handle soft dough for rolling and
cutting, take only a small amount on
the board at time.
When very soft dough is to be rolled
and cut, always add little baking pow
der to flour used on the molding board
and the rolling pin, rs the flour alone
will tougher the dough,
To bake cookies use sheet or a shall
low pan and always bake at the top of
the oven. Never try to bake cookies in
a deep pan. The heat must get directly
at the cooky from the sides as well as
the top. If one does not have shallow
pan or cooky sheet, invert dripping
pan and use the bottom of it. Have a
moderate oven for cookies.
To bake Tea Cakes always use the slow
|oven until the cakes have doubled in
bulk. Then bake until done with the
hotter oven. If tea cakes mountain
up" and crack open it is an indication
they baked too quickly.
X C Baking Powder is excellent for
cookies. 1t is not always possible to
have enough oven room or enough shall
low pans to bake all the cookies at one
time. With X c it is perfectly safe to
mix as much batter as you wish and
bake as fast as convenient. The last
cookies baked will be equally as nice as
the first, due to the nature Of X G Bak-
ing Powder.
X is 80 made that 1t gives two dis
tinct raises-one out of the oven and
one in the oven. This double raise allows
food to remain out of the oven for hours
and still be light when baked and II also
makes the food much lighter than the
old fashioned baking powder. Test this
statement by making your favorite cake
with X G and note the difference in the
size of it when baked.
