Some HeLofuI Suggestions

Mullins would be served on many more
breakfast tables if this meal were not
prepared so hurriedly that there is not time
enough to stir up mullins and bake them.
With X G double-raise baking powder, the
batter may be stirred up The night before
and if set in 3 cool place, it Nill remain
in a partially leavened condition all night,
and thsraising win be completed when put
in the oven in the morning. No difference
viii be noticed between mullins mixed the
night before and those mixed Immediately
before baking. This should not be
attempted however, with any of the old
fashioned single-acting baking powders.
The old fashioned way was to bake
mullins in hot oven, bu6 this makes .
thick heavy crust and sogg center,
which is unpalatable and hard to digest.
The proper and healthful way to bake
mullins is to start the oven at low
Temperature, just as for baking cakes.
When the mullins come up to the top of the
pan. the heat should be raised, and they
should be baked until crisp crust IS
formed. This crust viii be thin. and the
centers viii be found light and fluffy. but
thoroughly baked.
Always sift the -four and baking powder
together at least three times, no matter
what kind of pastry is to be made. This
win insure its rising evenly and the -four
is Hghtened by having Fir sifted into it.
Either water or milk may be used for
mullins. Milk win make the richer muffin
and brown better, but water viii answer
the purpose very nicely when milk Is not
to be had.
A most excellent spread for mullins,
hot biscuits and hot cakes is made by
Dreaming together about equal parts Of
butter and honey either strained or in the
comb. If the butter is solid it viii work up
70 about the consistency Of hard sauce and
it is simply delicious

A great many housewives have had
trouble in making rich, light, moist mullins
without their falling, and to overcome this,
they have resorted 10 making the batter so
stiff that when baked, the mullins are very
dry. A muffin can be made almost as
light and just as palatable as a pop-over'
but to make light, moist muffin which is
not soggy in the center, a double-ralse
baking powder such as K G must be used,
X c Baking Powder has two separate and
distinct raises: one when moisture is
added, and the other when heat is applied
SO that the raising is sustained until the
muffin is baked through, and all danger OF
falling and becoming soggy is past
Like biscuits, the softer the dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the mullins that
come out of it.
