Baking HELPS

Select materials with great care. The
best Of everything is always the cheapest.
To have perfect finished product we
must first have good material for our
foundation. In selecting materials for
baking, first get high grade baking
powder, for unless properly leavened,
food is not palatable. A high grade bak-
ing powder is not necessarily a high priced
one. K G Baking Powder is medium in
price, but of the highest quality, made of
the best and purest of materials properly
combined to produce the best possible
results.
For cakes and pastries soft wheat
pastry -four is preferable. To determine
soft wheat from bread, or hard wheat
flour, press it tightly in the hand; if the
-four stays packed in a mass showing the
imprints of the fingers, it is pastry fourS
lif it falls through the fingers sandy, it is
a bread flour, and should be used only
with yeast.
Shortening must be fresh and sweet.
Sugar should always be cane sugar.
Water is equally good as milk in all
articles where a large amount of sugar
Is used, except for cookies.
Larger masses of dough require longer
time for rising and baking.
Bear in mind that baking rules are as
important as measuring rules. Do not
bake cakes, pudding and such pastries
as short cake, dumplings and meat rolls
with hot fire at the start. Have slow
oven until the dough doubles IN bulks
then increase heat to bake and brown. 81
Biscuits, cut cookies and pie pastry
require a hot oven.
Have food thoroughly cooked. Half
cooked pastries are hard to digest and
injurious, better to over-bake than UNDER
bake.
