GOOD RESULTS In
USING SOUR CREAM
Makes Excellent Johnny Cake, Muf-
fms, and Ginger
Bread.

| Perhaps no ingredient is so little un-
derstood by the modern housewife as
sour cream; and yet some of the most
delicious things ever eaten can be made
from IT. 1t was illustrated not long ago
| in a cooking class that very delicious
ice cream could be made of sour cream.
When the girls were ready to make their
| ice cream they discovered that the cream
had turned or soured during the night
Measuring the cream. the teacher added
very scant teaspoonful of soda for each
pint and they then made the ice cream
as usual The result could not have
been told from that made from sweet
cream. Cream slightly sour can also be
whipped and used in mayonnsise. and
the mixture is delicious on salads.
