Light, laky, biscuits, temptingly
Drowned, always receive a smiling
welcome at the table. But have you
ever tried any variations of your stand
ard recipe? | have experimental and
have concocted some goodies that dis
appear like cake, writes a contributor
to the Woman's World. They are de.
licious not only for the home meal
but for lunches. And the housekeep-
er finds them just the thing to serve
with chocolate as light appetizing re.
freshments to guests.
Orange two-story biscuits are my
own idea. To make them, sift togeth-
er two cupfuls of bread -four, two tea,
spoonfuls baking powder, half a tea
spoonful salt and a Tablespoonful of
sugar Beat one entire egg and add
two-thirds of cupful OF sweet milk
for wetting the dough No shorten
ing Is used. Knead the dough lightly
and roll thinner than biscuits are usu-
ally made. Cut the rounds with a
cookie cutter or the open end of a
pound baking powder can. From half
OF the rounds remove the centers
with a smaller cutter Spread the
whole rounds with melted butter, lay
one Of the dough rings on each and
fill the centers with stiff orange mar
malade before baking.
Nut-drop biscuits were my next sue
cessful trial at making goodies" For
them, sift together a pint of flour,
half teaspoonful of salt and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder. Rub in
generous tablespoonful Of butter
and stir to the consistency OF thick
batter, using sweet milk to moisten.
Add half a cupful of chopped nuts and
drop the dough with a spoon upon
creased baking sheet, leaving an
inch between drops" for swelling.
Sandwich biscuits require four cup
fuls OF -four. four tablespoonfuls OF
baking powder, a teasponful Of salt
two tablespoonfuls Of meat drippings
half cupful Of milk, and water to
complete the wetting to the ordinary
biscuit consistency. Roll the dough
thin. like pie crust. cut, spread hall
the rounds with butter. add a filling
OF seasoned, finely ground. cooked
ham, then lay on the covers and bake
Clover biscuits are dainty mouth
fuls. Use any standard recipe fol-
regular biscuit dough. Cut into
rounds an inch In diameter. Il use
the center Of my round loaf cake pan
inverted, as a cutter.) Place the tiny
rounds in threes in creased gem CAKE
pans and glaze the tops with egi
yolk mixed with little water. WheI
baked. the group OF three from eacl
mold will come out in trefoil shape
They are nice to serve with cheese

season Of the year. Their Ingredient

and nutmeg, one tablespoonful finel.
chopped citron or candied orang
peel, half a cupful OF currants, on,
egg, and sweet milk to make firm

more moisture than others, so tn

gashes at right angles across the tol
Of each, and moisten the tops witt
