Tested Recipes for Dain-
ties That Will Tickle
the Palate-Econony
in Baking The Old
Beaten Biscuit-Muf-
fins and Wafhes.

BY using prepared flour hot biscuits
and mullins can be made for breakfast
without the trouble OF rising early. The
-four will keep indefinitely in glass jars
il tightly covered. Keep three jars.
one for white flour mixture. from which
make wheat mullins, crop biscuits and
pancakes: one for corn bread and one
for graham mullins. The proportion is
one cup of -four sifted with one heaping
teaspoon of baking powder. For corn
bread, one-half cup of cornmeal and
one-half cup of white flour sifted with
one heaping teaspoonful of baking pow
der. For the graham mixture. one-half
cup of graham -four and one -half cup of
white flour sifted with one heaping tea
spoonful of baking powder. Any recipe
may be followed for the. other ingre-
dents. This method is great time
saver.
Economy in biscuit t-naking-Put the
following ingredients into one quart of
flour and sift: One level teaspoon of
salt, one-half teaspoon of baking pow
der. one level teaspoon of soda and lard
the size of an egg. Now here is where
the economy comes in: Put one quart
Of buttermilk into large earthern
pitCner. Use the amount OF Dutter-
milk required to make up your biscuits.
After you have made up your biscuits
drop piece of biscuit dough one-half
as large as your fist or more into the
rest of the buttermilk and add as much
hot water to the buttermilk as you
would use to make up bread. Cover the
pitcher and place it in the iceboN or
other cold place. Next day stir well
and make up your biscuits or rolls, re-
peating the same process of adding
dough and water for the next day. Be-
gin this mixture afresh every few
weeks. 1t will give your biscuits a
light. spongy taste. and is excellent for
batter cakes and waff1es. II this exact
process is followed you will never fail
on biscuits and will have to buy but lit
tie buttermilk.
To make biscuits break open even
ly, roll the dough about half as thick
as usual, fold over. run the rolling
pin over once. then cut with a biscuit
cutter. IL you wish to- reheat rolls
or cold biscuits, roll them up in wet
paper. place in a pan and let them
remain in a hot oven until the paper
scorches. Heated in this way, they
will be almost as good as freshly
baked rolls. This is a good way to
heat up bakers rolls also.
