The Cinnamon Roll Simplified
Certified Method for Making the Delicate
Pro0ed by Expert Cooks Good housekeeping Institute

The first step in making them
is to measure and sift together two
cupfuIs of sifted-bread flour, four
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, and one
teaspoonful of salt. Add two table
spoonfuls of shortening and work
in. thoroughly, using either two
knives in the. cutting motion, or the
fingertips in quick movements. The
latter method should be adopted only
by the experienced, for the dough
must be kept as cold as possible.
The mass should now resemble
coarse meal.
Then add gradually, mixing care
fully with a spatula, enough milk
to make soft Gough-yet one
which can be handled easily. About
three-fourths cupful of milk will
probably be needed, although the
exact amount cannot be stated. as
flours vary in the amount of mois-
ture they will absorb.
Turn the dough out on a we'll
floured board; then either pat with
the fingers or roll lightly until you
have an oblong sheet about one
fourth of an inch in thickness and
twice as long as it is wide, keep.
ing the edges as straight as pos
sible. Have ready about two table
Spoonfuls of butter which has been
softened by working with a wooden
spoon. Spread this lightly and
evenly over the surface of the
dough, using a flexible spatula.

good choice. Select such vegetables

found, however. that other. foods,
such as. tomatoes, corn and peas,
which require short cooking, are
not impaired when left in the

that YOU may cook these with

fore the vegetables were put into

various foods in the electric fire

piled with those cookers which the
institute has approved carry such
complete directions. These include
instructions for time Of. preheating,
cooking temperatures, use OF racks.
and the arrangement Of various
dishes in the cooker.
If the space in the cooker is
taken up by the meat and vege-
tables, arrange to serve a dessert
which can be cooked beforehand
and served cold, such as cake,
blanc-mange, or gelatine, or one
which requires little or no cooking.

"A word with regard to the use
of YOUR cooker. If, when baking
such foods as bread or cake. which
REQUIRES a dry heat, you find
L
ing. leave the lid of the cooker un-
clamped. If your cooker has the
exposed element and you have
used it for roasting fowl or meat
clean it thoroughly and allow it to
heat for thirty minutes. with the
cover UP, before using it agin. This
will prevent the next food cooked
in it from having the peculiar
taste and odor due to any decom-
rcsed fat on the hot wires.
Experiment with your cooker
and learn its possibilities. for II
las many. When first learning to
use it. raise the cover and look at
your food occasionally. This will
mean some loss of heat. but until
you are thoroughly familiar with
the temperature and length of time
needed with your particular cur
rent, it is by far the safest way.
Remember it is no harder and not
much different from learning how
to use a new range with which
you are rot familiar.

FOR their summer cottages, where
outdoor activities mean much time

the problem of the easiest and

Any good fireless cooker, electric

housekeeper, whether she remains
in town through the hot months or
goes to the country. Because it is

may be used exactly as you use the
oven OF your range for baking
breads. cakes, and pies, and for
roasting meat; or it may be used
for foods which can be cooked
slowly for several hours at lower

When using the cooker as an
oven, the heat Is left on during
most Of the cooking process in
order to maintain the higher tenn

attention must be given it as for
