DUTCH STRAWBERRY SHORT
CAKE; GAMES FOR SHOWER;
ICEBOX ROLLS.
From Mrs. G. H. S., Chevy Chase,
Md
I noticed letter In the RICH last
night requesting further informa-
ton about a recipe I sent in about
a year ago for Dutch strawberry
shortcake. The information wanted
was about part two, or the meringue
mixture. My only suggestion would
be that the lady is using too hot an
oven. This should be baked like any
meringue, that is, slowly. 1 have
found that if bake meringue in
a hot oven 1t gets brown before it is
cooked through, which makes it fall.
l hope this will answer the question.
If Mrs. H. j., Arlington, wants to
call me at WI. 3841 1 will help her
further if I can.
Requested by Mrs. A. H. L., Airing
ton: Games to be played at shower
for brlde-to-be. Here's one which
is scrambled names of great lovers
and is lot of fun.

:. Name of bride and groom scrambled
A prize should be given for the first one
TO get them all unscrambled in a given
I should like also to send in my
recipe for foolproof icebOx rolls. II
tried many recipes, but this one has
never failed and they are always
delicious.
Into mixing bowl put "a cup
oi'oi oSAiiil6, u Sup sugar, i IdDlc-
spoon salt Heat cups of water
until hot enough to melt the short
ening and add to the first ingredi-
ents. Let cool. Add yeast cakes,
crumbled, 3 unbeaten eggs and beat
with an eggbeater. Add four cups
of all-purpose flour and beat Wig
orously. Last. add az cups
flour and blend in thoroughly.
Let stand for l hour to rise. It
can then be made into rolls or can
be stored in the icebox until wanted.
1t must be made out hours before
baking. 1t will be little bit sticky,
but do not knead. l made Parker
House, clover leaf rolls, or just plain
round rolls, also if rolled into large
sheet and covered with melted mar
garine, cinnamon, sugar and white
raisinS makes super coffee cake
The entire recipe makes about 7
dozen small rolls. I make up half
sometimes using eggs. In these
short meat supply days add quite
a bit to vegetable plate or egg or
fish dishes The dough may be
kept several days if covered with
waxed paper and placed in a heavy
mixing bowl.
