GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Where shortening is mentioned in the recipes it is understood that
butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or vegetable
oil may be used.
MEASUREMENTS
All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this book
are level.
The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into
fourths and thirds.
To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess
with back of knife.
One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.
Sift flour before measuring.
BAKING
Much depends upon the baking. Many a cake otherwise perfectly
prepared is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough.
Regulate the oven carefully before mixing the ingredients.
When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan. A
light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another indication
that the cake is baked.

BREADS, BISCUITS AND ROLLS
Dr. Price's Baking Powder may be used instead of yeast to leaven bread.
It does precisely the same work; that is, raises the dough, making it
porous and spongy. The great advantage of bread made by this method
is in time saved, as it can be mixed and baked in less than two hours.
Milk bread needs little or no shortening, and less flour is required than
when water is used. Sift flour before measuring,
