DO NOT BUY BAKING POWDER LOOSE OR IN BULK.— (What is meant by loose is
weighed out in any quantity asked for.) All examinations made hy Boards of Health, Govern-
ment Chemists, and others, prove loose powders are, almost without exception, made from
alum, and at a cost of about one tenth of what a pure Cream Tartar powder, like the “ Royai. ”
Baking Powder, can he made for. The argument that the consumer will save, in the purchase
of such poisonous stuff, the cost of can, label, etc., is used simply to enable the seller to make
a larger profit in selling an alum hulk, or loose, powder at the expense of the unsuspecting
consumer, than can be made by selling the absolutely pure “ Royal ” brand. Remember this,
and insist on getting the “ Royal ” in cans.
Do not buy alum baking powders under any circumstances.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
MUST BE CAREFULLY READ BY EVERY ONE USING THIS BOOK
Hints on baking. — To achieve perfect success, the cook must use discrimination and
care. Some flour requires more water, or milk, than others ; so that the quantity
may have to be varied to make dough of a proper consistency. Different bakings will
vary as to time and heat required, and should, therefore, be examined occasionally. To
ascertain whether the bread is sufficiently done in the center of the loaf or cake, thrust a clean
straw or long thin splinter into it. If done, there will be no dough on it when drawn out.
Measure the flour, and he careful to mix with it the baking powder in a dry state, and before sift-
itig. You can always substitute water for milk, or milk for water ; butter for lard, or lard for
butter. The number of eggs may be increased or diminished, or, in plainer cake, etc. , dispensed
with entirely. Where fewer eggs are used than directed, always use a little more baking
powder. Never use sour milk.
When about to cut new bread or cake, heat the knife very hot; this will prevent its
crumbling.
