MY OWN RECIPES
Every housekeeper has some tried and favorite recipes
of her own, which she would like to have in a convenient
place for reference. For this purpose, the following blank
pages are included in "Snowdrift Secrets."
Write or paste in your best recipes and remember that
Snowdrift should be used wherever butter or lard is named
in the old recipe. Snowdrift is all shortening and contains
no salt or water, as butter does. Therefore use a third less
Snowdrift and add a little salt.
