THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER IS ABSOLUTELY PURE. 22 THE ROYAL BAKER AND PASTRY COOK Doughnuts and Crullers These old-fashioned “fried cakes,” as they used to be called, need the addition of Royal Baking Powder to make them light. By its use less shortening is necessary and the cakes are more tender and far more digestible. After it is mixed with the flour the other ingredients are added and the dough quickly rolled out, cut, and at once cooked. The fat should be in a deep pot (to obviate any danger of boiling over), and should be of suffi- cient depth to cover the dough when flrst dropped in. It should be smoking hot, or the dough will absorb grease and be soggy. Not more than half a dozen should be dropped in at one time, or the fat will be unduly cooled and some of the cakes submerged during the entire cooking ; in which case the cakes when cooked will be greasy and not light. One or two pieces of dough should be cooked flrst as testers. When done the cakes should be drained on unglazed paper, then rolled in pow- dered sugar.
