Popovers.] In preparing all quick bread mixtures, pastry flour (see Bread Flour, p. 232) should be used. It should be sifted before measuring. Usually any other powdered ingredient, such as baking powder, soda, or spices, is added to the flour and mixed thoroughly (by sifting) into the other materials. Baking powder and soda need not be sifted before measuring, but should be stirred. Oven Temperatures. — Although temperature is determined usually by a thermometer, the thermometers on ovens do not always indicate temperature accurately. However, a chemical thermometer inserted in an oven is a satisfactory means of obtaining oven temperatures. If one has the use of an oven provided with a chemical thermometer in the school kitchen, tests may be obtained so that the tempera- ture of the oven in the home kitchen may be estimated. The tests are as follows: Heat the oven ; when it reaches a temperature of 375° F. (see footnote, p. 357), place a piece of white paper in the oven. After 5 minutes, remove the paper, note the color. Continue to heat the oven ; place paper in the oven at 400° F., 425° F., 450° F., and 455° F. Note the color of each piece of paper. The temperature for baking 194 THE COOKING OF FOODS small caked, muffins, biscuits, and layer cakes varies from 425° F. to 450° F. ; for loaf bread or cake, 375° F. to 400° F. Oven temperatures may be estimated also as follows: (a) note the number of minutes required to change white paper, flour, or bread to a light brown or to a golden brown ; (b) note the number of "counts" (one count per second) that the hand may be held in the oven.
