DESSERTS

| Much depends upon the baking.
Many cakes, otherwise perfectly prepared are spoiled because the oven is
too hot or not hot enough. Regulate the oven carefully before mixing the
ingredients.
When making biscuits or bread
with baking powder or soda and cream of tartar, the oven should be prepared
first; the dough handled quickly and put into the oven immediately, as
soon as it becomes the proper lightness, to ensure good success. If the
oven is too slow, the article baked will be heavy and hard.
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. |

OLD FASHIONED WARM BREADS
AND ROLLS FOR BREAKFAST
Dough after it has become
once sufficiently raised and perfectly light, cannot afterwards be injured
by setting aside in any cold place where it cannot freeze; therefore, biscuits,
rolls, etc., can be made late the day before wanted for breakfast. Prepare
them ready for baking by molding them out late in the evening; lay them
a little apart on buttered tins; cover the tins with a cloth, then fold
around that a plastic bag, so as to exclude the air, as that has a tendency
to cause the crust to be hard and thick when baked. The best place is to
place them in the refrigerator, then all you have to do in the morning
(an hour before breakfast time, and while the oven is heating) is to bring
them from the refrigerator, take off the cloth and warm it, and place it
over them again; then set the tins in a warm place. This will give them
time to rise and bake when needed. If these directions are followed, you
will find it makes no difference with their lightness and goodness, and
you can always be sure of warm raised biscuits for breakfast in one hour's
time. |
