The Frontier Woman — Mrs. Elaine Allen, of Bristow, Offers Number of Helpful Hints By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there all you Frontier folks! Hot rolls taste wonderful with any meal, but they are cer tain to wfin special praise in summertime when served with chilled salad plates. A cold | platter meal o f cheeses, vegetables and fruits needs something hot, j and feather -, light rolls are , the perfect accom p a n i ment. Yeast Blanche Spann leavened rolls ‘ y have a way of PMM keeping hung er away during the long after- J noon. These enriched rolls sat- ] isfy “hidden hunger” too, by providing essential B-vitamins, food iron and protein, as well as food energy. If you make a refrigerator roll dough on Monday, you can have hot rolls at luncheon or dinner for most of the week with a minimum of time and effort. Each day make your family think you’ve made some thing’ different by varying the shaping of the roll and by using different toppings such as pop pyseed, sesame seed, nuts, or a confectioners’ sugar icing. Here is a tested basic recipe for re frigerator rolls, with four var iations on the theme. REFRIGERATOR ROLLS Two packages yeast, com f>ressed or dry, one-half cup ukewarm water, one and one half cups milk, one-half cup su gar, two teaspoons salt, one- ■ fourth cup shortening, one egg, beaten, 5 and one-half to six cups sifted enriched flour. Soften yeast in lukewarm wa- j ter. Scald milk, add sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to luke-1 i warm. Add two cups flour and beat well. Add yeast and beat ! un egg. Blend thoroughly. Add 1 remaining flour to make a soft ! dough. Turn out on lightly floured i board and knead until smooth j and satiny. Place in lightly I greased bowl. Cover and let i rise in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees F) until doubled. Punch | down. Form into smooth ball. | Grease the surface lightly. Cov I er and put into refrigerator. When wanted, remove dough from refrigerator and punch, down. Mold at once in any de sired shape. Or, if preferred, let dough stand in warm room for an hour before molding. Place rolls on greased pans and let rise until doubled. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees F) 15 to 20 minutes. Makes about 2Vi doz en rolls. Here are several popular shapings for rolls. To make cres cents, roll part of dough into circular shape about one-fourth inch thick. Cut into wedges like a pie. Brush with melted butter or margarine and roll up, beginning at the wide end. Fas ten point on top and curve in to crescent shape. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled. Bake in moderately hot oven (425 de grees F) 15 to 20 minutes. Soft and buttery, Parker house rolls are always a fav orite. Roll dough about one fourth inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter. Brush with melted butter or margarine. Mark across center with dull side of knife. Fold and press edges together. Place on greas ed baked sheet, cover and let rise until doubled. Bake in moderately hot oven (425 de grees F) 15 to 20 minutes. Braided rolls offer interest ing variation to your basket of luncheon rolls. Roll dough out one-fourth inch thick and cut in strips six inches long and one half inch wide. Cross three strips in the middle and braid from center to each end. Press ends together and fold under. Place on greased baking sheet and let rise until doubled. Bake I in moderately hot oven (425 de grees Fl 15 to 20 minutes. Those pretty fantan rolls at your baker’s look complicated, j but they are really quite simple to shape. Roll dough into a thin rectangular sheet and brush it with melted butter. Cut into ! strips about one inch wide. Pile ! six or seven strips together, then cut in l^-inch pieces. Stand these pieces on end in greased muffin pans.. Let rise until light. Bake in moderately hot oven (425 degrees F) 15 to | 20 minutes. —tfw— Subscription Winners— Dear Mrs. Pease: It was a real treat to see The Frontier on Thursday. Here are some hints and a recipe which I hope will be helpful. Use a fork to remove seeds from grapefruit. This is not only the quickest but also pre vents bruising or loss of juice. When sweetening whipped cream use powdered sugar and the cream stands up bet ter and does not separate so easily. When making dumplings use a pyrex pie plate as a lid. Then you can see the progress of the dumplings. Be sure the lid fits tight. CARAMEL DUMPLINGS Two tablespoons of shorten ing, l'/i cups brown sugar (pack well), one-half cup boil ing water, one-eighth teaspoon salt, put in sauce pan and cook gently for 5 minutes. Seond part: 1^ cups flour, 1 Vz teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup sugar, one-eighth teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons shortening, one - third cup milk. Sift dry ingre dients, cut in shortening, then add milk, vanilla. Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls over first mixture and cover tightly and boil over low heat for 20 min utes. MRS. ELAINE ALLEN, D1 Jiiuw, —tfw— Dear Blanche: I guess it’s time I wrote and thanked you for the cookie cut ters. I had always wanted to have them but never had, so really appreciated winning such a useful gift. I have used them a lot al I ready and the kiddies really en joy their cookies more now that they are designed. Cookies don’t seem to last long around our ] house anyway. Well, we received a few more inches of snow last night. What a surprise to wake up this 1 morning and see it snowing ; again. It just doesn’t seem like spring yet. Certainly hope this will be our last snow for this spring. I am going to send along a couple of recipes. The cookies are very good. I made them for the first time two weeks ago and they really are a delicious cookie. COCONUT BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES One cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, lVz cups shorten ing, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon soda, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon lemon ex tract, 1 teaspoon salt, 1V4 cups shredded coconut, three and three-quarters cups flour, 2 ' teaspoons baking powder. Combine sugar and shorten | ing. Add beaten eggs, soda dis | solved in the vinegar, extracts, salt and coconut. Mix well after each addition. Sift flour and baking powder and add. Make balls about the size of walnuts. Flatten and mark crosswise with a fork. Add a little more flour if necessary for ease in handling. Bake at j 350 degree F. APPLE CRUMB PIE Four large tart apples (4 cups) sliced in plain pastry, three-fourths cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup chopped wal nuts, Vi cup butter, Vi pint I heavy cream, whipped and J sweetened. Pare, core and slice apples thin. Arrange layer in a pastry lined 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle with V4 cup of the sugar, add remaining apples and cover with a mixture of the remaining su gar, butter, flour and walnut kernels, which have been cream ed together. Bake in a hot oven of 400 degres F. 45 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with whipped cream. I will also send the devil’s food walnut cake recipe that I think is very good. DEVIL’S FOOD WALNUT CAKE One-third cup shortening, 1 Vi cups brown sugar, 2 well-beaten eggs, % cup boiling water, 2 squares unsweetened cooking chocolate, 1 Vi cups sifted flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tea- * spoon baking powder, Vi tea spoon salt, three-fourths cup finely chopped walnut kernels, Vi cup sour milk or buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cream the shortening thor I oughly. Add the sugar gradu ally and cream the mixture un til light and fluffy. Add the beaten egg and beat well Mean while pour the boiling water ov er the chocolate, stir over low heat until smooth and thick, cool, add to the egg mixture, mixing thoroughly. Sift the flour, soda, baking powder and salt together, add walnut kernels. Combine the milk and vanilla and add al ternately with the dry ingre dients to the chocolate mix ture, beating after each addi tion until smooth. Turn into well greased pan and bake in a moderate oven of 350 degrees F for 50 to 60 min utes or bake in layer pans at 375 degrees F for 20 to 30 min utes. MRS.

SANDHILL SAL The remarkable and pertinent fact about so many cases of amnesia is that when a man gets it the first thing he forgets : is his wife. Mary was a little ham, she liked acting fairly well,.but ev ery time she had to act the act was sure to smell. One of these days those op portunity pollyannas will hear somebody knocking and its bound to be a wolf at the door. She was the kind of woman who though a souffle was some thing she wore with a petticoat.
