rhe Frontier Woman — ‘Busy Bee’ Finds Summer a Puzzle 1 and Dreads C o m i n g of Winter By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Among the things every home maker should know, but perhaps doesn’t, are these several items. If you don’t know that a pie crust is more easily made if all the ingredients are cool, then where have you been all this time, Mehitabel? More pie pointers: The lower crust should be placed in the pan so that it covers the surface smoothly. And be sure no air lurks beneath the surface, for it will push the crust out of shape in baking. Fold the top crust over the lower crust before crimping and it will help to keep the juices in the pie. Maybe you like to scrub up the oven. Do you have custard pie trou ble, even though you’ve been married nigh onto 40 years? Well, Pease is panting to the rescue! In making custard type pies, bake at a high temperature for about 10 minutes to prevent a soggy crust. Then finish baking at a low temperature. Fill cake pans about two-thirds full and spread the batter v/ell into the corners, leaving a slight hollow in the center and you won’t have one of those tall “mountain in the middle” cakes. At least, I hope you won’t. Some times even all the rules defy us gals! I'm sure you know this, but ni tell you anyhow, just in case: The cake is done when it shrinks slightly from the sides of the pan, or if it springs back when touched lightly with the finger. After the cake comes from the oven, place it on the cooling rack for about 5 minutes. Then the sides should be loosened and the cake turned out on the rack for cooling without a catastrophe. Cakes should not be frosted until thoroughly cool, or did you know that, lady? And don't forget that knead ing the dough for a half-minute after mixing improves the tex ture of baking powder biscuits. —tfw— This Cranberry Ham Sounds So Good— “Just a Busy Bee” wins our 3 months’ subscription. Dear Mrs. Pease: Saw your “want ad” in the pa per that you needed a few letters so here goes. Guess maybe the farm women have had a busy summer and have been too busy to sit down and jot a couple of lines. I know this summer has real ly been a puzzle. One couldn’t fix much from one day to anoth er because it might be raining. And the dew was generally so heavy that the men couldn’t go to the field before 11 o’clock. How is your new home pro gressing? With the fall season here, perhaps you can find more spare time to get it into the fin ished product. It must be quite a thrill to be able to plan each nook and corner. And those built-in cabinets, well, I could use a few more in some conven ient places. We are certainly getting a rain this afternoon and eve ning. Guess most of the crops are out of the way. Our next thought is winter and I don't card in the least to think of it. Seems as though I dread the coming of winter more each year. Guess I had better close with a couple of hints and a recipe: To open coffee jars for the first time, turn upside down and let stand on warm stove for a couple of minutes. When putting starched curtains on rods, place a small piece of adhesive tape over end of rod and they will slip on without any trouble. CRANBERRY HAM SLICED Three cups fresh cranberries, 1% cups brown sugar, \k cup water or apple juice, 2 slices of ham, 2 T. whole cloves. Mix cranberries, sugar and li quid, cut edges of fat on ham.
