BANANA CUSTARD CAKE
Wtm ——■■■—— ill1 1 —
Luscious and delicious—it’s all yours for the making. Just bake one
delicate-textured square or layer, split it in two, and put creamy
banana filling between the halves. Dust with confectioners’ sugar for
a plain or “dress-up” top.
Notice that you use only cup of sugar for the cake and filling—
a real sugar-shy cake, but richly satisfying for the family’s sweet
tooth. Put the recipe in your “Miracles without much sugar” file.

By Edna Mae McIntosh
Many parents argue the relative
merits of feeding their babies or
young children alone or allowing
them to eat at the family table.
There are points on both sides.
Naturally, while an infant is
very young, his feeding schedule
will be entirely apart from that of
the rest of the family. But after
baby can sit alone, he is often
placed in a high chair at the family
table.
In today’s hurried schedules, the
meal hour is frequently one of the
few times during the day that the
father and other working members
of the family can enjoy the baby.
When the family employs no nurse,
having the baby close by might be
the only means of keeping an eye
on him while the family is eating.
Whatever the reason for his
presence, the family is obligated
to keep the occasion a calm and
happy one. It is imperative that
all of an infant’s early associations
with food be pleasant ones. This
means that mealtime will be char
acterized by cheerful conversation
and will not be permitted to serve
as a clearinghouse for family
grievances and arguments. It is
well to remember that even bois
terous laughter, well intentioned
on the part of adults, might prove
emotionally upsetting to a baby.
Incidentally, the appetites and di
gestions of older members of the
family might be improved by some
of these same suggestions.
Good examples, set by a family,
cannot be excelled as a means of
developing good food habits in the
baby. Refusal of certain food
items, discussions of likes and dis
likes and disparaging remarks
about the foods served are mir
rored in the infant’s poorer ac
ceptance of his own special foods.
rounded tablespoons drip grind
coffee, to each measuring cup of
water. Have ready an equal
amount of hot milk. Pour milk
and coffee together into a chin*
pot containing egg yolk, using one
egg yolk to four cups coffee.
MAGIC MOLASSES BROWNIES
ARE MADE WITHOUT SUGAR
Don’t let the still prevalent
scarcity of eggs shortening, or
sugar get you down if the family
begs for cookiSs. Just try these
Magic Molasses Brownies, made
with sweetened condensed milk,
and everybody will be happy. The
swetened condensed milk, a rich
blend of fresh, whole milk and
sugar, has ail the sweetening
needed for these delicious brown
ies, and the magically failure
proof recipe doesn't call for frour
eggs, or shortening, either. Here
is the way to make them: Mix 1
one third cups (15 oz. can) sweet
cup molasses in heavy pan and
cook over low heat 5 minutes or
until mixture thickens, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat.
Add 2 cups graham cracker
crumbs and 1 cup chopped nuts,
blending thoroughly Spread mix
ture in pan (8 by 12 inches) lined
with wax paper. Bake in moder
ate oven (350 degrees) 15 minutes
or until brown. Turn from pan and
remove wax paper at ooce. Cut in
2 inch squares. Makes about 24.

The other day as I was working
in my kitchen, I started thinking
about the many improvements
which research of recent years had
brought about in food packaging
and conservation!
Take that old household standby,
brown sugar, for instance . . . re
member what a problem it used to
be to keep sugar from growing
dry and lumpy — or just too hard
to use? Nowadays, it’s no prob
lem at all! After much study and
research, the manufacturers of
brown sugar discovered a very
simple way to keep sugar moist
and fresh. They pack the sugar in
a heavy carton, with a strong
waxed paper lining—and the waxed
paper keeps it fresh indefinitely!
After each using, just carefully
roll down the inner waxed paper
lining and its protection will help
keep the contents soft and moist.
I’ve found, too, that even bulk
brown sugar can be kept fresh in
much the same way. I always re
pack bulk sugar in a glass jar
which I line with heavy waxed
paper — and after each use, re
fold the waxed paper. By using
waxed paper, I can keep sugar for
months in my pantry and am
always assured of its freshness.
Yes, brown sugar is just one more
of the hundreds of foods that are
kept fresh and sanitary, ready for.
