Follow Rules for Melt-in-Your-Mouth Muffins
(See Recipes Below)
Quick Hot Breads
Taste-tempting hot breads add a
flavorful touch to any meal. Golden
crusted muffins or fluffy biscuits are
the perfect accompaniment to meat,
and salads and go equally well with
a glass of milk for a snack or with
coffee or tea for breakfast
Don’t shy away from making
muffins because you fear only fair
results. Quick breads are the most
easily mixed of all baked goods and
you need to bear in mind only a
few simple rules to have success.
The most important point to re
.member is not to "over-mix.”
Muffin batter, for example, should
be "bumpy” — stirred only until
the dry ingredients are dampened
by the liquid. Biscuits should not
be worked to death—they will be
far more flaky and tender if the
cook is not too ambitious.
Quick hot breads are an easy
way to put appetite appeal into the
simplest meal.
Served with but
ter and jam, they
will really give
the family some
thing to look for
ward to even if
the main dish is
hash from left
over roast oy soup and salad from
an accumulation of dabs of food in
the refrigerator.
Cheese adds flavor as well as pro
tein to a meai when made with
muffins like the following:
*Cheese Muffins.
(Makes 12 medium-sized muffins)
294 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
94 teaspoon salt
94 cup grated American cheese
1 egg
1 cup milk
94 cup melted butter
Sift flour once, measure; sift into
mixing bowl with baking powder and
salt. Add grated cheese and mix
thoroughly. Beat egg, add milk and
melted butter, and pour into the
center of the dry ingredients. Stir
quickly until dry ingredients are
just dampened. Batter should not
be smooth. Fill greased muffin pans
about % full. Bake in a moderate
ly hot oven (425 degrees) for 15 or
20 minutes until golden brown. Serve
hot with butter and jam.
If you want to do other unusual
things with muffins you might like
them with a prune or a spice fla
vor. Both of these will add extra
enjoyment to meals.
Prune Muffins.
394 cups flour
% teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
94 teaspoon nutmeg
% cup shortening
jt cup brown sugar
2 eggs
194 cup milk
% cup cut, cooked prunes, well
drained
Prunes and nuts for decoration
Sift together first four ingredients.
Cream shortening and add sugar
Lynn Says:
Here are tips on egg cookery:
Beads on a meringue come from
too much sugar. Frothy meringue
comes from too little sugar. Two
tablespoons of sugar to one egg
white is a good rule to follow.
Eggs keep better if they are
not washed before refrigerating.
Never place meringue on a hot
pie filling. It will form syrup be
tween filling and meringue and
"skid.” Pile the meringue in the
center of the pie and anchor to
the crust on the edges after
spreading.
To open eggs evenly without
breaking the shell, crack with a
knife that is not too sharp.
The volume of the egg white
may be increased slightly when
194 teaspoons of water are added
to white before whipping. This ap
plies particularly if the eggs are
not as fresh as possible.

What are our standards for mak
ing biscuits? Perfect biscuits are
light and fluffed, fairly straight and
even on the sides, level on top,
well shaped and regular. Their ten
der crust is golden brown and rather
smooth. When broken open, they
show a creamy white, fluffy crumb
which is even and fine-grained.
Over-mixing, or too long kneading
of the dough makes biscuits tough
with a pale crust. Speed and light
handling are essential for flakiness.
Under-mixing, on the other hand,
causes lack of flakiness in biscuits.
These biscuits also lack in vol
ume. The fat needs to be well dis
tributed for a flaky texture.
The proportions for plain biscuit
are as follows: 2 cups of flour,
2 teaspoons bak
ing powder, %
teaspoon salt, 5
tablespoons short
ening and Vi cup
milk. The dry in
gredients are
mixed; the fat
cut in, and enough milk added to
make the dough. Knead the dough
for about 30 seconds, then roll and
cut. Use a hot oven (450 degrees)
and bake biscuits for 12 to 15 min
utes.
Apple Sauce Biscuits.
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
% teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons fat
1 egg
% cup tart apple sauce
14 cup thick sour cream
Sift dry ingredients. Cut in fat.
Beat egg and add to apple sauce
and sour cream. Add to first mix
ture. Turn on a floured board and
knead for 20 seconds. Roll to Vi inch
thickness and cut into 2-inch bis
cuits. Place on an oiled cookie
sheet, sprinkle with grated cheese
and bake.
Buttermilk Biscuits.
2 cups pastry flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
Vi teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons shortening
% cup buttermilk
Sift dry ingredients and cut in
shortening. Add buttermilk and
quickly mix to a soft dough. Turn
out on floured board and knead for
30 seconds. Pat to desired thick
ness and cut with a small cutter.
Place on oiled sheet and bake in
a hot (425 to 450 degrees) oven for
10 to 12 minutes.

ARE YOU JUST A
NAimintniK?
Nature may endow you with
breathtaking beauty, a lovely
curvaceous figure. She may be
stow gifts on you that make you
a brilliant actress, a leader in
vour class at college, sought
after at dances, or a charming
wife and mother.
Yes, Nature may do all this.
And yet you may find your face
mockingly slapped if you suffer
these distressing symptoms,
which so many unfortunate
girls and women do.
Something You Should
Not Joke About!
So if female functional monthly
disturbances are causing you to
suffer from pain, nervous dis
tress and feel weak, restless, so
cranky and irritable that you
almost turn into a ‘she-devil’—
on such days—this is something
you shouldn’t joke about. Start
right away—try Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound to
relieve such symptoms. It’s fa
mous for this purpose. And don’t
forget — Pinkham’s Compound
does more than relieve such
monthly pain. This great medi
cine also relieves accompanying
nervous tension, irritability,
those tired-out, mean ‘pick-on
everyone’ feelings—when due to
this cause. Taken regularly
thruout the month—Pinkham’s
Compound helps build up resis
tance against such distress—a
very sensible thing to do. Just
see if you, too, don’t remarkably
benefit! All drugstores.
