Ingredients

Method

  1. All ingredients in these recipes should be measured level, and the standard teaspoon, tablespoon, and half-pint measuring cup should be used.
  2. Unless otherwise stated, one apple, onion, orange, etc., means one of medium size.
  3. Sift flour before measuring, and fill cup lightly.
  4. Use pastry flour, unless otherwise directed, for thickening soups and sauces, and in all recipes where baking powder is used;
  5. use bread flour in all recipes where yeast is used.
  6. The majority of these recipes are planned to serve four persons;
  7. those for chowders and other dishes which form the substantial part of the meal are sufficient for second helpings;
  8. those for cakes, muffins, and other breads are large enough to be served more than once.
