CALUMET BAKING POWDER CO.

~1r::IDENT

(J1Jhy @alumei OfJllales §3a~:Vlg 6as;er gcis of!h",telr est to 6ver;yol'le O{)l'lO @ooks: POWDER, while not in itself a food, has won a place in BAKING American kitchens because of its ability to render many kinds of foods light, sweet, and digestible. The best cooks are those who know the funct ion of baking powder and accordingly select the one that gives off the greatest amount of gas and leaves the least residue in the food. When mixing a cake or other dough, baking powder is added but for one reason, and that is, to make the baking fluffy and light. This is accomplished by the leavening gas given off during the process of mixing and baking. All baking powders are quick leaveners as compared with the old methods such as Yeast, Beaten Air, etc. Some types of baking powder require quick handling and quick ovens-others need a slow oven, while CALUMET is Double Acting and works best in a moderate oven. I ts action is harnessed so as to insure safe results in ovens of varying temperatures. Double Acting baking powder means a baking powder containing two leavening units; one unit begins to work when the dough is mixed; the other unit waits for the heat of the oven; then both units work together. This is called double acting and is your guarantee against failure or waste. In the hands of any cook, Calumet is a safeguard against some of t he most common errors that are likely to be made, such as excessive beating, improper oven temperatures, etc. I ts double action will correct these mistakes when the mix reaches the oven. Baking Powder, more than any other ingredient, is responsible for you r success or failure on bake day. You may use the very best flour, shortening, etc., and still be disappointed if the quality of your baking powder varies. Calumet is always the same and can be depended upon to help the other products MAKE GOOD. Besides, with Calumet, a Double Acting baking powder, you do not have to use extra care or precaution; you may move the food in the oven; open the door for inspection without fear of your baking falling; you may mix a pan of biscuits at night, put them in a cool place and they are ready for your breakfast oven the next morning. Best of all Calumet is uniform-it is always the same; the most important thing to find in selecting a leavener; the last spoonful does the \ ork equally as well as the first one did. This" always the same quality" enables you to accomplish better results with less effort. I t is this combination of double gas action, moderate speed of action, uniformity, and the addition of white of egg which is the big improvement in baking powder that has earned for CALUMET the reputation for being the WORLD'S GREATEST BAKING POWDER. Calumet is manufactured with the greatest of care from specially prepared materials, and under special formula, which insures its keeping qualities and gives to the consumer a leavening agent that cannot be excelled. Contains only such ingredients as have been officially approved by U. S. Food Authorities. I t is the largest selling brand in the world which gives it the stamp of approval of American housewives. THE WORLD'S GREATEST BAKING POWDER

too much Baking Powde r is a waste. T he amount of Baking Powder callcd for T oin USE t he following recipes is sufficient-and will give better results than a la rger qua ntity. In mcasuring Bak ing Powder a lways measurtl: a leve l teaspoon. (Wit h Calu mct use one level teaspoon to a level cup o f flour. See illustration.) It is now gcnerally accepted t hat in all good rcci pes, tested and given by competent baking teachers, s ifted flour is a lwa ys meant and should always be used in following the recipes. It is important to follow this rule. Always use sifted flour when measuring, because s ifted flour usually makes about one-fifth more bulk than unsifted flour. Be careful in measuring t he sa lt that you level a ll measurements. Too much salt will leave its taste in the food .

Cut in the shortening, as the heat of the hands melts the sho rtening and more flour is worked into the dough, toughening it. 2., Have a very soft dough, Add just enough liquid to combine the ingredients. Use cold milk or very cold wate r. K eep dough cool. 3, Bake in a very hot oven at 450° F. for about fifteen minutes, depending on size of biscuits , 4, Use Calumet Baking Powder. While kneading is good for yeast bread , it will ruin biscui t dough, A stiff ba k ing powder dough kneaded a nd worked will make poor biscuits, while a soft dough handled lightl y will make them tender, light and palatable.

A VE a ll the ingredients weighed or measured, the pans read y a nd the oven heating before beginning to mix .the ingredients. Sift the flour once before measuring, then three times with the required amount of baking powder. Spices and salt a re a lways added to the flour. Sifting of the dry ingredients a number o f times insures a lighter a nd finer texture in the cake. Cakes are div ided into two classes: Sponge Cakes and Butter Cakes.

(a) It shrinks from sides o f pan. (b) Feels firm when slightl y pressed on top and leaves no print of the fingers. (c) It is a golden brown . (d ) When a straw is inse rted in the cake and comes out clean. if cake is put in .. too slow" a n oven the texture will be coarse. If put in .. too quick" an oven, the ca ke browns on top before it has sufnciently risen, and in its a ttempt to rise may break the crust. These troubles a re less marked with Calumet Baking Powder than with any other powder. If too mueh flour has been added , the cake will crack. Coarse granu la ted sugar or too much sugar will make cake coarse and is apt to make it fall. T oo much flour makes cake heavy. P astry flour conta ins more sta rch and less gluten there fore makes a lighte r and more tender ca ke. Long beating aids in ma king cake fine-grained. eve r st ir cake after fin al beating, or after egg whites have been folded into mixture. Let cake rema in in pans for a few minutes after t aking from oven-then remove to a ca ke cooler o r turn out upon a towel on a level place.

CAKE BAKI G GE ERAL CLASSES OF CAKES Although many va rieties of cake can be made, they are a ll put into two classes: Butter Cakes and Sponge Cakes. They are otherwise classified as cakes made with butter a nd cakes made without butter, for it is the presence or absence of shortening in a cake that makes the di ffe rence in the method of mi xing the ingredients and determines the texture aftcr bak ing.

cfl?es PASTRY

P

ASTRY is divided into two classes. First, Puff Paste-&cond, Pla in P aste. Puff Paste, which to many seems difficult to prepare, is seldom attempted b y anyone except profeS3ionals. One who has never handled a rolling pin, however, is less liable to fail under the guidance of a good teacher, than a n old cook who uses too much force in rolling the dough. A cold room, cold ingredi ents, rapid work and light touch are necessary.

To assure successful pas~ry for pies: I. Use cold water, cold utensils and have the kitchen cool. 2. Work quickly, mix very little, as kneading toughens. 3. Flour the board as little as possible. 4. Do not turn past ry and ro ll on both sides. 5. Have oven very hot (400°-450° F.) for baking pastry. 6. To prevent lowe r crust from absorbing the juice-sprinkle with flou r, suga r or corn flakes. 7. Shortening: Vegetable shortening, la rd or butter substitute can be used. Pie crust is often made without baking powder, but it requires much skill a nd practice as well as more shortening to make it tender and flaky . When a plainer and more economica l crust is desired , the use of a little baking powder wi ll produce the results required. If pastry flour is used the results will be found more sa tisfactory.

@ooking cfuggesfioll£s Salt- To keep salt so it can be easily shaken from the cruet, mi x I teaspoon o f corns~arch with each cup of salt . Ovens--In all houses the oven should be well sc rubbed out a fte r cooking, with hot soda water and soap. Any ha rd subst ance which is caked on to bak ing sheets should be scraped off with an old knife. It is rea lly very simple to ha ve the oven sc rubbed out while it is still hot, after baking a joint, etc., and many disagreea ble smells a re avoided by this practice. For this purpose a long-handled brush is useful. With it the back wall of an oven ca n easily be reached and the dange r of burnt hands avoided. Flour-Flour belongs in a bin or barre l raised a few inches from the floo r. While whea t flour may be obta ined in qua ntit y, corn meal or graham flour should only be purcha cd in sma ll quantities a nd kept in tin or glass. M eat- T ough meat may be made tender by pounding, slow cooking or placi ng it a fcw minutes in vinegar water. Milk-Be fore heating milk rinse out the saucepan with a little hot water (never boil milk); it will prevent the milk sticking to the bottom of the pan. Roast Lamb- Add seve ral qua rters of apples, when roasting la mb. Gi ves a delicious flavor. Fowl-When roasting fowl, place breast side down in roaster, so the juices wi ll penctratc the breast which is usually dr y. Cake Pans-Do not grease pans, but cut white or wrapping pape r to fit pa n. When ca kc is done paper comes off ver y easil y, and cake does not st ick. M eringue-Add suga r to unbeaten egg white then the baking powder. Whcn made in this way the egg whites appear more like whipped cream.

O{;{chen Qfelps T eapots that a re made of metal, if unused for some time, will often give a musty flavor to the tea when next used . This may be prevented by placing a lump of suga r in the teapot before putting it a wa y. The water in which cabbage has been cooked should not be poured down the sink or if this must be done the sink should be rinsed with wate r containing powdered charcoal or a little chloride of lime. All kitchen supplies should be kept in glass jars, the different sizes each to them c\ ve . H ave covered crockery dishes for use in the ice box and see that they a re sca lded when washed . Use these ja rs whenever practical in the ice box, especially to keep fish, oysters, lettuce or parsley, a nd, in fact , an y food with a st rong odor or any food which may become impregnated with the odo r of other foods. To Remove Odors/rom fce Box, Cupboard or Pantry, elc. -Fill a dish with boiling water, place in ice box, a nd drop in a piece of charcoal. A lump of charcoal left in a closed bottle or jar will keep it from becoming musty . Boiling liquids, jellies or fruits ma y be turned into glass without breaking the vessel if you press the bowl o f a spoon on the bottom while filling. Cereals- Cerea ls should be emptied in their proper receptacles of tin or glass a nd closely covered to prevent insects getting in. Coffee should go immediately into a n airtight ca niste r in order to keep its aroma. Olive oil should be put into a cool, dark place; a nd salt, baking powder, soap a nd cheese in dry places.
