GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Where shortening is mentioned in the recipes it is understood that
butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or
vegetable oil may be used.
MEASUREMENTS
All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this
book are level.
The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into
fourths and thirds.
To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess
with back of knife.
One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.
Sift flour before measuring.
BAKING
Much depends upon the baking. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared
is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough. Regulate the
oven carefully before mixing the ingredients.
When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan.
A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another
indication that the cake is baked.
