Table For Baking

Household Hints

In using butter to grease baking tins be sure both are cold. Otherwise the cake will stick.

Novices in baking often make the blunder of melting, or at least warming butter and plate or mold, before pouring in the batter.

Baking Powder

In all recipes calling for baking powder, our friends will find it more profitable to use the Royal brand. This powder we all know is free from alum and absolutely pure.

Flavoring Extracts

In all recipes calling for flavoring extracts our friends will find "Sauer's Flavoring Extracts" es-pecially satisfactory.
