BAKING POWDER, while not in itself a food, has won a place in 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 the 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 your 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
To USE too much Baking Powder is a waste. The amount of Baking Powder callcd for in t he following recipes is sufficient-and will give better results than a la rger quantity.
In mcasuring Baking Powder a lways measurtl: a leve l teaspoon. (With Calumct use one level teaspoon to a level cup of flour. See illustration.)
It is now gcnerally accepted t hat in all good rccipes, 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 .
The te rm" Cup" means a ha l f pint. It follows, therefore, tha t four cups e<!jual one qua rt. Every housewifc should use a standa rd measuring cup, with di visions showing )1, 1'3, y. , 7), and ~, marked plainly on the sides.
Milk, water or an y liquid when added to any combination containing Baking Powder should a lwa ys be cool o r cold, never wa rm or hot, as heat expands and releases the gases in the Baking Powder too rapidly.
Always keep Baking Powder in a cool dry place. lever put a wet spoon in your can of Baking Powder. Always s ift flour and meal before measuring.
In using the recipes in this book you will note that some flours absorb more liquid than others and the a mount of flour will have to be va ried to suit the case.
We have endeavored to suggest a baking temperature for a ll of our recipes, fer the convenience of those whose stoves a re supplied with oven thermometers and regulators.
Only Level Measurements Are Used in This Cook Book
Levcl Rounding H eaping
Many people have been in the habit of measuring by roundcd or heaping teaspoonsful. This is a very inaccura te method, and some people get twice as much on a teaspoon fo r e ither rounding or heaping as others do. ALL measurements in this book are LEVEL measurements. Use only LEVE L teaspoons in making these recipes and you will have success.

§J;SC1/L;is and C)f}ilu ffins CChe cleerei ,in 011a(ing ciJgl'Li § J;scuits
Anyone can make good biscuits by following the four principles which govern their production:
I. Cut in the shortening, as the heat of the hands melts the shortening 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 water. Keep 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 baking
powder dough kneaded and worked will make poor biscuits, while a soft dough handled lightl y will make them tender, light and palatable.

Make dough as for Calumet Biscuits, adding two tablespoons of sugar to the baking powder and flour , if sweet shortcake is desired. Roll dough in two round pieces and spread with butte r. Bake in two round cake tins fifteen to twenty minutes in hot oven (375°-400° F.). Brush with melted butte r. Put the strawberries and juice between the laye rs, and on top of shortcake. Whipped cream sweetened and flavored to taste can be added.

THE WORLO·S GREATEST BAKING POWDER
{;jenel.aL CiJ;reclions H A VE a ll the ingredients weighed or measured, the pans ready and 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 of times insures a lighter and finer texture in the cake.
Cakes are divided into two classes: Sponge Cakes and Butter Cakes.
(a) It shrinks from sides of 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 inserted in the cake and comes out clean. if cake is put in .. too slow" an 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. Too much flour makes cake heavy. Pastry flour conta ins more sta rch and less gluten therefore makes a lighte r and more tender cake. Long beating aids in making cake fine-grained. ever st ir cake after final 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 cake cooler o r turn out upon a towel on a level place.
CAKE BAKI G GE ERAL CLASSES OF CAKES
Although many varieties 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 and 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 mixing the ingredients and determines the texture aftcr baking.

Actively engaged as you know I have been for a great many years in Home Economics and Domestic Science. it often becomes necessary for me to make exhaustive studies. careful tests and scientific analyses of food values and different products.
To the question of Baking Powder which has been foremost in the minds of millions of housewives. I have given very serious study. I find that Calumet Baking Powder comes more nearly reaching the height of perfection than any of the endless brands of Baking Powder I have ever used from the standpoint of efficiency and economy ; and in fact from every angle. it gives absolute satisfaction and delightful results.
Carefully follow the directions given for the use of Calumet Baking Powder . If you will do this. you will accept it as your standard of baking powder. also you will see from experience as I have why Calumet .is called the world' s grea test baking powder.

cfl?es PASTRY
PASTRY is divided into two classes. First, Puff Paste-&cond, Pla in Paste. Puff Paste, which to many seems difficult to prepare, is seldom attempted by 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 an old cook who uses too much force in rolling the dough. A cold room, cold ingredients, 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 lower crust from absorbing the juice-sprinkle with flou r, suga r or corn
flakes. 7. Shortening: Vegetable shortening, la rd or butter substi tute can be used. Pie crust is often made without baking powder, but it requires much skill and practice
as well as more shortening to make it tender and flaky . When a plainer and more economical 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 satisfactory.

Few gratings nutmeg Beat eggs slightl y, add sugar, beat well and then add salt and milk. Line plate with
plain paste. Strain in mixture, and sprinkle with few gratings of nutmeg. Bake in a quick oven at first to cook bottom crust . Decrease the heat , as egg and milk in combination need to be cooked at a low temperature (250°-350° F.) until a s ilver knife comes out clean.

@ooking cfuggesfioll£s Salt- To keep salt so it can be easily shaken from the cruet, mix I teaspoon of corn
s~arch with each cup of salt . Ovens--In all houses the oven should be well scrubbed out a fte r cooking, with hot
soda water and soap. Any ha rd substance which is caked on to baking sheets should be scraped off with an old knife. It is rea lly very simple to ha ve the oven scrubbed out while it is st ill hot, after baking a joint, etc., and many disagreeable smells a re avoided by this practice. For this purpose a long-handled brush is useful. With it the back wall of an oven can easily be reached and the danger of burnt hands avoided.
Flour-Flour belongs in a bin or barre l raised a few inches from the floor. While wheat flour may be obta ined in quantit y, corn meal or graham flour should only be purcha cd in small quantities and kept in tin or glass.
M eat- T ough meat may be made tender by pounding, slow cooking or placing 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 several quarters of apples, when roasting lamb. Gives a delicious flavor.
Fowl-When roasting fowl, place breast side down in roaster, so the juices wi ll penctratc the breast which is usually dry.
Cake Pans-Do not grease pans, but cut white or wrapping paper to fit pan. When cakc is done paper comes off very easily, 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 Teapots 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 awa 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, and, in fact , any food with a st rong odor or any food which may become impregnated with the odor 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 may be turned into glass without breaking the vessel if you press the bowl of 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 gett ing in. Coffee should go immediately into an airtight canister in order to keep its aroma. Olive oil should be put into a cool, dark place; and salt , baking powder, soap and cheese in dry places.
