HUBBARD. + + + + + PUBLISHED BY + + Pillsbury, Minneapolis + + * * * * * + + + + +DIRECTIONS + + +1. Always use Pillsbury's Best Flour. + +2. Sift flour twice before adding to cakes or breakfast cakes. + +3. _Make all measurements_ level by using edge of knife to +lightly scrape off from top of cup or spoon until material is +even with the edges. + +4. Use same sized cups or spoons in measuring for the same +recipe. + +5. Before starting to make recipe, read through carefully, then +put on table all the materials and tools needed in making that +particular recipe. + + * * * * * + + + + +A NOTE TO THE MODERN READER + + +_A Little Book for a Little Cook_ was originally published by +Pillsbury in 1905. This new reproduction has all of the recipes +from the original softcover edition, but is being reissued with +the modern reader in mind. The collector will note some small +departures from the original book, but the little cook will no +doubt find what is here to be fun to cook, delicious, and warmly +nostalgic. + + For best results, we recommend the following recipe changes + when preparing these old-fashioned recipes. When using + Pillsbury BEST(R) Flour, there is no need to sift the flour. + Just lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cup and + level it off. When combining the flour with other dry + ingredients, stir the ingredients together with a fork. + + Bread: Soak 1 (.6 oz.) cake compressed yeast or 1 pkg. + active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 2 tablespoons + lukewarm (105-110 deg.F.) water for 2 minutes. Knead dough 5 to + 10 minutes. Let dough rise in warm place until it is _almost + double in size_. Grease, bottom only, 8x4 or 9x5-inch loaf + pan. Bake at 375 deg.F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until light + golden brown. + + Biscuits: Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 425 deg.F. + for 9 to 11 minutes. + + Ginger Bread: Bake in a greased 13x9-inch pan at 350 deg.F. for + 23 to 27 minutes. + + Sponge Cake: Bake in a greased and floured 9-inch square or + 11x7-inch pan at 350 deg.F. for 24 to 29 minutes. + + Muffins: Bake in a greased 12-cup muffin pan at 400 deg.F. for + 12 to 16 minutes. + + Creamed Potatoes: If a double boiler is unavailable, cook in + a heavy saucepan over medium heat until mixture thickens, + about 5 minutes. + + Fudge: Cook in a small heavy saucepan; pour mixture into a + buttered 9x5 or 8x4-inch pan. + + Chocolate Cake: Bake in a greased and floured 8-inch square + pan at 350 deg.F. for 23 to 27 minutes or until toothpick + inserted in center comes out clean. + + Johnny Cake: Bake in a greased 8-inch square pan at 400 deg.F. + for 15 to 20 minutes. + + * * * * * + + + + +BREAD + + +MATERIAL: + +1/2 cup boiling water +1/2 cup milk +1/2 cake yeast +2 tablespoons cold water +1 teaspoon salt +3 cups Pillsbury's Best + +WAY OF PREPARING: + +Soak yeast in 2 tablespoons cold water. Pour 1/2 cup boiling +water into 1/2 cup milk. _Let cool to lukewarm._ Stir in +dissolved yeast and salt. Add 3 cups Pillsbury's Best. Turn onto +a kneading board. Knead until smooth. Let rise until three times +the original size. Knead slightly, put into a well greased pan. +Let rise until double its bulk and bake 25 or 30 minutes in +moderate oven. It will be well to consult some experienced person +as to lightness of sponge and dough. + + + + +BISCUITS + + +MATERIAL: + +1 cup Pillsbury's Best +1/2 teaspoon salt +2 teaspoons baking powder +1 tablespoon cold butter +1/2 cup milk + +WAY OF PREPARING: + +Sift flour, salt and baking powder twice.

We show our +unselfishness in preferring one another, anticipating one +another's wants. + +On the table is shown the result of the unselfish thought and +care of the chief home-maker. The labor connected with the +preparation of the meal is either a burden or a pleasure as one's +previous training has made possible. + +We get the best training for active life, in other than household +work, early in life, at school and home. Why not learn to be good +home-makers while still young? + +We like to do what we do well. If we learn early, we learn easily +and well--the work is a pleasure and success is assured. + +Beginners should master the little recipes included in this book. +They require only a small amount of material, but enough for +success. + + + + +[Illustration] + + This is the tale that was told to me + By a loaf of home-made bread, you see, + As it sat one night on the pantry shelf-- + A loaf on each side of it--just like itself, + While grouped around stood the pies and cakes, + The good old kind like mother makes, + And one and all then and there confessed + That they owed their existence to Pillsbury's Best. + + + + +[Illustration] + + I seem to trace through the distant haze + My byegone life in the good old days; + I see in my vision a field of wheat-- + I knew I was there that the world might eat-- + I drank of the showers and the morning dew; + In the noonday sun I throve and grew-- + Grew on the verge of a sunny crest, + Just as fast as I could for Pillsbury's Best. + + + + +[Illustration] + + And when I had grown both tall and strong + The reapers came--a merry throng-- + And through the fields they wend their way, + Just to and fro through the livelong day. + Perhaps they were rude--for they cut me dead-- + But what if they did?--I kept my head + And turned on my back and laughed in glee + At the thought of the good, good flour I'd be. + +[Illustration] + + I know I was good, yet the day came at last + When they said I'd be better if soundly thrashed. + Please pardon me here--I can't dwell on this much, + The subject is painful--my feelings are such. + Oh my! but the straw, it flew high in the air + And the chaff chaffed unceasing, but I didn't care, + My laughter rang forth with increased vim and zest, + My chastisement I knew--just meant Pillsbury's Best. + +[Illustration] + + And then came the time when I journeyed away + To the mills where the "Roller Mills" roll all day, + And all of them smiled with a happy grin + And welcomed us poor little wheatlets in; + Oh! the grind of life--I was grasped and seized, + I really can't say I was very much pleased; + But to say the least, I was much impressed, + And when I got through I was Pillsbury's Best. + +[Illustration: The mills where the roller mills roll all day.] + +[Illustration] + + And now in the latest fashions gay + In the big round world I have my say, + For in this most becoming sack, + Please note the hang--both front and back, + I journey far from the land of my birth + To feed the hungry hordes of Earth; + For those who know ne'er fail to say + That Pillsbury's flour o'er the world holds sway. + +[Illustration] + + To the kitchen I go--to the bakers who bake + The bread and the cookies, the pies and the cake; + It was there that I met the package of yeast + Who raised the dough for the coming feast, + And that's why I sit and talk to-night, + For to-morrow I know I'll be out of sight; + So I'll toast myself ere this tale I close, + To Pillsbury's Best, the flour one knows. + + + + +[Illustration: + + _This is the tale of the loaf on the shelf. + As told to me by the loaf itself._ +] + +[Illustration: Pillsbury's BEST XXXX] + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's A Little Book for A Little Cook, by L.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
