For who -isn’t filled with the joy of living when tempted by the penetrating -aroma of Gingerbread, rich and spicy ... or a piece of luscious velvety -Chocolate Cake, full of flavor? What adds more zest to a meal than a -surprise plate of hot breads ... fragrant Cinnamon Buns, maybe Lemon -Clover Rolls, delicate Soda Biscuits or Old Fashioned Corn Bread? - -The secret for making these successfully is as “old as the hills” but as -new as the morrow. Baking soda! Yes, grandmother used it in her prized -recipes and the modern homemaker finds it making her baking day a -success. - -Arm & Hammer Brand and Cow Brand Baking Soda are refined bicarbonate of -soda whose standard of purity is that set up by the United States -Pharmacopoeia. For over 90 years this mild, healthful, alkaline -substance has been creating baking history. All these years homemakers -have depended on baking soda to make their baked products deliciously -moist and delicately light and tender. - -“How,” asks the inexperienced homemaker, “does baking soda make cakes, -cookies and quick breads light and tender every time?” - -Baking soda has stored in it a tremendous quantity of carbon dioxide -gas, the same gas found in soda water and ginger ale. This is released -when it comes in contact with any acid material such as the many mild -acids naturally found in cooking ingredients. - -Among those ingredients are chocolate, cocoa, brown sugar, tomato juice, -sour milk, buttermilk, apple sauce, spices, cottage cheese, molasses, -vinegar, citrus fruit juices and many more. These acid ingredients are -familiar to everyone. One or more of them, you will notice, is used -almost every time you bake. - -The baking soda gently but surely reacts with these natural acids, -freeing millions of tiny carbon dioxide bubbles which are held enmeshed -in the batters and doughs. As this gas expands during the baking, the -product becomes light and tender. Thus it is that baking soda uses -nature’s own unrivaled acids to leaven and lighten baked products. - - - - - Success Assured - - -Leavening nature’s way is surprisingly easy. The acid content of citrus -fruit juices or vinegar may be used to develop the unsurpassed flavor -and texture associated with baking soda products. The following amounts, - - 1⅓ tablespoons vinegar (4 teaspoons) - 1½ tablespoons lemon juice (4½ teaspoons) - ¾ cup orange juice (12 tablespoons) - -may be used with ½ teaspoon baking soda. Many of the recipes in this -booklet are especially designed for this natural combination of baking -soda and acid juices. Sometimes the acid is added last as in the “Lemon -Loaf Cake” on page 11, while in the “Lemon Clover Rolls,” page 28, it is -combined with the liquid, then added to the mixture. In any case, you -will be pleased with the results. - -IMPORTANT! You don’t need natural sour milk or buttermilk to prepare -your old time favorite delicacies. It is the acid normally found in -these ingredients which reacts with baking soda for leavening. If sour -milk or buttermilk with its natural acid is not available, you may -provide the necessary acid by using citrus fruit juices or vinegar with -sweet milk. It is surprisingly simple to change sweet milk to milk that -contains as much acid as natural sour milk or buttermilk when it is at -its best for baking. - -For example, when vinegar is used to provide this acid, place 1⅓ -tablespoons vinegar (white vinegar makes a whiter product) in a standard -measuring cup, then fill to the one-cup mark with sweet milk. Mix well. -The resulting liquid can be used in place of sour milk or buttermilk in -any baking soda recipe. Use 1½ tablespoons lemon juice or ¾ cup orange -juice in a similar manner. - -In many of these recipes, designed in our Research Test Kitchen, one or -more acid ingredient is used to create perfect leavening with baking -soda. - -Follow these recipes accurately and carefully, then enjoy the finer -flavor and even texture produced when baking with baking soda. - - - - - How to Bake - - - [Illustration: How to Bake] - -FLOUR. Preferably use the kind of flour specified in the recipe. If you -substitute cake or pastry flour for all-purpose flour, use 2 additional -tablespoonfuls of flour for each cup required; to substitute all-purpose -flour for cake or pastry flour, remove 2 tablespoonfuls of flour from -each cup. - -FATS. Solid fats can be used interchangeably. Melted fats or oils should -not be used in recipes specifying creaming of the shortening. - -LIQUID. The use of citrus fruit juices, lemon and orange, is the most -recent accompaniment with sweet milk and baking soda for leavening. With -the health-giving qualities, this new use for fruit juices in baking is -widely accepted. - -_Sweet milk may be used in place of sour milk if clabbered artificially. -To sour or clabber sweet milk quickly, place 1½ tablespoonfuls of lemon -juice or 1⅓ tablespoonfuls of vinegar (white vinegar makes a whiter -product) in a standard measuring cup, then fill to the one-cup mark with -sweet milk. Mix well. The resulting liquid will contain as much acid as -natural sour milk or buttermilk when it is at its best for baking, and -may be used exactly as natural sour milk or buttermilk in any baking -soda recipe._ - -MEASURING. Always use level measurements. Use standard measuring -equipment: a ½ pint cup marked in quarters and thirds; a set of standard -measuring spoons consisting of a tablespoon, teaspoon, ½ teaspoon and ¼ -teaspoon. - -MIXING. There is no such thing as “luck” in baking. Success depends on -good ingredients correctly combined. Follow the directions carefully as -set down in the following recipes. - -BAKING. Keep the oven at the temperature specified in the recipe. You -have mastered an important part of baking, if you keep your oven under -control. Oven regulators and thermometers safeguard baking. - -CARE AFTER BAKING. Let cakes stand in pan on cooling rack for 3 to 5 -minutes after baking; then turn out on rack and finish cooling before -frosting. Cookies should also be cooled on a rack. - - [Illustration: ALWAYS SIFT FLOUR] - - [Illustration: USE STANDARD MEASURING EQUIPMENT] - - [Illustration: FOLLOW RECIPES CAREFULLY] - - [Illustration: AFTER BAKING LET CAKES AND COOKIES COOL] - - - - - Facts regarding plain white flour - - - [Illustration: Facts regarding plain white flour] - -In Arm & Hammer or Cow Brand Baking Soda recipes, certain types of flour -are used or specified simply to indicate that such a flour gives the -most desirable characteristics to that particular baked product, but it -does not mean that another type of flour cannot be substituted, nor that -an inferior product will result if a correct substitution is made. - - BREAD FLOUR. This is used to a large extent by commercial bakers and - generally is made from hard wheats: it contains a high percentage of a - protein product known as gluten. The gluten in this flour is hard, - capable of taking up and retaining a large quantity of water. This - type of flour is admirably adapted for bread making, since the strong - gluten gives an excellent skeleton to the loaf. Such a flour is seldom - used in the home today, except by those who make large quantities of - home-made white bread. Usually, the gluten is present in this flour to - the extent of 11 to 12%. - - GENERAL PURPOSE OR FAMILY FLOUR. This flour is intended to fill all - needs and, consequently, is made by blending flours from soft and hard - wheats. It contains a moderate amount of medium hard gluten, and is - used in baking hot breads, such as muffins and scones. However, it can - be used for pastries as well. When employed in place of pastry or cake - flour, two level tablespoonfuls less per cup should be used. - General-purpose flours range in gluten content from 10 to 11% and, in - this respect, are about half way between bread and true pastry or cake - flours. - - PASTRY OR CAKE FLOUR. Such flours not only have the lowest gluten - content, but a weak soft gluten as well, and are very satisfactory for - making all pastries except such items as fruit cakes. These are - preferably made with all-purpose flour, to support the fruit and - maintain a desirable structure. Pastry flours contain 9 to 10% gluten - and are made from various types of soft wheat. Special cake flours - belong to the pastry flour class, but are finer in texture. They are - slightly lower in gluten content (8 to 9%), and the gluten is even - softer. Pastry flour gives baked products a tender thin crust and a - delicate crumb. Pastry flour can neither absorb nor retain moisture - like bread and all-purpose flours and, therefore, sour milk or - buttermilk is splendidly adapted for use with this flour, since both - are capable of retaining moisture. - - If all-purpose or family flour is specified in a recipe, and only - pastry is available, increase the pastry flour slightly (two - tablespoonfuls for every cup of family flour specified). When pastry - flour is used in biscuit recipes, the dough is rather soft and - inclined to be somewhat difficult to roll. Instead of further - increasing the pastry flour to stiffen the dough, better results are - realized by using the dough for dropped biscuits. - - Flour, baking soda and many other similar materials should be stored - in a dry cool place, free from odors. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - - - - Cakes - - - [Illustration: Cakes] - - - ORANGE LOAF - - 2 cups pastry flour - ½ teaspoon Arm & Hammer or Cow Brand Baking Soda - ¼ teaspoon salt - ⅓ cup butter, or other shortening - 1 cup sugar - 2 eggs - Grated rind of 1 orange - ¾ cup orange juice, strained - -1.

When parboiling dried beans for baking, the -addition of ½ teaspoon of baking soda to each 2 cups soaked beans makes -the beans tender in a shorter time. When baked, the beans have a much -sweeter flavor than those parboiled in plain water. All dried legumes -such as lima, soy, kidney or navy beans, and peas, have a better flavor -if treated in this manner. - - -SCALLOPED DISHES. Scalloped potatoes or other scalloped dishes are -sometimes spoiled in appearance by curdling of the milk. ¼ teaspoon -baking soda to each pint of milk prevents the curdling. - - -HOMINY. In the preparation of hominy, use 1 ounce of baking soda (2 -level tablespoons) and 3 pints of water to each pound of field corn. -Dissolve baking soda and add corn. Bring corn to boiling point, cover -and simmer 1½ hours. Hulls and black eyes can be removed by rubbing -between the hands. 6 or 7 washings will remove all traces of soda. - - -SPINACH. When washing spinach, add a small amount of baking soda (about -¼ teaspoon for each peck of spinach) to the last rinse water. Cook as -usual. The vegetable will retain its lovely fresh color. - - -RHUBARB AND GOOSEBERRIES. When stewing rhubarb or gooseberries, add ⅛ -teaspoon baking soda for each 2 cups. This reduces the quantity of sugar -required by ⅓. For each 2 cups of rhubarb or gooseberries, use ⅔ cup -sugar in place of the usual cup. - - -PEACHES AND APRICOTS. To skin peaches and apricots quickly and easily, -blanch in a baking soda solution. To blanch, make a solution of ½ cup -baking soda to 2 gallons of water. Bring to boiling point and while -actively boiling, immerse fruit (using a wire basket) until skin is -loosened. Remove fruit, wash at once in clear cold water and remove -skins by rubbing. - - -BAKED HAM AND PORK CHOPS. When baking ham or pork chops in milk, the -addition of ¼ teaspoon baking soda to each pint of milk prevents the -curdling which so often detracts from the appetizing appearance of the -meat. - - -CORNED BEEF. When boiling corned beef, add ¼ teaspoon baking soda for -each pound of beef. This will improve the color and flavor of the meat. -Cabbage and other vegetables can be cooked in the same water without -becoming dark or slimy. - - -CLEANING MEAT. Clean all meat as soon as unwrapped with a baking soda -solution (1 teaspoon baking soda to 2 cups water). This removes foreign -matter and dried blood. Put on a clean plate and place in refrigerator. - - -FOWL. After drawing fowl, wash well, both inside and out, with a baking -soda solution (1 tablespoon to 2 quarts of water). Let solution run -through the bird several times. Rinse well with clear water. Pat dry -with clean towel. - - -FISH. Clean fish, both inside and out, in a baking soda solution (1 -tablespoon to 2 quarts of water). Dip entire fish in the solution; wash -quickly and rinse in clear water. Dry immediately and store in cold -place. Before opening, wash clams and oysters with a brush dipped in the -baking soda solution. Fresh shrimp and other shell fish should be washed -well in the same strength baking soda solution before cooking. - - -CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP. To prevent curdling, when preparing cream of -tomato soup from canned or home-made tomato purée, add ⅛ teaspoon baking -soda to each cup of soup or purée before adding it to the milk. - - - - - Baking Soda Cleans—Too - - - [Illustration: Baking Soda Cleans—Too] - - -TILE FLOORS AND WALLS. To cleanse such surfaces soiled by splashed -water, etc., sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth and rub briskly. Wipe -with cloth wrung from clean water and dry. The surface will be clean and -shiny. Arm & Hammer or Cow Brand Baking Soda will not harm tile or any -composition material resembling it. - - -ASH TRAYS. Unless cleaned daily these receptacles become offensive. To -cleanse, scrub trays either with a baking soda solution (a small handful -to a quart of warm water) or use a damp cloth sprinkled with bicarbonate -of soda. Rinse and dry. Brass and copper trays may require polishing -with a woolen or other polishing cloth. - - -LINOLEUM OR CONGOLEUM. Dissolve a large handful of baking soda in warm -mop water and clean. Rinse with clean water. Do not allow water to seep -under floor covering. This method of cleaning leaves the linoleum -(inlaid or printed) bright and clean and it will be neither sticky nor -slippery. - - -WASH-BOWLS, TUBS, ETC. Hard water is often responsible for scum and -sediment; grease and dirt adhere to surfaces. To remove these sprinkle -with baking soda and rub briskly with a damp cloth. Baking soda is -immediately soluble and will not clog drains or injure the finest -porcelain or enamel. - - -DRAIN BOARDS. Dampen surfaces, whether wood or enamel, and sprinkle with -Arm & Hammer or Cow Brand Baking Soda. Rub with a damp cloth, rinse and -wipe dry. Rubber or other composition drain boards may be cleaned in the -same way. Bicarbonate of soda, while being a most effective cleanser, -will not harm any of these surfaces. - - -GAS AND OIL STOVE BURNERS. Make a solution of one-quarter pound of -baking soda to one gallon of hot water. Bring to a boil. Immerse the -burners and boil for one hour. They will operate like new. - - -ENAMELED SURFACES. Enameled table tops, stoves, washing machines, etc., -may be cleaned either by sprinkling the soda on the dampened surface or -washing with a baking soda solution (a handful to a basin of warm -water). This removes the oil or grease film which holds the dirt, and -leaves the surface clean and odorless. - - -MILK BOTTLES. Pour a little baking soda into the bottle, half fill with -cool water and shake. If milk is dried on, let bottle soak for a few -minutes. Cold water removes milk more quickly than hot, as hot water -causes a coating of milk to adhere to the glass. Bicarbonate of soda not -only hastens the cleansing process, but sweetens the bottle. Milk cans, -pails and all milk containers are cleansed in the same manner, using -more baking soda in greater quantities of water. - - -FIRE EXTINGUISHER. Arm & Hammer or Cow Brand Baking Soda is unsurpassed -as a fire extinguisher. It not only smothers the fire, but generates -carbonic acid gas which temporarily envelopes the flames, shuts off the -air supply or oxygen, and so extinguishes the fire. - - -BREAD BOXES. Cake and bread boxes, cooky jars, etc., after washing with -soap and water, should frequently be well rinsed with a baking soda -solution, a handful of baking soda to one quart of water. Rinse in clean -water and dry thoroughly. This treatment keeps them fresh and free from -odors. - - -CASSEROLES. Food that is burned onto or adheres to casseroles is easily -removed by soaking for a few minutes in warm water to which a small -handful of baking soda has been added. The bicarbonate of soda loosens -the encrusted particles. - - -REFRIGERATORS. Baking soda, refined mild bicarbonate of soda, is a -soluble cleanser, sweetener and polisher, and cannot scratch the -smoothest surface. It will remove odors by breaking up the oily surface -films, prevent fermentation by removing mold and retard the growth of -bacteria, thus keeping the refrigerator sanitary and fresh. - -Whether the refrigerator is electric, gas, oil or ice, keep the inside -sweet and clean by wiping all surfaces with a soft cloth wrung from cool -or lukewarm water containing a handful of baking soda to each quart of -water, or by generously sprinkling baking soda on a damp cloth and -briskly rubbing the surface to be cleaned. - -Keep ice cubes free from stale or musty flavors by cleaning the ice -trays each week with baking soda in a similar fashion. Also with a -baking soda solution, wash the food containers and the chilling tray -beneath the freezing unit. - -In ice refrigerators, periodically remove drain pipe, ice chamber, pan, -trap and flues for a thorough washing with a hot solution of water and -baking soda. Rinse with clear water. - -A baking soda solution (a small handful to a basin of water) may be used -to wipe the outer surfaces when soiled. - - -SILVER CLEANING. Silver may be cleaned easily and thoroughly by placing -it in an aluminum pan filled with a hot solution of baking soda, salt -and sugar, or in an enamel or granite pan, using a similar solution and -a small piece of aluminum such as a measuring spoon or pot cover. Use -about a tablespoon of each, baking soda, salt and sugar, for every quart -of hot water. Select a large container for convenience. Place the silver -in such a way that it is completely immersed and that each piece comes -in contact with the aluminum or a piece of silver touching the aluminum. -Let it stand until tarnish is removed and the silver becomes shiny and -bright. Heat if necessary. Rinse in hot water and rub dry. This method -removes absolutely no silver, hence it prolongs the life of silverware. -Since the aluminum article will be blackened in the process, do not use -one you care about keeping bright. - -Large pieces of silver, such as candlesticks, cake plates, pitchers, -etc., may also be cleaned this way, making sure they are completely -immersed in the solution. - - -CUT GLASS. Goblets, tumblers and other cut glassware are satisfactorily -cleaned by rubbing the surface with a paste made of Arm & Hammer or Cow -Brand Baking Soda and water. Rinse with cold water and rub with a soft -brush. Soap is unnecessary. - - -CHOCOLATE POTS OR MIXING BOWLS. Dried-on chocolate needs a little -coaxing for removal. Sprinkle with baking soda, fill dishes with warm -water and let soak until their turn comes in the washing. - - -ODORS. Odors from dishes in which fish or onions are cooked, are quickly -killed by sprinkling baking soda in the dish and wiping out thoroughly -with tissue paper. Then wash in hot soapy water, rinse with hot water -and dry. - - -DOG KENNELS AND FEEDING DISHES. Scrub the inside of dog kennels -frequently with a baking soda solution, one package to three gallons of -hot water. Rinse. - -To promote the health of pets, their feeding dishes must be cleansed -frequently. Let soak in a baking soda solution (a handful in a pan of -warm water). This loosens dried-on food. Wash and rinse. - - -BEVERAGE SERVICE. Cups, coasters, pitchers, glasses, spoons, punch -bowls, fruit containers, etc., are all successfully cleaned and -sweetened with bicarbonate of soda. The baking soda is best applied by -sprinkling on a moist cloth and then gently rubbing the object until -clean. Rinse with warm clear water and dry with clean towels having no -lint. - -To clean bottles, decanters, flasks, shakers, etc., which do not permit -interior cleaning by hand, pour the baking soda into the container and -add a little warm (not hot) water. Shake well until clean, then rinse -with fresh water and allow to drain. This leaves the containers in a -sweet clean condition. Repeat after each use. - -Cocktail sets made of glass, silver, etc., are excellently cleaned by -these methods. - - -THERMOS BOTTLES AND JUGS. To keep thermos bottles and jugs clean and -sweet, put a handful of baking soda in jug or bottle, partly fill with -warm water and shake well. Rinse with clean water. Corks and other -closures used for the bottles and jugs are kept odorless by rubbing with -moist baking soda. - - - VEGETABLE COOKERY - -To PRESERVE the fresh green color of beans, peas and greens, a pinch of -baking soda (a pinch is less than ⅛ teaspoon) should be added to the -cooking water. Red vegetables will be most pleasing in appearance if a -little vinegar is added to the cooking water. - -A little vinegar in the cooking water will keep white vegetables from -yellowing. In the case of old carrots, a pinch of baking soda will -shorten the cooking time. - - - TIME TABLE FOR VEGETABLES - - Time: Minutes - - _Vegetable_ _Boiled_ _Steamed_ _Baked_ - Asparagus 15-25 30-40 - Beans, cut 25-30 40-45 - Beets, whole 35-40 - Brussels Sprouts 10-15 15 - Cabbage, chopped 15-20 - cut 20-25 - Carrots, - whole young 15-25 20-30 - whole old 30-40 40-50 - Cauliflower, wh. 15-20 - flowerets 8-10 15-20 - Onions, small 20-25 60 - Peas 20-30 30-40 - Potatoes, white 30-40 35-50 45-60 - Potatoes, sweet 25-30 30-40 45-60 - Pumpkin, cut 30-40 40-50 60 - Spinach 10-15 - Squash 15-20 30-35 40-60 - Turnips 30-60 - - - TABLE OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES - - 3 teaspoons 1 tablespoon - 4 tablespoons ¼ cup - 5⅓ tablespoons ⅓ cup - 8 tablespoons ½ cup - 12 tablespoons ¾ cup - 16 tablespoons 1 cup or ½ pint - A dash less than ⅛ teaspoon - 2 cups 1 pint - 4 cups 2 pints or 1 quart - 4 cups flour 1 pound - 2¼ cups granulated sugar 1 pound - 2 cups brown sugar, firmly 1 pound - packed - 3½ cups confectioners sugar 1 pound - 2 tablespoons butter 1 ounce - 2 cups butter 1 pound - 1 medium egg 2 ounces - 8-10 egg whites 1 cup - 14 egg yolks 1 cup - Juice of 1 medium lemon 3 tablespoons - ½ pound nutmeats 1 cup nutmeats, chopped - - - TEMPERATURE AND TIME TABLE - - Slow Oven Moderate Oven Hot Oven Time - 250° F.-325° F. 350° F.-375° F. 400° F.-500° F. - - Biscuits 15 minutes - Muffins 25-30 minutes - Cookies Cookies 8-15 minutes - Layer Cake 25-30 minutes - Loaf Cake 45 minutes - Loaf Cake (thick) 50-60 minutes - Fruit Cake 3 to 4 hours - Sponge Cake 1 hour - - - LITHO IN U.S.A.
