Royal Baking Powder Company

“ As will such angry kings;
And roared, “It’s plain to see your fare
Lacks most essential things.
“No cakes, no cookies and no buns,
No biscuits—not a tart!
None of the things real fellows like,
Why Bill, it breaks my heart! ”

“ BIRTHDAY CAKE 1 cup butter 11⁄2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon lemon extract 5 eggs 1⁄3 cup milk 21⁄2 cups pastry flour 2 teaspoons Dr. Price’s Baking Powder Cream butter thoroughly; beat in sugar, a little at a time. Add flavoring and yolks of eggs beaten until pale yellow. Add milk, beating in a little at a time. Beat egg whites until light. Sift flour with baking powder three times. Add alternately small portions of egg whites and flour and stir mixture until light and fluffy. ”

“ Cut out with medium-size biscuit cutter which has been dipped in flour. Then taking a smaller cutter, cut 1⁄2 of these rounds again. Brush the large rounds lightly with melted butter. Then take the outer rings and lay on top of the large buttered rounds. Put on greased baking tin. Put a teaspoon of jam in each tart and bake in hot oven (475°) for about 10 minutes. The small centers can be brushed with butter and baked in the same manner and served as little tea biscuits. ”
