Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fowler's Household Helps and Economy Book: Brimful of "Tried and True" Helps About the Home, Carefully Compiled, Classified and Indexed for Frequent Use Bran Bread - Mix 3 cups bran flour and 3 rounded teaspoons baking powder; add 3 tablespoons molasses, 1 1/2 cups sweet milk and 1 tablespoon melted butter. After thorough mixing, pour in well-greased pan (use small pan to get best results). Smooth off top with spoon dipped in water, and set over a warm oven about 35 minutes to raise; then bake slowly about 45 minutes. Plenty of raisins added makes a delicious loaf. Try toasting bran bread for breakfast. For luncheon, spread bran bread with jam, jelly or honey. Peanut butter is also excellent on bran bread. Barley Flour War Bread - Use one cup each of white flour and barley flour and 1/2 cup of rice flour; one tablespoon shortening. 1/4 of a yeast cake, one tablespoon of sugar, one teaspoon salt, and one cup water or milk. This makes one loaf of very good bread. Old Fashioned Ginger Bread - Beat 4 tablespoons fat, gradually adding 4 tablespoons sugar; add 3/4 teaspoon each of ground ginger and cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, continuing the beating; add 1/2 cup boiling water; sift 2 cups of wheat flour with 3/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and add, alternately with this sifted flour, 1/2 cup (level) of molasses, stirring and beating till perfectly smooth; then add a well-beaten egg. Put in shallow greased tin and place at once in steady, moderate oven about 1/2 hour. (All measures taken level.) To Make One Pound of Butter Equal Two, add gradually to a pound of butter, a pint of milk and a little salt, beating it with eggbeater or fork until smooth; you will have two pounds instead of one. Substitute for Butter for table use: Dissolve one-half teaspoonful powdered gelatine in a tablespoonful of water; add one-half cup of milk, moderately hot, and one-quarter pound good oleomargarine. Beat till creamy and cool in the icebox. Home-Made Peanut Butter - Grind one pound of shelled and skinned peanuts through food chopper twice, using nut-butter grinder; add one teaspoon salt, mixing well. A teaspoonful of above in home-made candy gives a delicious flavor. A little put in salad dressing gives a fine nut flavor. To avoid the dryness of peanut butter which makes it cling to the roof of the mouth, mix with an equal amount of good tart apple sauce. To Bake Apples Quickly - Core apples and prepare for baking as usual; put them in water and boil till soft (about ten minutes); remove, and place in baking-pan, pouring some of the water over them in which they were boiled; sprinkle with sugar as usual. Put them in a hot oven about five minutes to brown. Requires less than one-half usual time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
