Desserts
It is not economy to go without dessert! This may seem a startling statement, but when one realizes that energy-producing foods are absolutely necessary for the body to carry on its work, and that the dessert is richest of all in energymaking properties, the sound sense back of the statement is apparent.
At the same time, a dessert may be used to round out the meal in various ways. If it is necessary to add more of the muscle-making elements, an egg, milk, or nut dessert should be chosen. If advisable to incorporate more fat into the menu, this may be done by means of a dessert, rich in fat, made with Snowdrift, or by means of a Snowdrift Pudding Sauce.
If there is a shortage of bread, one of the desserts in this book, made from Baking Powder Biscuit dough, will help to fill up the niche. If the meal demands a fruit flavor to balance it, there is the whole gamut of "Bettys" to draw upon, and they can be made with Snowdrift, too, instead of butter.
