Breads

One Loaf of Yeast Bread, can be made at a time, and quickly, if the proportion of yeast is increased.

Any Baking Powder Mixture can be mixed in the desired quantity, and almost any kind of loaf can be made with it--white, whole wheat, graham, oatmeal, bran, nut, raisin, etc. Baked in a small pan, these loaves will be used up before they are dry.

Biscuits and Muffins are the ideal home made bread for the small family. Pancakes and Waffles are always possible, and may be served as breakfast or luncheon breads, as accompaniments to meat or chicken, or as a dessert, with fruit, honey, maple sirup or a sauce. With a table griddle or iron they can be cooked in the dining-room and served piping hot.

A Layer or Loaf Cake which can be consumed in one or two meals can be baked in small pans. Half of an average recipe will make two of these small layers as well as several cup cakes or a sheet which can be cut into squares and frosted or not as desired.

If Rolled Cookies Are Too Much Trouble, use any recipe for drop cookies. These can be flattened out with a knife and made as thin as you wish.
