Laboratory Exercises (Lb bicarbonate of soda lb)

lb. bicarbonate of soda 14 lb. cream of tartar 4 oz. cornstarch 1. Mix soda and cornstarch together and sift three or four times in a fine flour sieve. 2. Add the cream of tartar and sift seven or eight times. Put into Mason jars and screw the covers down tightly. (Always keep the baking powder can tightly covered to prevent the baking powder losing strength.) Ginger Bread. 24 C. flour 1 t. soda 1½ t. ginger t. salt 1 C. molasses C. boiling water 1 egg 4 T. melted butter 1. Mix and sift dry ingredients. 2. Add boiling water to the molasses and stir into the dry ingredients. 3. Add well beaten egg and melted butter. Beat well. 4. Pour into a buttered shallow pan and bake about 25 min. in a moderate oven. If the bottom of the pan is lined with a sheet of buttered paper, the ginger bread will be less apt to burn on the bottom.

Note. This recipe may be made without the egg.
