The Calumet Book of Oven Triumphs!

All your baking can be perfect

[Illustration: Velvet-soft and velvet-fine—every cake]

What makes a perfect cake? Even rising? Tender brown crust? Delicate flavor and fragrance? All these qualities and one more—the fine, moist, tender texture that is hard to describe by any word except “velvety”!

“Velvety crumb”—that is the expression cake judges use in speaking of the beautiful texture of cakes leavened by Calumet, the Double-Acting Baking Powder.

See it in this close-up picture of a slice of Calumet cake! Then make any cake in this book—cut a slice and feel a crumb between thumb and finger. Soft as velvet! Touch the cut surface. So moist and springy! Now taste a morsel of the cake. Velvet-fine—velvet-smooth!

Every Calumet cake, plain cake or party cake, dark or light or golden-yellow, has this same lovely texture—thanks to Calumet’s dependable Double-Action. Use the recipes in this book, following Calumet’s thrifty proportion with care, and all your cakes will be perfect—the envy and admiration of your friends!

[Illustration: Light, tender, golden brown—every biscuit]

What makes a perfect biscuit? A little flaky, crusty morsel—and pass the plate often—that’s the South’s perfect biscuit, while a Yankee biscuit is fluffy and high as your Grandmother’s comforter. Westerners like sugar and spice.... New Yorkers have a fondness for the old-world flavor of cheese.

But thick or thin, sweet or tangy, the best biscuits the country over are light and tender biscuits—perfectly leavened biscuits.

Calumet, the modern Double-Acting Baking Powder, will show you the way to biscuits light as air, delicately brown and tender. And on pages 19 to 20 are tested Calumet recipes, based on Calumet’s marvelously economical proportion, for any type of biscuit you prefer to make and serve.

There is an extra touch of perfection in every quick bread made with Calumet. Muffins are tender, evenly risen, free from humps and from tunnels. Waffles, griddle cakes, cookies, gingerbread, all owe a new quality and sureness to Calumet’s Double-Action. Read on and see just how it works!

CALUMET’S DOUBLE-ACTION What it means to your baking!

First Action

[Illustration: Just enough leavening in the mixing bowl]

See Calumet’s First Action. It begins in the mixing bowl when you add liquid (milk, water, or eggs) to the dry ingredients. The instant liquid is added, things begin to happen. Thousands of tiny gas bubbles surge through the batter, making it light and spongy and ready for baking. BUT—only part of Calumet’s leavening gas is released in the mixing bowl....

Second Action

[Illustration: —just enough leavening in the oven]

Calumet’s Second Action is released by heat. See what happens in the oven. Steadily, evenly, hundreds of new tiny bubbles swell through the batter and continue the leavening. Up! ... up! ... they keep raising the batter and hold it high and light. Thanks to these two scientifically balanced actions, Calumet Baking Powder protects your baking from start to finish.

Baking powder is a small part of any given recipe, yet it plays such an important role that it is often called “the biggest little thing in baking”. Too much or too little baking powder or baking powder that is not efficient ... what a lot of baking trouble that can cause! Humped, uneven cakes ... dry, harsh, coarse-grained cakes ... even flat failures!

Calumet’s two leavening actions are perfectly timed and balanced to give maximum protection and superb quality to all your baking. A little of this Double-Acting Calumet does a superfine job—and this means extra economy for Calumet users. The usual Calumet proportion is 1 level teaspoon per cup of sifted flour. This amount is only one-half to two-thirds the amount recommended for many other baking powders.

Most of the recipes in this book call for this proportion. In some recipes, however, the number of eggs, the type of flour, or the nature of other ingredients make advisable slightly more or slightly less. But every recipe has been tested again and again and has been carefully built with exactly the right proportions to give you the full advantage of Calumet’s Double-Action. Follow these recipes accurately, faithfully, and rejoice in the efficiency and economy of Calumet.

Such a comfort to busy women! CALUMET BATTERS CAN WAIT

[Illustration: Mix batter ... wrap tightly]

[Illustration: Store in a cold place]

[Illustration: Bake when you please ... without last minute bustle]

Cake Batter on hand in the icebox! Muffin batter! Cooky dough! Ready to slip into the oven and bake whenever you want them.

Fresh, hot, good things for dinner without the fuss and flurry of last minute mixing! Three or four hot desserts for week-end meals from one batter mixing! No more cake failures because of ringing doorbells and children’s demands just when a batter is ready for the oven.

Calumet batters can wait—for moments or for days! This is another wonderful advantage that Calumet’s Double-Action brings you. For even when you store cake batter for days, you can count on perfect lightness when you bake it.

If baking is to be delayed only an hour or so, slip the bowl or pan of batter into the refrigerator. To store longer, follow directions below. Turn to page 11 for a large quantity cake recipe that will give you batter for three quick desserts—a real Miracle Cake.

1. Mix Calumet batter, pour in pan; cover tightly, first with a damp cloth, and then with waxed paper. Tie securely.

2. Store batter in a cold place until you are ready to bake. Calumet’s second action will be held in reserve until the batter reaches the heat of the oven.

3. Unwrap pans and bake as usual. Results will be perfect—delicately light, tender, fine and velvety in texture. How delightful to serve things fresh-baked—hot—delicious, without one bit of last-minute fuss and flurry ... thanks to Calumet’s remarkable Double-Action.

REMEMBER THESE POINTS whenever you bake.

[Illustration: Sift flour before measuring—fill cup lightly]

[Illustration: Measure baking powder exactly—a level teaspoon]

Do be orderly. Plan your baking before you start. Choose your recipe, read it through carefully, understand it clearly. Collect all the ingredients specified, and arrange them in the order called for in the recipe; assemble all the utensils needed on your work table. Cultivate the do-it-right habit.

Do use good ingredients. You can’t do first-rate baking with second-rate materials. Use fresh, sweet shortening and eggs of fine quality. Use fine granulated sugar, unless some other kind is called for in your recipe. Remember that baking powder and flour are the most important ingredients in baking. Give yourself the protection and advantages of Calumet, the Double-Acting Baking Powder ... and of Swans Down Cake Flour, too, whenever the recipe calls for it. It gives to cakes and to certain quick breads a fineness and lightness that you cannot expect from ordinary flour.

Don’t use more Calumet than the recipes call for. Calumet’s Double-Action gives it extra efficiency—less of its leavening gas is lost from the surface of batters during mixing. Thousands of tests have proved that the small amounts of Calumet Baking Powder specified in these recipes will give you best results. One level teaspoon of Calumet to a cup of sifted flour is the correct proportion for most recipes. In some recipes the nature of the ingredients makes advisable slightly more or slightly less.

THESE ARE BASIC RULES for surest, best results!

[Illustration: A bit of care brings results in preparing pans]

[Illustration: Watch your baking temperatures—finally, test the cake]

Do measure all ingredients accurately with standard measuring cups and standard measuring spoons. A standard measuring cup is an accurate half-pint measure—the equivalent of 16 level tablespoons. It is grooved on one side to read ¼, ½, and ¾; on the other, to read ⅓ and ⅔. A standard tablespoon is equivalent to 3 standard teaspoons. Always sift flour once before measuring, and remember that all standard measurements are level.

Do mix carefully. Follow exactly the mixing directions given in each recipe. The way you combine and handle your ingredients is important.

Do use the type and size of pans specified in the recipes, and prepare your pans before mixing. A greased paper lining in pans for large butter cakes gives added protection.

Do handle cakes carefully, after baking. Place butter cake and pan on cake rack, for about 5 minutes; then remove from pan, and turn cake, top side up, on rack to finish cooling. For sponge cakes, follow directions given in recipes.

Don’t guess about your baking temperatures. If your stove does not have an oven heat regulator, use a portable thermometer. It does not control heat, but it does tell you when to adjust the baking temperature.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
