Baking Helps Learn to Regulate the Heat of Your Oven By Mrs. Janet McKenzie Hill, Editor of the Boston Cooking School Magazine There.is just one way to make your cakes rise high and keep an even surface. Have your oven moderate at first, until the cake is fully rizen; then increase the heat, so as to brown it over quickly.

Extreme heat stiffens the dough. If you stiffen the. outside of the cake before the rising is complete, you stop 'the rising process. Then the leavening gas, forming inside, will bulge up the center, where the dough is still soft, and spoil the shape of the cake. 88 NOTE--Biscuits or other pastries made from stiff dough, that are cut into shapes for the oven, bake in a hot oven.

This is because the cut surfaces of the dough do not sear over, but rather leave the pores open, allowing the leavening gas to escape and the heat to penetrate readily. Small ovens cool quickly; therefore they should be made several degrees hotter than a larger oven, and the less the door is opened the better. Do not attempt to bake bread and pastry together. Bread requires prolonged, moderate bakingpastry the reverse. Have a strong underheat for baking powder preparations, especially pastry.

These are only a few of the many baking helps found in the Cook's Book a copy of which may be secured by sending the colored certificate taken from a 25-cent can of Baking der to the JAQUES MEG.
