COOKING HINTS
Cakes should be baked as soon as they are mixed.
Raisins should always be stoned.
Candied peel should always be thinly sliced.
For nice pastry, always sift the flour.
For scones and rolls, always use a very quick oven.
For buns and small cakes, a moderate quick oven.
For large cakes, not quite so quick.
For sponge cakes, a moderate oven.
Test the oven before baking—don’t guess.
