To admit this would be to deny the very motto of Sunshine Bakers, which always has been—better biscuits This striving for & better soda cracker has beenafoot for years—just as with other Sunshine Biscuits. Now, as every housewife knows, the taste of food is the result of ma- nipulating two mysteries, ingredients and preparation. : Itis in the perfect balancing of these that success comes—in better flavor, lightness and eating quality. Tosecure : these in a soda cracker several new methods have been employed. ‘A differ- ent way of working the dough, an ad- vance in the blending of flour, in differ- ent cutting, and even aspeciallyshaped cracker as an aid to thorough baking. ' The New Sunshine Soda Cracker made by the Fyl] Grain” Process If baking isn’t an art, fallen cakes and heavenly pie crust couldn’t come from the same cook. Uniformity is the key to all successful baking. You get the process right, and then hold it, no matter what the conditions are. The “how’’ of this, is the real diffi- culty, It means: - Special temperatures-strictly held, no matter what the weather; A brand new ovens; Just way of working the dough so that it can’t possibly toughen; A different method of cutting the biscuit ; Most careful waichfulness at the the right percentage of gluten in the wheat ; The outcome of this process is a new kind of soda cracker, full flavored, rich, of fine texture and good looking plumpness, The flavor of this cracker owes muck 1o its shape (patented). The noiched sides form vent holes in the sheet of crackers as they bake. This assures through and through baking, In gddition this cracker is more convenient to eat—docsn't crumble and can readily be split in two. . ~made in the “thousand window bakeries " by The LooseWiles Biscuit Co.
