No Waiting A Good Recipe for Baking Powder Biscuits You will always want the fluffy, delicious biscuits this recipe makes, once you try it. It is one of the favorites of the best cooks. Women who visit New England always look forward to the wholesome dishes they have heard so much about. During their stay they learn of the time tried recipes that have been handed down for generations. They learn, too, of the advice that is handed down with these recipes: “You'll never have any trouble with it if you use John Alden Flour.” John Alden Flour, unvarying in its purity and whiteness, is milled especially for the famous old recipes of New England women. You can be certain of the same success in cooking that has brought fame to other cooks by following their directions and using the same flour they insist upon using. Continental Products Company Belden Street, New Britain, Conn., EATMOREWHEAT - Baking Powder Biscuits Use level measurements. Sift flour one time before measuring.

(If sour milk is used instead of sweet, use ¥ tsp. cf soda and only 2 tsp. baking powder.) Sift the baking powder, ealt, and fthe soda, if‘it is used, with the flour. Cutin the shortening, add the liquid, and pat out on a floured board to about one inch in thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. 3ake in a bot oven 12 to 15 minates.
