HINTS FOR
HOMEMAKERS
By Miss Virginia Bkmnt, Horn#
Service Director Virginia Electric
And Power Company
The fundamentals of pastry mak
ng must be mastered before one can
ichieve success in pie making. Wheth
er the finished result is to be just aj
plain substantial everyday sort of(
pic or thistledown creation of puff
paste. One must in a way have the |
deft touch of an artist to be able to
make really fine put^j but fortunate- (
ly this touch may be acquired by prac-.
tice and experimental work if atten-(
tion is given to a few principles, as
follows:
1. Lightness depends upon the
temperature of ingredients (when1
possible chill paste before uslnjf tor
pie).
2. Tenderness depends upon the?
i A. Amount of moisture (only c
nough ice water to lightly bind the
ingredients together should be used).
B. Kind of flour. A soft winter
wheat cake or pastry flour should be
used to produce light, tender crusty
3. Flakiness depends upon the(
method of handling the mixture. Use
a knife or spatula rather than the
fingers as the heat from the hand
melts-fat and warms the ^aste, mak
ing a tough dough.
Plain Paatry
One and one-half cup flour, cold
water to make dougli (about 1-4 of
a cup; 1-2 tsp. salt; 1-2 cup of fat;
1-4 tsp. baking powder (use if a be-'
ginner in pastry making).
Sift dry ingredients, cut in fat
thoroughly for a flaky crust. Stir in
water slowly . and cautiously, just
enough to hold dough together.
Knead lightly to mix well. Chill be
fore it is rolled. Rub just enough
flour on bread board to keep pastry
from sticking. Roll lightly with roll
ing pin to about 1-8 inch thickness.
Fold over half way, slip into pan,
turn half to cover entire pan, press it
down carefully and trim edges with
knife. Prick with fork in center for
-steam to escape. Bake in hot oven
500 degrees for five minutes. If bak
ed with filling, continue at a lower
temperature until pie is baked. This
recipe makes two 9-inch crusts.
- Puff Paste
One pound of butter, 1 tsp. salt, 1
tsp. baking powder, 4 cups flour and
cold water.
Sift fourcups sifted pastry flour,
one teaspoon salt together. Add one
half pound of butter; cut in lightly.
As soon as mixed well add ice water
slowly to make stiff dough, which is
right to roll out. Turn out on light
ly floured bread board and knead
lightly till smooth. Place in ice box
to chill. Roll out paste starting from
the center and rolling out to edge
each way to about 1-2 inch thick.
Slice butter thin placing it over one
half of paste center section, fold
over one side, butter top of this,
fold over other side. Butter entire
top then fold over both ends. Roll
lightly, let chill. This will keep sev
eral days if kept covered in a cold
place.
To Bake Puff Paste
Baking of puff paste requires a
much care and judgment as making
After shapings chill thoroughly be
fore baking. Puff paste requires ho
oven 500 degrees, greatest heat com
ing from the botton, that paste ma;
properly rise. Puff paste should b
baked on a tin covered with a shee
of brown paper. _____
Variation
In place of last half pound of but
ter, use grated cheese and follow di
rections carefully to make delicious
cheese straws.
Late Hatched Pullets
Make Poor Producen
?
Reds and Rocks require a longe
period to mature and it is best t<
hatch these out during early Marc!
if possible. Late-hatched pullets c
any breed will not make as good pre
ducers as early hatched birds an
this applies especially to the heav
breeds of Rocks and Reds. Fc
broiler purposes, however, eggs ma
be hatched at anytime.
jQur Negijoes was suggested to appear
with Sarvis tomorrow, but only one
white and one Negro were appointed.
The remaining committeemen will be
chosen at a meeting scheduled to take
place the same time Friday night.
Delegation In Washington
Seeks Lower Tobacco Tax
?
Washington.?After adopting a res
olution urging a 40 per cent horizon
tal reduction in federal tobacco taxes,
s group of governors and their rep
resentatives from tobacco-growing
states Wednesday went into executive
conference with Secretary of Agri
Headed by Goverilbr Ehrinhans, of
North Carolina, the delegation met
Wednesday to urge the horizontal re
duction in federal tobacco taxes and
passage of the Kerr bill for control
of tobaozo production.
While those concerned realise that
many difficulties will attend the effort
to secure a reduction of tobacco taxes
during the remaining weeks of the *e?
sion, which are certain to be crowded
and eventful, a determined and con
certed effort will nevertheless be made
to accomplish this.
'DAVY'GROCKETT
FEATURED IN AD
Another interesting historical point |
?this time about "Davy" Crockett?1
m being featured in the Mir rent Chil-J
ran natural Nitrate advertisement pub
lished in this paper. Crockett's hand- j
to-hand fight at the Alamo where he
met his death in 1836 is pictured
That tragic massacre at the Alamo
in San Antonio, Tex., occurred just
six years after Chilean Nitrate was
first used to fertilizer Southern crops.
The first shipload of Chilean Natural"
Nitrate came to the U. S. in 1830?
104 years ago. Tt has been used stead
ily ever since, and has become almost
the backbone of successful farming
i throughout the entire south.
I "Davy' Crockett is known for the
| facts and fables of his marksman
! ship, for his colorful life, for his many
(wilderness exploits. But he was also
( a humorist and a philosopher. Some
one once criticized his spelling and
his grammar. That made "Davy"
' laugh.
| "Haw/ he answered, "while critics
were learning their grammar and their
( spelling, I and Doctor Jackson, L.L.D.
I were fighting in the wars. We had
' more important matter to attend to
crossin' t's and dottin' i's and such
like small things."
| Crockett's spectacular death in the
I Alamo was exactly the death he de
sired. Many years before he died he
I wrote: "Die like a brave man. And
j I know* no whether, in the eyes of
the world, a brilliant death is not pre
fer cd-try-an-abscure life of rqefflmfc.
Most fhfefl are remembered .as tney
died, and not as they lived. We gaze
with admiration upon the glories of
the setting sun, yet scarcely bestow a
passing glance upon the noon-day
splendor."
