RYZON QUICK BREADS
Quick breads are delicious when fresh, and are so called to distinguish
them from yeast breads, which require a longer time for making and
baking.
Quick bread mixtures are either doughs or batters. Batter means “that
which is battered or beaten”; dough means “that which is wet or
moistened.” A quick bread should be quickly mixed, and put into the
oven at once. Doughs require a hotter oven than batters. Too great heat
causes bubbles of gas or air to burst and run together.
Popovers are made light by the expansion of the liquid in them as it
is changed to steam by the heat of the oven, the heat at the same
time forming a crust, which keeps the steam from escaping. When done,
popovers should be crisp, hollow inside, several times the height of
the batter and well cooked throughout.
When griddle cakes are full of bubbles on the top, and brown on one
side, they should be turned over and browned on the other side. If
large bubbles rise immediately to the top of the cakes, the griddle
is too hot. Never turn a griddle cake twice; a cake turned twice will
be heavy and indigestible. Use a firm piece of beef suet on a fork to
grease a griddle. Do not grease a soapstone griddle.
GOOD FLOUR AND HOW TO KNOW IT
Bread flour, made from hard spring wheat, rich in gluten, is more
nutritious and makes the elastic dough necessary for producing light
bread. It is known by its creamy white color, by its gritty feeling, by
its capacity for absorbing water, and by its caking but slightly when
squeezed in the hand. Pastry flour, made from soft or winter wheat,
contains more starch than bread flour. It is used for pies, cakes,
etc., but a good substitute may be made by sifting four tablespoonfuls
of cornstarch or potato flour into each pint of bread flour. Always
sift flour before measuring.

natural. Raisins are not only a great system builder, they are also one

Waffles are artistically shaped pancakes as to their constitution, and,
like these, admit of interesting and even greater variations. Their
name in Old French was _waufre_, which has developed into _gaufre_
and _gauffre_. The word is related to the German _Wabe_, _honeycomb_,
and as such would be derived from the _shape_ of the _waffle_, which
represents a large-celled honeycomb.

_Master Recipe_
RYZON WAFFLES
4 level teaspoonfuls RYZON.
2 level cupfuls (½ pound) flour.
½ level teaspoonful salt.
2 eggs—separated.
1½ cupfuls (¾ pint) milk.
4 tablespoonfuls (2 ounces) melted butter.
Mix flour with RYZON and salt and sift into bowl. Beat yolks of eggs,
add butter and milk. Add this mixture gradually to dry ingredients,
beating thoroughly. When well mixed fold in the stiffly beaten whites
of eggs. Pour from a pitcher into the center of a hot, well-greased
waffle iron. Serve with melted butter and maple syrup or with cinnamon
and sugar. Other fat may be used in place of butter but the waffles
will not brown as well.
PREPARATION OF WAFFLE IRON:—Heat the iron on both sides thoroughly.
Grease the iron with a piece of salt pork or a padded fork dipped into
bacon drippings. Reverse the iron to distribute the fat evenly. Open,
and fill the iron two-thirds full. Cover and cook about one minute on
one side, then turn and cook a little longer on the other side.
This amount will fill waffle iron six times.
This recipe may be varied by substituting ¾ cupful cold boiled rice
in place of 1 cupful wheat flour, and in this way save flour for the
government while still serving delicious waffles.
As a breakfast or luncheon dish waffles are well known. Equally welcome
are the waffles served with hot chocolate or coffee in the afternoon,
or for an after theatre supper, especially when the use of an electric
waffle iron makes baking at the table possible.

RYZON PEA PANCAKES
BY FORECAST MODERN SCHOOL OF COOKERY
2 level cupfuls (1 pint) peas (dried).

1 cupful (½ pint) milk.
2 egg yolks.
Pepper.
½ level teaspoonful salt.
1 level tablespoonful (½ ounce) butter or fat.

To make this recipe it is best to use the split pea, which can be
secured either in bulk or package form. These peas cook in an hour's
time after soaking.
When the peas are tender, put through a food chopper and mix the
ingredients. A tablespoonful of this mixture placed on a hot griddle or
frying pan makes a good-sized pancake.
If a richer pancake is desired than the one suggested in this recipe,
one-quarter pound salt pork may be boiled and ground with the peas.
The residue strained from pea soup may be economically used for the
above.
Sufficient for twelve pancakes.

and milk, and beat for ten minutes. Grease well the inside of a small
frying pan, and place it over a moderate fire. When it is sufficiently
hot, pour in enough of the batter to cover the surface of pan. When
cooked spread with jelly, and fold into rolls. Serve hot. They may be
used as a dessert, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and a few drops of
lemon juice.
Sufficient for ten pancakes.

bowl. Beat up eggs, add milk, and combine the two mixtures. If liked,
a tablespoonful of molasses may be added to the batter. Heat a griddle
and grease it with a piece of fat. Pour the cakes on the griddle from
a large spoon or from a pitcher. When the cakes are full of bubbles,
turn with a broad knife, and brown the other side. Wipe griddle with a
dry cloth and grease again after each baking. One of the eggs may be
omitted, and ¼ level teaspoonful RYZON added.
