TESTED RECIPES BUTTER MAKES A DIFFERENCE What is it that makes one cake or batch of cookies taste so much better than another? True, every ingredient affects the finished product but it is the shortening that makes the mark­ ed difference in palatability. Strong- flavoured shortenings give a pro­ nounced, usually objectionable, taste to cakes and cookies, while on the other hand, flavour is lacking in bak­ ed goods made with a tasteless or very mild type of shortening. With­ out taking into consideration its nu­ tritional superiority due to vitamin content, the distinctive, inimitable flavour of butter justifies -its general use for highest quality baking. The Milk Utilization Service, Dairy Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, in recommending the following recipes for “butter” cakes and cookies, draws attention to the fact that butter is very easily and quickly creamed if left in room tem­ perature for a short time before ing.
