Friday. February 4, 1949.—'Half
the time and much easier to

report on testing the new Robin |
Hood Self-Rising Flour in mak-
ing pastry.
2Mr cups Robin Hood Self-
Rising Flour
Mrs. Croley. who lives at 604
Edwards, Winnsboro was chosen
by International Milling Company,
Greenville, Texas, to test a new
Self-Rising Flour pastry rec'pe
using Robin Hood Self-Rising
Flour, as a resi le o.” her recim-l
mendation by her r.eighb ?rs end
associates as a go<cook and
Judge of fine baking.
“To begin with," says Mrs. Cro-
ley. “there’s practically nothing to
a Self-Rising Flour recipe for pas-
try. Al! one needs is Robin Hood
Self-Rising Flour, a little shorten-
ing. and some ice water . . And
a little “elbow grease." too, I
guess! |
"I found that Robin Hood Self-
Rising Flour blended quickly and
easily with the shortening and
produced a dough which rolb*d
out smoothly and evenly. The fin-
ished product, as baked in a pie.
was tender and flaky, and added
much to the taste and attractive-
ness of the pie.
need to add baking powder or soft I
for seasoning. I'm telling my I
friends that they are missing a li
great experience if they don't try I
the new Self-Rising Flour in their ■'
baking. What I want now is more I
Self-Rising recipes, so I can try Ij
all kinds of baking with it!**
