Sugar Saver Fruit Cake Statistics Told, Recipe Corrected, Shortbread Rule Given By Maxiae Bnren Statesman Woman's Editor We never know what fate has in store for us, this time it stored the 2 cups sugar which should have been included in the recipe for fruit cake Friday morning, and which didn't get into the story published in the Statesman. Anyway, you may add two cups sugar to the recipe for "Rich Fruit Christmas Special! Cake.' Incidentally, we made it on Thursday night. Having forgotten during the war years details of how much the recipe makes we kept books and now have a few statistics to offer. The recipe made three good sized loaf cakes, weighing slight ly over 2z pounds uncooked, and under two pounds when cooked. Forgetting to buy the grape juice, and stubbornly refusing-to wait another night to mix up the cake, we used peach and apricot juice, which of course gives just as good flavor but produces a cake lighter in color. This reminds us that in the old days, when we made a second batch, we used to replace all the dark fruits with light raisins and other light col ored fruits, and used less spices and a light colored fruit juice, which produced a very attractive light cake. Our fruit cake this year cost us a little under 50 cents per pound, allowing ample cost for materials. We substituted vegetable short ening for the butter because we couldn't see that dearer-than-gold butter flavor would be missed with all the rich fruit flavors.

Soath 12th St. a high price, but this is a rich Cake. We would not recommend the use of vegetable shortening in Christmas cookies which depend on butter for flavor, such as short bread and Berliner Kranz. We got into hot water years ago for. publishing a recipe for shortbread which didn't pass mus ter of all the experts direct from the old country, so give this recipe merely as our own favorite not the only good recipe for shortbread which exists in the world: SCOTCH SHORTBREAD 1 pound butter cup sugar 8 cups flour Have butter at room tempera ture, add sugar, work in sugar with hands. This' hand working seems necessary as the moisture warmth makes flour and butter combine more r!adily. Divide into quarters and pt to Vi inch thick ness, cutting irto fancy shapes. Bake at 300 degrees to dry out but not brown. i In case you are the sanitary type and refuse to put hands into butter, better make another type cookie. For Christmas Shop w n.
