Winter Favored
Baking Time
Cold winter days are wonderful
for baking, and many women like
to spend a day now and then work
ing up interesting baked, things.
Here we offer several suggestions
for that big day.
Bake a loaf of quick bread with
crisp walnuts and golden dried
apricots. Spread with cream
cheese spread to take the place
of a dessert in lunch boxes, or to
make a delicious between-meal
snack. . .
For an upside-down cake that
rates high with youngsters, ar
range, well-drained canned cling
peach slices in a mixture of but
ter and brown sugar in bottom of
pan. Top with batter made with
orange or lemon flavored cake mix
for special flavor. Best warm, like
all upside-down cakes.
Steam dried figs a few minutes
and chop fine to stir into cookie
dough. Soft, cake-like cookies taste
better than ever with chewy mor
sels of flavorful figs..
