For Quick Meal
Bake Waffles
When you're having a wonder
ful time with the merry flurry
of Christmas preparations
shopping and making and wrap
ping gifts don't you often wish
you didn't have to take out so
much time for the tedious job
of fixing meals? But, after all,
the family still gets hungry and
you just have to do something
about filling them up. .
And that, my busy friends, is
just the time to put your waf
fle baker to work. Waffles, you
know, are grand filler - uppers
and so quick and easy to make
when you use waffle mix.
If your hungry horde thinks
plain waffles and syrup are
strictly a breakfast dish, there
are ever so many ways to fancy
them up for dinner. Ever try
them with a topping of creamed
chipped beef? U-m-m-m, good!
Another of our favorite cold
weather specialities is Corn Waf
fles. Just add 'A to 1 cup of
drained, canned corn and about
Vfe cup chopped green pepper to
regulate batter made with mix.
Or maybe you'd like to serve
waffles for dessert. Then we
suggest spicy Apple Waffles
dusted with powdered sugar.
Add 'A teaspoon cinnamon, A
teaspoon nutmeg, 1 cup chopped
apples, lA cup chopped nuts to
the batter. Bake them at the last
minute and serve hot so the
powdered sugar dusting melts
a bit.
Another dessert idea is to put
a scoop of ice cream atop each
tender - crisp waffle and pour
lots of butterscotch or chocolate
sauce over .all.
Holiday cookies are a tradi
tion because they're so de
lightful to serve when guests
drop in, and so perfect for "ex
tra" gifts. Possibly you would
make more cookies for the holi
days if you realized how easy it
is to make them, if you have a
few really good recipes. By us
ing a good basic recipe and
changing it with different decor
ations and different flavors and
colors, you can turn out ever
so many cookies with much
less trouble.
Be sure you use good ingred
ients fresh dairy products,
the very best flavorings and col
orings, nice fresh nuts and
fruits.
Probably you don't need to be
reminded that accurate meas
urements mean better baking.
Your chances of success are im
proved, and your chances of fail
ures cut practically to nothing, if
you choose a good basic recipe
and follow the measuring and
mixing directions carefully.
Don't trust your memory on re
cipes for holiday cookies or
any cookies. Unless you use a
recipe almost every day, you
can easily forget one of the in
gredients, or put the recipe to
gether in the wrong order.
So don't change the meth
od or leave out ingredients. Get
the fun of creating something
new by the decorations and col-
Egg sandwiches for school
lunchboxes may be varied a
number of ways. Add a few ta
blespoons of crumbled crisp ba
con to the chopped hard-cooked
egg and salad dressing to moist
en. Or spread the sandwich
bread with deviled ham before
topping with the egg mixture
stir until dissolved. Rinse small
molds or custard cups- in cold
water and fill with cranberry
mixture. Chill until firm. Un-
mold and top with garnish of
cream cheese put through pastry
tube.
