It teems a bit too much to
come along now with ideal for
coffee parties following Salem's
coffee party summer but fall
is here practically, and some
how these little doughnuts
seemed just right to suggest for
coffee-and, too, they looked
io good. -
; Center your table with
pyramid of these tiny golden
tea' doughnuts for an attractive
and tasty conversation piece.
To make the pyramid, frost the
doughnut balls and stack them
while the Icing is still moist
enough to help hold the dough
nuts together. You may, if you
like, alternate rows of frosted
with unfrosted doughnuts to
please those who prefer the
unfrosted variety.
These tempting little tidbits
are as easy to make as they
are fun to serve. They'll be
perfect, tender, and delicious
if you follow a tested recipe
and fry them In a digestible
shortening that blends meat
fats and vegetable oils. Use a
frying thermometer to keep
the melted fat at just the rec
ommended temperature for fry
ing the doughnuts. Too high a
temperature causes the fat to
"smoke" and give off fumes,
while too low a temperature
results in greater fat absorp
tion, so it is Important to reg
ulate the heat carefully. This

Should Be Nourishing
(AF Mm Statural)
After-school snacks are Ira
portant for growing young
sters, nutritionists agree, be
cause many 'boys and girls
who work and play hard
quickly use up the energy
mealtime food provides.
Snacks count, too, because
boys and girls need the warm
feeling of having Mother wel
come them with a treat, ready
to listen to anything they want
to tell her about the day's hap
penings ' before they're off
again lor bef ore-supper out
door play.
' A crunchy red apple to b'te
Into! A juicy orange! A crisp
cookie lull of brown sugar,
spice and everything nice! A
chunky slice of oatmeal quick
bread, studded with dates or
figsl Frosty glasses of milk!
Snacks like these tasted good
when the first little red
ichoolhouse was built, and
they still do.
You'll like the variations
suggested with both these reci
pes because they give you lee-
way to use whatever happens
to be in the house, and they
also make interesting taste
changes. '
