Fats Important Item in
Diet; Butter Fine Source
By the Bureau of Home Economics,
V. 8. Department of Agriculture
The feeling of satisfaction tbat fol
low good meal la due largely to t.
fata which were either a part of 'e
food Itself or were added to it for
flavor, nutritionists say. We are told
that the people of Europe who were
short of fat during the war years
felt hungry nearly all the time, even
when their actual needs were satis
fied. It Is fat that gives staying
power to food, and fat, together with
starch and sugar, gives to food Its
energy value. Therefore the Bureau
of Home Economics of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture calls atten
tion wo to, the Importance of fats
In low-cost meals, to make the meals
more appetizing and also to make
them "stick to the ribs."
There Is some fat, of course. In al
most every kind of food, whether an
lmal or vegetable. But all the vege
tables and some cuts of meat taste
better to most people if some fat Is
added, either In cooking or In serv
ing, and that is where the so-called
table fats come In Including butter,
margarine and the salad oils.
Butter, whlcb Is used to a greater
extent than any other table fat, la
Just now a remarkable food bargain.
In fact, the price Is down to the
lowest point In more than 30 years.
To the good cook, the butter fla
vor Is a desirable addition to almost
any vegetable dish, and butter "Just
makes" many desserts. Buttered
beans, buttered fresh peas, buttered
cabbage, buttered beets, buttered car
rots these and other vegetables that
are all good In themselves are far
more attractive to most persons when
served with melted butter.
Long heating destroys the butter
flavor and to cook vegetables wltA
butter Is wasteful; therefore the bu
reau advises adding the butter seas
oning at the last minute before serv
ing. Browned butter the browning
must be done carefully, however, lest
the butter burn gives a delicious
flavor to cream sauce. Parsley but
ter which Is melted butter with
chopped parsley In It Is a favorite
dressing for boiled potatoes, and lem
on butter, or melted butter with
lemon Juice, goes well with broiled
fish. Young onions, boiled and serv
ed on toast with melter butter, make
an enjoyable supper dish. Holland
alse sauce, when both eggs and butter
are cheap, Is a special delicacy with
fish, with greens, and particularly
with the stalked or head vegetables
like col lards, cabbage, cauliflower,
bruasels sprouts or broccoli.
The pies "that mother used to
make" undoubtedly .had butter in the
filling all fruit pies and apple pies,
especially. Baked apple and brown
betty, too, need the butter flavor to
make them more inviting.
The use of so much butter may
seem extravagant. However, two level
tablespoons, or about one ounce, will
seaspn five or six liberal servings of
cabbage, carrots, snap beans, beets or

SHORT CAKES
Shortcake usually means "straw
berry shortcake" to most of us. And,
truly. It Is delicious and unsurpassed.
However, when strawberries are gone,
or when we wish a variety of fruit
there are various combinations which
are delightful. The favorite Is the
old-fashioned "biscuit" ahortcake.
Then, there are some who like sponge
cake for the foundation and I know
of a simple graham cracker cake
which Is especially fine with crushed
blackberries. So, today we shall have
"some of each."
Biscuit Shortcake
3 cupa flour.
4 teaspoons baking powder.
teaspoon salt.
1 tablespoon sugar.
1-3 cup butter.

Sift dry Ingredients together. Work
In butter with blender and add milk
gradually. Knead Just a little bit on
board, divide In two parts and roll
out to fit layer cake pans. Bake for
15 minutes at 430 degrees.
Crush and sweeten berries to taste
and let stand several minutes before
serving. Serve plain or with cream.
Fillings
Besides strawberries, ffeah peaches,
sUced oranges, sliced bananas, rasp
berries, blackberries, cooked rhubarb
and various combinations of fruits
are all delicious served with short
cake. Hot Water Sponge Cake

beater. Fold In sifted Ingredients.
Add bot water gradually, then flavor
ing. Bake In loaf pan at 390 degrees
for one-half hour.
Crushed fruit served over angel
cake is another flavorful type of
"shortcake."
Graham Cracker Cake for

3 teaspoons baking powder.
1 cup graham crackers (crushed).

peas, and will make parsley butter

Salad oils are another means of
adding energy value and staying
quality as well as attractiveness to
a meal. Under different trade names,
cottonseed and corn oils are the most
common substitutes for olive oil In
salad dressings and are relatively
cheap.
