Spry Vegetable Shortening Recipes

 

 

 

 

 

Next up is this section of a folded booklet. The pages are attached but I had to scan them separately, so pages one and two back each other and are connected to backing pages 47 and 48. All the rest of the booklet is missing. It was obviously a promotion for Spry Vegetable Shortening, picturing the SPRY KITCHEN packed with trained Home Economists practicing scientific cookery procedures. Since none of the recipes are circled or marked we can’t know for sure which ones prompted the owner to keep just these pages, but considering how many desserts have been found in the old recipe box my best guess would be the coffeecake recipe was picked to join the others.

Muffins

 

Once again, I needed help deciphering a recipe card. I could not figure out what the B.P. stood for in this one. As usual, when I asked my wife she knew the answer immediately. It’s baking powder. The recipe is pretty straight forward, but the muffins would be anything but plain if your grandma made them for you. She would also know how hot a “hot oven” should be.
