1922 Royal Baking Powder Recipe Book

Royal baking Powder bookI picked up this 1922 Royal Baking Powder Cookbook at an antique store. It has some of my favorite qualities, old, worn, and it was cheap. I think I paid $2.00 for it. It came in a plastic sleeve so that it wouldn't get torn up with the rest of the cookbooks.

It's not very thick, it's a booklet. So, I thought I would just take pictures of the pages and put them here on one page.

When I read the book there were several recipes that stood out to me, such as the Spanish Cake, the Eggless, Milkless, Butterless Cake, and the Honey Drop Cake.

You can browse the pages, and see if there is any recipe that interests you. Pretty cool little book.

Griddle Cakes and Waffles

"Griddle cakes, as made today with Royal Baking Powder have become most popular. Properly made they are delicious, healthful, appetizing and nutritious."

"The batter must be thin. The cakes should be small and not too thick - about one eighth inch when baked. An iron frying pan may be used instead of griddle. In any case grease only enough to keep the cakes from sticking. Turn only once."

Fritters

"Fritters are served for luncheon, dinner, or supper, as an entre, a vegetable or a sweet, according to the ingredients used. The foundation batter is much the same for all fritters, and with some additions, the first recipe given can be used for many varieties. By the use of Royal Baking Powder, a fine fritter batter may be stirred up in a few minutes."

"Fritters should be fried in deep fat, hot enough to brown a piece of bread in 60 seconds."

Cakes

"In no department of cookery is Royal Baking Powder of more use and importance than in making fine cake."

"Where fewer eggs are used, increase the amount of Royal Baking Powder about one teaspoon for each egg omitted. If an unsalted shortening is used take slightly less and add a small quantity of salt. Sift flour before measuring."

Fruit Shortcakes

"Although strawberries are generally used, other fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, loganberries, bananas, peaches and oranges, and even stewed or canned fruit, can be substituted and make delicious short cakes."

Doughnuts

"These old-fashioned "fried cakes," as sometimes called, need the addition of Royal Baking Powder to make them light, tender and digestible. The fat should be in a deep kettle, and hot enough to brown a piece of bread in 60 seconds or the doughnuts will absorb grease."

Pastry and Pies

"A pinch of salt and a little Royal Baking Powder make pastry light, flaky and more digestible. Pastry should rise in baking to double it's thickness, and be in light, flaky layers. The novice must learn to handle it lightly and as little as possible in rolling and turning. It is important to have all materials and utensils cold. Pastry is better if allowed to stand in icebox several hours before using."
