QUESTION Can someone give me a moist white or yellow
cake that I can double for a large sheet cake? Please help.
Nancy Koons, Lebanon
QUESTION This does not have anything to do with cooking,
but would anyone have a pattern to crochet slippers other than
with a granny square? Everyone says it can be done, but no one
knows how. Can anyone help me?
ANSWERS Mrs. Harold Diller who earlier sent in a recipe
for Dessert Whipped Topping that was published here, has now
sent us corrections for her recipe. If you saved this recipe, you
may want to dig it out and correct your copy. The correct recipe
should read:
DESSERT WHIPPED TOPPING
1/4 c. boiling water
1/21. cream tartar
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg white
11. vanilla
Mix and beat till stiff.
QUESTIONS Two recipes that we received in response to
requests now have been requested by a great many people.
Unfortunately we just forwarded the recipes to the cook who
requested them. Now we need them again! Would the cooks
who supplied us with “Baked Donuts" and “Condensed Milk"
please mail them to us again so we can offer them to our
readers?
QUESTION Does anyone have a recipe for pearl tapioca
pudding and a recipe for fortune cookies? Would appreciate the
help.
QUESTION Every week, someone tries to stump us with
the impossible question, but we always try to help. Last week it
was a request for Daisy's Cure for Arthritis and this week it is a
poem published sometime between 1361 and 1964. Our reader
wants to know if anyone has a copy of it so we could run it again.
Well, folks, it may be over 20 years old now, but can anyone
help?
