=Every recipe has been tested many times and all have been found excellent.=
Royal Baking Powder is used in all recipes in which a leavening agent is required, and the biscuits, muffins, griddle cakes, doughnuts, cakes and pastry prepared by its use are unequalled in texture and healthfulness.
"Royal" imparts a fine appearance, and a particularly good flavor to the food.
Housekeepers are urged to avoid substitutes for Royal Baking Powder.
Failures in baking often result from the use of sour milk and soda, or even home made mixtures of cream of tartar and soda, because of inability to determine the uncertain strength of such materials and hence the proper proportions to use.
=Avoid all guess work by using "Royal." It is always the same, always dependable.=

MEASUREMENTS
All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this book are level.
The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into fourths and thirds.
To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess with back of knife.
One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.
Sift flour before measuring.
BAKING
Regulate the oven carefully before mixing the ingredients. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough.
Biscuits and pastry require a hot oven; cakes, a moderate oven.
