cup of milk for 5 minutes. Take off heat and stir until it thickens, then pour 
over cake.

When removing cakes or sponges from the oven when baked, always leave in
the tin about 5 minutes to cool. The cake or sponge will then come away quite 
clean, with edges intact.

Patty Paper hints: When baking small cakes in paper patties, place them on 
oven slides so that they do not touch. They will then rise to a point and not run 
over the edges.

When using margarine for shortening in a recipe, add 1 tspn glycerine to each 
quarter pound margarine used. The cake will be much more moist.

Mock Maple Syrup to serve with pancakes: Equal quantities of golden syrup, 
honey and water. Boil to dissolve and add little vanilla and cinnamon.

parsley is added to the cooking water.
