A NOTE TO THE MODERN READER
_A Little Book for a Little Cook_ was originally published by
Pillsbury in 1905. This new reproduction has all of the recipes
from the original softcover edition, but is being reissued with
the modern reader in mind. The collector will note some small
departures from the original book, but the little cook will no
doubt find what is here to be fun to cook, delicious, and warmly
nostalgic.
For best results, we recommend the following recipe changes
when preparing these old-fashioned recipes. When using
Pillsbury BEST® Flour, there is no need to sift the flour.
Just lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cup and
level it off. When combining the flour with other dry
ingredients, stir the ingredients together with a fork.
Bread: Soak 1 (.6 oz.) cake compressed yeast or 1 pkg.
active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 2 tablespoons
lukewarm (105-110°F.) water for 2 minutes. Knead dough 5 to
10 minutes. Let dough rise in warm place until it is _almost
double in size_. Grease, bottom only, 8×4 or 9×5-inch loaf
pan. Bake at 375°F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until light
golden brown.
Biscuits: Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 425°F.
for 9 to 11 minutes.
Ginger Bread: Bake in a greased 13x9-inch pan at 350°F. for
23 to 27 minutes.
Sponge Cake: Bake in a greased and floured 9-inch square or
11×7-inch pan at 350°F. for 24 to 29 minutes.
Muffins: Bake in a greased 12-cup muffin pan at 400°F. for
12 to 16 minutes.
Creamed Potatoes: If a double boiler is unavailable, cook in
a heavy saucepan over medium heat until mixture thickens,
about 5 minutes.
Fudge: Cook in a small heavy saucepan; pour mixture into a
buttered 9x5 or 8x4-inch pan.
Chocolate Cake: Bake in a greased and floured 8-inch square
pan at 350°F. for 23 to 27 minutes or until toothpick
inserted in center comes out clean.
Johnny Cake: Bake in a greased 8-inch square pan at 400°F.
for 15 to 20 minutes.

LITTLE TALKS WITH LITTLE COOKS
The table around which the household gathers three times a day
furnishes the chief opportunity for showing the results of good
training, whether received in school or home. We show our
unselfishness in preferring one another, anticipating one
another's wants.
On the table is shown the result of the unselfish thought and
care of the chief home-maker. The labor connected with the
preparation of the meal is either a burden or a pleasure as one's
previous training has made possible.
We get the best training for active life, in other than household
work, early in life, at school and home. Why not learn to be good
home-makers while still young?
We like to do what we do well. If we learn early, we learn easily
and well--the work is a pleasure and success is assured.
Beginners should master the little recipes included in this book.
They require only a small amount of material, but enough for
success.
[Illustration]
This is the tale that was told to me
By a loaf of home-made bread, you see,
As it sat one night on the pantry shelf--
A loaf on each side of it--just like itself,
While grouped around stood the pies and cakes,
The good old kind like mother makes,
And one and all then and there confessed
That they owed their existence to Pillsbury's Best.
[Illustration]
I seem to trace through the distant haze
My byegone life in the good old days;
I see in my vision a field of wheat--
I knew I was there that the world might eat--
I drank of the showers and the morning dew;
In the noonday sun I throve and grew--
Grew on the verge of a sunny crest,
Just as fast as I could for Pillsbury's Best.
[Illustration]
And when I had grown both tall and strong
The reapers came--a merry throng--
And through the fields they wend their way,
Just to and fro through the livelong day.
Perhaps they were rude--for they cut me dead--
But what if they did?--I kept my head
And turned on my back and laughed in glee
At the thought of the good, good flour I'd be.
[Illustration]
I know I was good, yet the day came at last
When they said I'd be better if soundly thrashed.
Please pardon me here--I can't dwell on this much,
The subject is painful--my feelings are such.
Oh my! but the straw, it flew high in the air
And the chaff chaffed unceasing, but I didn't care,
My laughter rang forth with increased vim and zest,
My chastisement I knew--just meant Pillsbury's Best.
[Illustration]
And then came the time when I journeyed away
To the mills where the "Roller Mills" roll all day,
And all of them smiled with a happy grin
And welcomed us poor little wheatlets in;
Oh! the grind of life--I was grasped and seized,
I really can't say I was very much pleased;
But to say the least, I was much impressed,
And when I got through I was Pillsbury's Best.
[Illustration: The mills where the roller mills roll all day.]
[Illustration]
And now in the latest fashions gay
In the big round world I have my say,
For in this most becoming sack,
Please note the hang--both front and back,
I journey far from the land of my birth
To feed the hungry hordes of Earth;
For those who know ne'er fail to say
That Pillsbury's flour o'er the world holds sway.
[Illustration]
To the kitchen I go--to the bakers who bake
The bread and the cookies, the pies and the cake;
It was there that I met the package of yeast
Who raised the dough for the coming feast,
And that's why I sit and talk to-night,
For to-morrow I know I'll be out of sight;
So I'll toast myself ere this tale I close,
To Pillsbury's Best, the flour one knows.
[Illustration:
_This is the tale of the loaf on the shelf.
As told to me by the loaf itself._

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
https://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
