recipe for those 'skyrocket rolls' that you had at your party the other day. I just thought I'd have to remind her, for the sake of my future." "What under the shining sun! Oh, pinwheel biscuits!" "Yes—that's it!" "Why—all right. I have it filed away in my card-index. Here—with a picture of them pasted on the card. I cut it out of the magazine that gave the recipe. They are delicious." BETTINA'S RECIPES
[45]
(All measurements are level) Pinwheel Biscuits (Fifteen biscuits) 2 C-flour 4 t-baking powder 3 T-lard ½ t-salt ¾ C-milk 1/ C-stoned raisins 3 2 T-sugar 2 T-melted butter ½ t-cinnamon Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, work in the lard with a knife, add gradually the milk, mixing with the knife to a soft dough. Toss on a floured board, roll one inch thick, spread with butter, and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon, which have been well mixed. Press in the raisins. Roll up the mixture evenly as you would a jelly roll. Cut off slices, an inch thick—flatten a little and place in a tin pan. Bake in a hot oven for fifteen minutes. (These are similar to the cinnamon rolls made from yeast sponge.)
CHAPTER XI BETTINA'S BIRTHDAY GIFT
"Y
OUR set, Bob," said Bettina, as she gathered up the tennis balls. "But please say you think I'm improving! Oh, there'll come a time when I'll make you a stiff opponent, but I'll have to work up my service first! It's time to go home to breakfast now, but hasn't it been fun?" "Fine, Betty! We'll do it again! I don't object at all to getting up early when I'm once up! And we ought to get out and play tennis before breakfast every day."
