HERE’S A HINT
If you have made breakfast porridge too thin and there is not time to add more meal and have it cooked, mix in a dessertspoon of cornflour with a little cold water and thicken with that. It will not be detected; it improves the flavour. If substituting cocoa for chocolate in a cake recipe, remember that three tablespoons of cocoa end half a tablespoon of butter equal one ounce of chocolate. The butter takes the place of the fat in the chocolate, thus preventing your cake from being too dry. Before marking linen with ink, dip the part which is to be marked into a little cold starch and press with a warm iron. This will prevent the ink from running and help to give a neat result.
