Its people are too cunning And too sweet for any use; There’s spry Pop Over, Johnny Cake And dainty Charlotte Russe. The moon’s a muffin, and the sun A hot cake warm and mellow. Its gentle rays make Bunbury folk A tempting brownish yellow! And when it snows, marshmallow Covers everything with icing— The houses, and the people, too, Look even more enticing. Bunbury’s folk oft gather round Ye Coffee Ring, and tell The news about young Johnny Cake— Who’s courting Patty Shell! Bunbury’s vaults are filled with gems For Hun Bun, the bun boy king. He has gems to burn (but doesn’t) Burnt gems are not the thing. The reason why this little town So gay and sweet and nice is Because each cake and cooky there Was raised on Dr. Price’s! Now one day as the cooky clock In taffy tower tolled, Flap Jack, the King’s own messenger Into the castle rolled. “Your Bunship!” puffed the little Jack, “I bring surprising news! There is a little lad near here Too skinny for his shoes. “He will not eat his breakfast And he will not eat his lunch. He’s lost his taste for baseball And completely lost his punch!” FLAP JACKS(see illustration below)

Serve immediately on hot plate with plenty of butter and syrup or butter and cinnamon mixed with sugar. Makes 24 flap jacks. FLAP JACKS WITH RICE

All measurements are level “What?” spluttered Hun Bun, pushing back His sparkling candy crown; “Ho! fetch my dog! Ho! fetch my cane! I’ll catch a train to town!” And when his cane and dog were fetched He hopped aboard the train, And in a way I scarce can guess And even less explain Arrived at little Billy’s house. He found the boy at tea. “Hello!” cried Hun Bun, “Howdy-do!” And likewise, “Howdy-de!” Then Hun Bun’s dog began to bark, You’ve heard of him, perhaps? He’s full of ginger and of spice His name is Ginger Snaps. “Why, who are you?” gasped Billy Nearly falling in his plate. “I’m Hun Bun!” smiled the little chap, “The Cooky Potentate.” “Go on and eat your supper, boy, ’Twill make you strong and fat, And fit to hit a punching bag Or swing a baseball bat!” “Not hungry” sighed the little lad And scowled upon his meat, And frowned into his glass of milk, “There’s nothing fit to eat.” DOUGHNUTSThese doughnuts are very wholesome and excellent for children. They do not contain any shortening and should be fried very carefully in fat at just the right temperature so that no grease will be absorbed. They can be served plain or sprinkled with powdered sugar after they have thoroughly drained and cooled.
Save ? cup of measured flour for board. Beat eggs until light; add milk, then add this liquid to the dry ingredients which have been sifted well together. Roll out ¼ inch thick on slightly floured board and fry in deep fat (365°-375°). Drain well on unglazed paper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 30 doughnuts. All measurements are level “Dear me” mused Hun Bun, while the pup Licked Billy on the ear, “A boy as thin as you could not Be President I fear.” And hopping on the table He began to walk around, He peered into each plate and dish, Then even Hun Bun frowned. And leaning on his pep’mint cane And looking really hurt, The bun boy King called dolefully, “Why, where is the dessert?” In rage he shook his candy cane, As will such angry kings; And roared, “It’s plain to see your fare Lacks most essential things. “No cakes, no cookies and no buns, No biscuits—not a tart! None of the things real fellows like, Why Bill, it breaks my heart! “It seems your mother does not know What youngsters like to eat, It surely is high time, I think, That she and I should meet!” SUGAR COOKIES
Cream shortening and sugar together; add milk to beaten eggs and beat again; add slowly to creamed shortening and sugar; add flavoring; add 2 cups of measured flour sifted with salt, baking powder and nutmeg; add enough more flour to roll easily. Roll out thin on floured board; cut with any fancy-shaped cooky cutter; sprinkle with granulated sugar or put a raisin or nut in the center of each. Bake about 10 minutes in moderate oven (380°). For Chocolate Cookies put aside portion of the dough before adding all the flour and add 2 tablespoons cocoa to each cup of cooky dough. Makes 4 dozen cookies. All measurements are level Soon, hearing all the rumpus Billy’s mother came to see To whom her son was talking And what all the noise could be. When Hun Bun spied her, he remarked In accents sharp and biting, “No wonder that your boy won’t eat, His food’s so uninviting. “Your son wants cookies, buns and cake, And other things that mothers make.” Bill’s mother, looking apprehensive, Remarked, “But cakes are so expensive.” “Not so!” quoth Hun Bun drawing forth A brightly colored book, “Use Dr. Price’s Baking Powder, Hereafter when you cook!” Then Hun Bun gaily doffed his crown And with a bow quite comical, He told her, “You will find it good And very economical. “But now we must depart and so We’ll bid you a good-night, For Bill and I are going to try To find his appetite.” BUTTERSCOTCH CURLS(see illustration below)
Sift dry ingredients; add shortening, mixing it in with a fork (if liquid shortening is used, add with milk). Add milk to make a fairly soft dough. Knead slightly and roll out ¼ inch thick.

Stand these on end in well-buttered gem pans or in small greased muffin rings and bake in a hot oven (425°) about 15 minutes. Makes 12 rolls or 22 if baked in small rings. PEANUT COOKIES
Sift dry ingredients together. Add melted shortening to beaten egg. Add milk and lemon juice, and mix well with the dry ingredients to make soft dough. Add peanuts; mix well and drop with teaspoon on greased pan. Bake in moderate oven (400°) about 20 minutes. This recipe makes about four dozen small cookies and requires 1 quart of peanuts. All measurements are level And while the puzzled lady Grasped the cook book in surprise, The Pup and Bill and Hun Bun Disappeared before her eyes. Next instant they were on a train And hieing in a hurry Across a golden cornbread plain To little Hun’s Bunbury. The engine on its lic’rice rails Cream puffed along so fast The pep’mint poles and chocolate cows Went simply whizzing past! And when they reached the station All the tasty cakes and tarts Were out to welcome Billy, Bless their little sugar hearts. The Royal Bun Band headed By a pound cake drummer man, Came tooting down the central street And after it there ran A flock of Scotch and Dutch cakes, Twenty cookies and a roll, While all the orange icing bells Began to peal and toll. Soon our Billy was no bigger Than a Cooky Man himself; For Hun’s magician, Devils Food, Had changed him to an elf. “We’re going to the circus first,” Said Hun Bun in his ear, “Where you can see the animals And all the freaks, so queer.” The little cracker animals Cavorted ’round the tent, Till the air was full of cracker dust And cheers and merriment. How Billy laughed, while Ginger barked And Hun Bun clapped with glee; “Come on now,” cried the mighty king “There’s other folk to see. “Here’s Captain Jelly Roll who drills Our biscuit P’licemen brave, But we don’t really need them For good cakes like us behave.” The more of Bunbury’s sights he saw, The hungrier he grew, And yet, to eat up Hun Bun’s friends Would never, never do. BISCUIT TARTS
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; add well-beaten egg and melted shortening to milk and add to dry ingredients to make soft dough. Roll out on floured board, ? inch thick. Cut out with medium-size biscuit cutter which has been dipped in flour. Then taking a smaller cutter, cut ½ of these rounds again. Brush the large rounds lightly with melted butter. Then take the outer rings and lay on top of the large buttered rounds. Put on greased baking tin. Put a teaspoon of jam in each tart and bake in hot oven (475°) for about 10 minutes. The small centers can be brushed with butter and baked in the same manner and served as little tea biscuits. Makes 10 tarts with 10 tiny biscuits. All measurements are level While no one looked he slyly took A piece of pie crust fence, And next he ate a pretzel gate— It tasted just immense! They stopped to watch a cake walk In the little frosted square Where all the best and richest cakes Were stepping it for fair. The Scotch scones danced the Highland fling, The Dutch cakes danced the clog, And Hun Bun led the bun ballet Assisted by his dog. Young Billy felt so gay himself He danced with Sally Lunn, He never knew a cake walk Was such a lot of fun. But with every passing minute Bill grew hungrier until Bunbury’s king was worried! “I’m afraid that little Bill Will bring this cake walk to an end And start a canni-ball, He’ll eat my favorite subjects up Which wouldn’t do at all.” PARTY CAKES
Cream butter, add sugar slowly; add beaten eggs. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together; add a little at a time alternately with the milk to the first mixture; beat thoroughly; add flavoring and bake in greased small gem pans in a hot oven (425°) about 20 minutes.

All measurements are level He murmured to a tea bun, “Though I certainly rejoice To see he’s found his appetite, Just order my Rolls Royce.” Soon up it rolled, a chocolate drop Was at the cooky wheel. “Jump in,” cried Hun Bun, “It is time For us to leave, I feel. “Now you may eat the extra tire,” (It was a doughnut brown) “Oh, thank you, Hun,” cried Billy, As they sped from Bunbury town. They reached home very quickly By the magic route they took, And there they found Bill’s mother Absorbed in Hun Bun’s book. “Here’s Billy,” shouted Hun Bun, “With an appetite so hearty He gobbled up a fence and gate And nearly ate the party!” “The things I saw all looked so good I longed to eat my fill, Oh, mother, how I wish that you Could make me some,” cried Bill. “I never could,” she started, But this speech was not allowed her, For Hun Bun cried, “You can if you Use Price’s Baking Powder!” BIRTHDAY CAKE
Cream butter thoroughly; beat in sugar, a little at a time. Add flavoring and yolks of eggs beaten until pale yellow. Add milk, beating in a little at a time. Beat egg whites until light.

Put over boiling water, stirring continually until icing grates slightly on bowl. Spread on top and sides of cake. All measurements are level So saying, Hun gave her a can Of bright and sunny yellow. “With this you easily can make Good things for this young fellow. “And Madam, ’stead of coaxing Boys and girls to eat, ’tis wiser To add a cake or cooky As a little appetizer!” From the day that he met Hun Bun Little Bill began to gain. His appetite’s tremendous And the reason’s very plain. His mother makes him good things Of which he eats his fill, For everything she puts in them Is good for little Bill. Dr. Price’s Baking Powder And King Hun Bun’s wondrous book Have made of Billy’s mother An exceedingly good cook. He eats his lunch and breakfast Each meal he finds a treat. The other fellows watch their step When Bill comes down the street. Cakes like he met in Bunbury His mother makes him now And if YOU want some too, this book Will tell YOUR MOTHER how! |
