1 This is a recipe taken from a Magic Baking Powder promotional booklet aimed at the Canadian market. Though there is no date on it, the cars in the graphics are pre 1950, I think perhaps the 1920s or 30s. This was one of 2 "Six Prize Winning Recipes: Each recipe on this page won a first prize of 3 Cream butter with 1/3 cup sugar. Beat egg whites stiffly and add 1/2 cup sugar. Put aside.
