If you're called away from the cooker - by the phone, say, or by someone at the door - take pans off the heat. It's the easiest thing in the world to forget about them.
Turn saucepan handles so they don't stick out (and aren't over another ring).
Blend shortening and sugar. Add sour milk. Stir in dry ingredients, add raisins and nuts. Pour into greased cup cake tins and bake in moderate oven 350 F. from 15 to 20 minutes or until done. You can use any kind of icing. Source: Mrs. Leda Towner, Kent Grange, Portage County, OH -----
