Helps to Lighten Work.

The well beaten yolk of an egg lightly brushed over the top of a pie will make the crust brown and shiny. Neyer use the fingers in pinching the edges of pies, as the heat from the hands will keep the crust from rising. A crisp crust on a cake may be. made by adding a spoonful of ice water to the batter or dusting with sugar just before putting it into the oven. Rubbing the surface of the loaves with melted butter or lard, salted, will produce a soft, brown, tender crust on bread.
