Vintage Recipe Thursday: "Hurry Up Hot Breads"

I was ridiculously excited about finding this old Crisco ad from 1928. I have mixed feelings about vegetable shortening--yes, it makes baking easier (if not quite as buttery) but it's an hydrogenated industrial fat, i.e. not a "real" food, so I try not to use it very often.  However, this is a really cute ad (click to enlarge).  I wanted to scan it, but our scanner wasn't big enough for an 11 x 17 page!

I baked both the Golden Muffins and the French Coffee Cake.  Both were really easy and came out well.  To reheat, you can wrap in foil and bake 20 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.  I definitely recommend butter and marmalade (I'm loving Mackays The Dundee Orange Marmalade that I get at World Market) on warm Golden Muffins.  You'll notice that the coffee cake isn't as sweet as you would expect, but it makes a nice change.

I bought my Crisco ad from Public Market Antiques at the Oklahoma City Farmers Public Market.  I also found this card of bobby pins from the (I presume) 1940s:
