Much to my surprise, not one, but two copies arrived in the mail. (I guess they knew I would share it again!) My lesson was, never hesitate to contact the manufacturer. They really appreciate us and will try to help, even when they aren't receiving any immediate income.

Although I've had a couple of good experiences, I believe that overall, the Betty Crocker is the exception rather than the rule. No wonder they've been in business over 100 years!

Hi Tahlula, You are so right! What was I thinking!
1/2 cup warm water
2 pkg active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup soft shortening
7 to 7 1/2 cups Gold Medal flour
In bowl, dissolve yeast in water, measure flour by dip-level-pour method add milk, sugar, salt, egg, shortening and half of flour to yeast. Turn onto lightly floured board, knead until smooth, round up in greased bowl, cover with cloth. Rise until double in size. Punch down and let rise until double again shape and bake as in specific recipes.
This is the basis for the most delicious coffee cakes.
Enjoy!

I love that Betty Crocker cookbook. My Mom let me loose in the kitchen with that book during the 50's.

It would be great if you would post the recipe in the recipe site. If it's worth tracking down, it's probably worth sharing!

(Archived Aug 03, 2010)When Something Breaks, Contact the Manufacturer
The spigot recently broke off our Brita water filter and I e-mailed the company to ask about how to get a new spigot - I was willing to pay for a new one. The company sent me a new part absolutely FREE! (And our filter system was way out of guarantee.)
Also - my Fiskars craft punch was giving me fits recently so I e-mailed the company to inquire about the way to sharpen them. Fiskars sent me a brand spanking new one for FREE and I had that punch for years. I was told it didn't matter - they were still replacing it for free!
Many companies will send out replacements for free! And what's the harm in asking. It can sure a whole lot of hard earned cash to just take a moment and send an e-mail!
