This helpful tip was printed in St Andrew’s Modern Recipe Book , published around 1930 by the women’s guild of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Launceston , Tasmania Australia .
‘If the thermostat in your oven stops working , use a sheet of writing paper.
If the sheet of writing paper burns when put in the oven it is too hot .
If the paper turns dark brown , it is suitable for pastry, scones , muffins and little dinner loaves .
If the paper turns light brown it does for small cakes ,buns , pies and tarts .
If light yellow, for biscuits and puddings ‘
How times have changed !!
