 Whenever your mother and grandmother were cooking, chances are that Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book was the cookbook on the counter.
Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book showed them the easy way to make eye-opening muffins, rolls, and doughnuts for quick morning wake-ups ... biscuits, nut loaves, and coffee cakes for charming lunches ... and special treats like Butterscotch Rolls and Pimento Cheese Biscuits for late afternoon or evening snacks.
Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book showed them how to make a cake the very old-fashioned way — using the "creaming" method, which was the way cakes were made for hundreds of years! And then on the next page, Betty Crocker showed them the "modern way" from scratch!
This very book showed them how to keep biscuits from overbrowning (page 66), how to make unforgettable rolled cookies (page 194), how to make a molded salad (page 348), and so much more!

| One of the reasons why Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book is still a must-have cookbook after more than 50 years is that people are always saying about this cookbook: "It has the best recipes that I've ever found!"
