Makes Pastries Taste Better!

7-UP CAKE
Make a cake with contents of package mix using 7-Up instead of the liquid in the recipe! White, yellow, spice, chocolate-malt ... all flavors. You’ll be amazed at how light and airy your cake is.
7-UP ICING
2 egg whites 1 cup granulated sugar 3 tbsp. (1¼ oz.) 7-Up ¼ tbsp. cream of tartar
Put all ingredients in the top of a double boiler over boiling water. Upper pan should not touch surface of water. Beat with rotary beater (hand or electric) until stiff enough to stand in peaks (about 5 minutes).
7-UP PIE CRUST
1 cup sifted flour ½ tsp. salt ¼—⅓ cup shortening 3 tbsp. chilled 7-Up (about)
Measure flour and salt into bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until particles are size of small peas. Add 7-Up gradually, a few drops at a time, tossing with a fork to distribute evenly. Press into ball; allow to rest 15 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a circle ⅛″ thick. Fit into a 9″ pie plate. Trim ½″ from edge of pie plate. Fold this under and flute.
Prick pastry with a fork. Bake in a hot oven (425°) about 15 minutes. Cool and fill.

Special Hint ... If you prefer to use a prepared pie crust mix, add chilled 7-Up instead of water. The crust will be light and deliciously flaky.
