You're ready to no matter what to do, they're going
to talk about that's Loretta Lynn. I don't suppose there's
any mistake in that voice. If if we didn't even
tell who it was, everybody would know that's Loretta with
rated X. We all know the recipe is inside gold
metal flower sacks are tested over and over, but I'll
bet you didn't know that the flower in those sacks
(11:45):
is tested too. The testing starts right from the beginning
as the flower is milled. Samples are carefully examined in
our quality control laboratories because quality is so important even
in everyday baking. A second set of samples undergoes a
careful test for uniformity. They bake with it to test
it for performance. All these tests ensure that Gold Medal
(12:08):
flower gives superior baking results. Light tender cakes and soft texture,
high volume breads are what you expect from gold Medal.
Gold Medal is tested because they want you to know
when you grab a sack of Gold Medal flour, you've
gotten hold of the best sack of flower your money
can buy.
Speaker 3 (12:28):

Williams Junior show, and he does a great job of

from mudpies to bacon her first real pie. It was summertime,
and I stood outside the open kitchen window where I
could watch mother show how I teased Jenny when she
spilled the flour and didn't measure the shortening just right.

Mm.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
But when she took that tie out of the oven,
it smells so good. I just had to have a piece.

Mother said Jenny was going to be.
Speaker 14 (19:30):
A wonderful cook, and that it helped to have gold
metal flour and a Betty Crocker recipe that can give
any cook a marching for error. What I remember most
is Jenny watching me. Yes, I gobbled up her apple pie.

anymore about her bacon bake. Someone a gold metal memory today.
