High Altitude Adjustments
You may have to make adjustments in the scratch cake recipes if you
live above 3,000 feet. Try smaller amounts first, then make any neces-
sary adjustment the next time you bake. Use these guidelines only if
these ingredients are in the recipe. Cheesecakes, fillings, puddings and
candy need no adjustments at any altitude unless indicated below each
recipe.
