Re: [BKARTS] repairing torn pages
Okay, I found a ton of self-stirring coffee and tea mugs, but not one
self-stirring double boiler. Now, I know there's one company out that MUST
make them, but who are they?
Frustrated at the rule in every paste and gravy recipe: STIR CONSTANTLY.
But why do we stir constantly? To allow the gluten in the paste or the
gravy to thicken and congeal, right Peter?
And don't forget: Goya makes a fine Rice flour and is available practically
everywhere.
Peace,
John

Although not specifically a cake flour, White Lily Flour is also a
"soft" flour very popular in the south,
