In my pantry and freezer I have all-purpose flour, bread flour, cake flour, pastry flour, self-rising flour, almond flour, whole wheat flour, and semolina flour. I am prepared for any flour emergency.
Think about pasta: take some flour and mix with eggs. What could be simpler?
Or bread: just flour, salt, water and yeast. There are even recipes that require no kneading.
And it all tastes so good.
The other day I posted a picture of buttermilk pancakes. After yoga class, I decided to come home and make them myself. I keep pancake mix in the house, but I have never found one I really liked. So, I decided to make the recipe I posted from Cook's Illustrated. They were so good, I made another batch this morning. I figure I will need the energy when I finally go out to clean the driveway.
Tomorrow is Pizza Pie Day. I was thinking of ordering one, but then decided I could just make my own. The dough is easy enough, I have plenty of cheese, and I can make a garlic white sauce. With some fresh spinach, it should satisfy my craving.
