Quote: “Keep this little booklet of ‘kitchen-tested’ reicpes near the Red Bnad flour sack or canister in your kitchen. You’ll want to use it again and again.”
That’s what’s to like, and what not to like. Every recipe in this book features white flour made from wheat. Some would work with corn meal, rice flour, or other gluten-free flour, but they wouldn’t be the same. This is a cookbook for the gluten-tolerant.
If you are gluten-tolerant, here’s a nice short simple collection of basic recipes for biscuits, breads, cookies, cakes, waffles, pancakes, pies, and fruit desserts. I don’t remember ever seeing Red Band flour in a store; the recipes would work with other white wheat flours, plain or self-rising. All are easy to make, good choices for kids’ first baking projects.
(Music link? I still think of this as a Thanksgiving song, but many people keep singing/playing it through the winter holidays...anyway, it does specifically mention baking! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl5r76hVYF0 )
