Martha White flour is a soft southern flour I think, like that other one, Lily something.I think maybe we Yankees might try using cake flour.

Oops! elainesl, it is in fact White Lily, not Martha White that I used & prefer. Can you tell how long it's been now???

happy to jog your memory; is it still self-rising flour?

Oh dear. I don't do well without a recipe. I'll have to experiment a few times and see what happens.Was that 2 lbs plus about 3 cups of flour?And what's a "hand blender?"
View ArticleRe: Recipes From The Tucson GTG
I believe that is AKA, stick blender.An electric thingy, a stick with inset blades on the end.The kind you learn you don't remove from the batter bowl while it's still running.

If it's what I think it is, it's a tool that looks like the letter DHandle with thick wires going from one end to another.
View ArticleRe: Recipes From The Tucson GTG
I think its what ncgrrl said. Not an electric appliance at all.We used to call that d-shaped wire thing a pastry whisk, and use it for cutting shortening into flour for pie crust or biscuits.

oh, I never would have thought of that as a "hand blender" though I can see that is pretty descriptive. I've always called it a pastry blender, come to think of it. I got rid of mine, because when I'm...

I felt like an idiot for asking, but I'm glad I did. Proves there's no such thing as a stupid question.

It is, in fact, a pastry blender:tinyurl.com/2brngqelainesl, that is how my Gma used to do it (hand mixed method). She also actually had a flour drawer in her kitchen cabinets (loose flour in it).She...

Thanks, OSB. I don't know if we have a pastry blender around, but at least now I know what it is!

One of the (many) memorable / priceless moments from the GTG...................During one of the times there were about 5 cooks in the kitchen, OSB asked Mrs. P if we had a hand blender. Mrs. P. went...

Geez, I was hoping this was going to slide by. Not one of my most memorable recipes but, hey, I contributed to the madness by adding one more dish of carbohydrates. I mean, there was meat, and meat...

It IS a marvelous kitchen, which I enjoyed during my stay with Mr & Mrs Mikey. It's interesting though, that certain things tend to be in similar places in most kitchens, so it didn't take me too...

Well, it can't be said enough... Irma and Mike have a fabulous kitchen; stocked with every kind of pan and utensil.There was a lot of fun and congeniality in that kitchen on the Saturday of the GTG.

Is there any acceptable substitute for Everclear in the Limoncello recipe?I've never seen it here in Hawaii and Wikipedia indicates that it's not legal here, which I guess is why I've never seen...
