Carol's in the kitchen, cooking up recipes for www.GfreeCuisine.com and www.CarolFenster.com

What is Carol Reading?
I love culinary mysteries: Eggsecutive Orders: a White House Chef mystery by Julie Hyzy. White House chef tries to solve a murder in the White House.

Any book that revolves around food, even if sad: Making Piece by Beth Howard. A pastry chef mourns her husband's death by making pies and ends up living in the "American Gothic" house in Iowa.

Carol’s Sorghum Flour Blend

1 ½ cups sorghum flour (or brown rice flour)

1 ½ cups potato starch (not potato flour) or cornstarch

1 cup tapioca flour/starch

Whisk together thoroughly and store, tightly covered, in a dark, dry, cool place.

Wondering how to measure flour? Here’s how:

All of the recipes in my books measure dry ingredients by whisking the flour a few times to aerate/fluff it and then lightly spooning it into a measuring cup before leveling it off with a knife. Don’t use the measuring cup as a scoop; you’ll get up to 20% more flour that way and don’t pack the flour down into the cup. Don’t use the glass, spouted measuring cups (which are for liquids) to measure dry ingredients like flour or sugar because you may get more than necessary.

If you use too much flour, your baked goods can be dry and crumbly instead of tender and moist… so measure correctly!
