Cooking Tip

Keep rolls or breads warm at the table with this OLD trick: Line your bread basket with foil, shiny side out. Drape a towel over that over that, and snug the bread inside. ( Source: King Features -G.R. in Wisconsin)

Baking Tip

Here's a fun way to spend a weekend morning  :)  Making pancakes or waffles!!  Make a double( or triple, or more) batch, and make several varieties- blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, walnuts, strawberry, even pumpkin! Lay them out in layers and let cool.  Stack separated with freezer paper in the freezer.  They can be microwaved or toasted in min. for an easy weekend breakfast. (Source: King Features)


Baking Tip

Self-rising flour or all- purpose? There's actually a pretty easy way to tell which is which. Self-rising flour has baking soda added to it, which tastes salty. If you're facing a canister of flour and the recipe calls for all-purpose, give it a taste. If it's self-rising, omit any baking soda added to your recipe.( Source: King Features)
