Isolation Baking

From everything I read, there is lots of baking going on while folks are staying at home and doing their own cooking. Baking is evidently a big part of that. Our daughter-in-law asked for bread recipes and received some and found others for herself and is going to town: cinnamon rolls and several kinds of bread.

We, on the other hand, have stayed with what we know. Dean has baked biscuits. I have baked banana bread and cornbread. Traditional standards around our house. Here's the interesting part. Our grocery store has been out of baking powder for weeks. Some recipes do without it or use baking soda. And No, you cannot substitute one of those for the other!! Other recipes need baking powder.

Dean finally decided to order some from Amazon. Why not? He bought flour and buttermilk in anticipation of biscuits and they have lived up to their reputation. I think we will have enough baking powder for a long time and a lot of biscuits.

The usual little can of baking powder holds 8.1 ounces.

Our new bag is 2.5 pounds!!! Heheheh - that's a Lot of baking powder.

Even baking has its adventurous side during isolation.
