Gluten Free Flour

When I make gluten-free recipes that require flour, my go-to flour is Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Flour by Bob’s Red Mill. It is made of garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, whole grain white sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and fava bean flour, and the finished dish is a lot tastier than a simple quick homemade gluten-free flour mix of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch. I highly recommend it, and I used this flour in Gluten-Free Korean Veggie Pancake recipe....

How To Store Butter Properly

Preparation If butter is your bliss, learning how to properly store it for taste, freshness, and safety may surprise you. Keep these things in mind when deciding where to stash those golden bars. Consider the type of butter (salted or unsalted), the climate (kitchen temperature), and the type of container (dish or crock). Most commercially produced butter is pasteurized, which is a process that combats bacteria for safety.

These Japanese Inspired Centerpieces Are The Florals Your Minimalist Wedding Needs

Enter ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, which is marked by its minimalist, structural style. A true ikebana arrangement is full of nuanced meaning, but most designs have three focal points at varying heights to represent heaven, earth, and humankind. Martha Stewart Weddings style director Naomi deMañana created these variations, which show how an ikebana arrangement can go with the aesthetic of any wedding....

Want A Picture Perfect Pie These Two Finishing Touches Make All The Difference

Preparation A wash is essential to give pies a burnished crust. You can always use a whole beaten egg mixed with a little water for a medium-gold gloss. Or try one of these alternatives: Heavy cream leaves a natural, light-golden color with a matte finish. Egg yolk contains more fat and less water than a whole beaten egg, resulting in a rich, dark color and a dramatic sheen. Egg white has more water than fat, which provides a pale-golden color and a lustrous glaze....
