PANCAKES

2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Beat egg with hand beater until fluffy; beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. Grease a heated griddle.
Pour about 3 tablespoons batter from tip of large spoon or from pitcher onto hot griddle.

Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges (tiny bubbles will begin to form).

Turn and cook other sides until golden brown. Flipping once should be enough. The first pancake isn't always the best one.

BUTTER COOKIES

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg, unbeaten
2 2/3 cups flour

Using an electric mixer at medium speed, cream together butter and sugar, adding sugar gradually. While mixing, add egg, sprinkle in salt and vanilla. Beat well to combine.
Stir in flour and mix only until flour is incorporated - do not over mix.

Ashley Said:

can wheat flour be substituted for enriched white flour in recipes?

We Answered:

Yes! My mom went through this faze when I was younger and substituted wheat flour for white flour. It's a lot healthier and it does have a little of that sandy texture to it but usually whatever you make with it it will taste really good still. hope this helps:)

# 250g plain flour, sifted

# 100-150ml ice-cold water

Filling:
# 200g chicken meat, diced
# 1 Bombay onion, diced
# 100g button mushrooms, quartered
# 75g potatoes, parboiled till cooked and diced
# 75g carrots, diced
# 50g celery, diced
# 50g green peas
# 1 tin cream of mushroom soup, diluted with 1 tin of water

Seasoning:
# 1 tsp oyster sauce
# 1 tsp light soy sauce
# Dash of white and black pepper
# 1/4 cube chicken stock
# Pinch of salt

Thickening (combine):
# 1 tbsp corn flour
# 2 tbsp water

For egg glaze or wash, beat:
# 1 egg yolk
# 1 tsp water
# Pinch of salt

Method
To make flaky pastry: Place flour, salt and butter in a mixing bowl. Mix till fine crumbs form. Add ice water and lime juice to bind. Knead lightly. Chill for 30 to 40 minutes.

Put dough on a lightly-floured surface and roll into an oblong shape, 38cm x 14cm. Cut pastry margarine into small pieces. Spread half the pastry margarine pieces on the centre of the rectangle.

Fold the left side of the rectangle to cover these margarine pieces. Dot or spread the remaining pastry margarine pieces on top of the fold. Then fold the right side of the rectangle to cover these magarine pieces.

Press the edges well to seal and roll out the pastry into a rectangle. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Repeat this process two times then roll out pastry into a rectangle again. Cut pastry into rounds. Use one piece to line a tart mould. Add filling and egg wash the rim, then cover with another piece of round pastry. Egg wash the top and bake in a preheated oven at 220Â°C for 25 minutes.

To make filling: Heat 1 tbsp butter in wok, then saute onions until soft. Add chicken and button mushrooms. Stir-fry well. Add carrots, celery, potatoes and cream of mushroom soup. Blend in seasoning. Cook for two to three minutes. Add thickening and green peas. Dish out to cool.

For variation: Brush four ramekins with melted butter. Spoon filling into prepared ramekins. Cut four circles of pastry slightly larger than the tops of the ramekins, and make a small slit in the centre of each with a sharp knife.

Place circles over the fillings and press the rims to seal. Brush with egg glaze and bake in a preheated oven at 220Â°C for 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry turns golden brown.

Mattie Said:

Can I substitute whole wheat flour for white flour in most cookie recipes?

We Answered:

I regularly substitute whole-wheat pastry flour for white flour in baked-goods recipes (cookies, cakes, muffins, etc.). The pastry flour is much lighter than regular whole-wheat flour, so it doesn't affect the texture and flavor as much.

Joel Said:

What flour can I use in recipes to replace Almond Flour?

We Answered:

Oat flour would probably work best. My second choice would be the soy flour.

Almond Flour is almost the same as ground almonds. You could make your own - grind the slivered almonds yourself using a clean spice grinder. (Using the food processor results into an oily almond paste, not a powdery result like flour.) I would suggest grinding them using the spice grinder which produces a comparable almond flour product.

Good luck!
