      made biscuits using Purple Straw flour

      make a southern type biscuit using the recipe on the White Lily Flour recipe for southern biscuits except i used the Purple Straw flour instead. they were delicious i have altered the recipe that i use for biscuits by adding 1/2 tsp of baking soda and increased the amount of Crisco. plan on making the Muddy Pond Molasses Cookie using the Purple Straw flour instead of using a white flolour

      Purple Straw Flour

      I bought a number of different flours from Barton Springs Mill recently. So far the only one I've tried is the Purple Straw flour. I made a milk loaf (my own recipe) with it in a quality bread-maker. The Purple Straw flour was 150 grams, the organic bread flour was 150 grams, the semolina was 200 grams. There was 450 grams of milk and other ingredients, only a half teaspoon of yeast. It came out beautifully, it may be the best loaf I've produced recently. The crumb is nice and moist, it rose to perfection. Taste? Wonderful! I'm delighted with this and previous products that I've bought from Barton Springs Mill.

      Delicious Oatmeal Cookies

      I included the Purple Straw flour in my bundle because of wanting to use a Colonial Era flour; and along with the Tam flour, produced the delicious oatmeal cookies from the BSM website. Interested in using it solo for something, so will do so in the near future!
