Following our dense pancake fiasco, I don't recommend substituting AP for cake flour. As for substitutions, 1 cup plus 2 T cake flour can substitute for 1 cup of AP flour in a pinch. I alternately see two brands: Swans Down and Pillsbury Softasilk. The resulting pancakes were disastrous, a far cry from the light and fluffy breakfast we enjoy so much.Ĭake flour is available in the baking aisle of any grocery store. My recipe calls for 2 cups of cake flour we used one cup of cake flour and one cup of AP. We were making pancakes and she only had half the amount of cake flour needed. I had the opportunity to do some cooking in my sister's kitchen recently and rediscovered how a simple substitution can radically alter a recipe. I know of no company who produces a more natural cake flour. Chlorinating cake flour serves to further break down the gluten. Pastry flour has a similarly low protein content as cake flour but it's not chlorinated. On the opposite end of the spectrum is bread flour - a higher protein/gluten flour that gives bread and bagels their chewiness. The reduced gluten (protein) yields a lighter, more tender crumb. So, what's the difference? Cake flour has less protein than AP flour, in fact the lowest protein content of all four flours in my pantry. In addition to kitchen standard flour - AP - I highly recommend keeping cake flour. It's not necessary for the average home baker to keep four white flours. I've since labeled them to reduce confusion. I had four types of white flour in unmarked containers: all purpose (AP), pastry, cake and bread flour. My children's babysitter had a hard time baking in my house when the kids wanted to make cookies. While I support Intelligentsia’s move isn’t Zell’s statement an admission that up until now they have been purveyors of jug wine? To distinguish themselves from their competitors they should have eschewed the venti from the start. With 7-Eleven and Starbucks both within shooting distance of the Tribune Tower, the editors will have no problem scoring their caffeine fix. There will always be a market for jug wine, Super Big Gulps, and super-sized, debt-riddled multimedia/entertainment corporations (maybe not the last one). (Note: Intelligentsia's Zell is of no relation to the Tribune's Zell.) I struggled to see how the news merited an editorial (because it doesn’t). I thought about Intelligentsia’s motive after reading an editorial in the Tribune which bemoaned the decision on grounds that, “You wouldn't like us when we're not caffeinated,” and called for a resurrection of the 20-ounce cup. Intelligentsia wants to stay classy and leave the Biggie Coffee to Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald’s. My first reaction to the news was the equivalent of a high-five to Zell. Quoth Intelligentsia founder Doug Zell, "Drinking our coffee is not like drinking jug wine." Enjoy! Read Full PostĬhicago's Intelligencia Coffee made news recently when they announced plans to phase out 20-ounce coffee and espresso drinks. Once the popping has slowed remove from the heat and transfer kettle corn into serving bowl. When the popcorn begins to pop, begin to shake the pot without stopping until the popping slows (this prevents the sugar from burning). When the sugar is dissolved (after 2 minutes or so) add the popcorn. Add the sugar, salt and oil to a large pot (mine is a stainless steel stockpot that is used only for popping corn) and place over medium heat. Have ready a serving bowl and two oven mitts or potholders. I make regular stove top popcorn with just canola oil and a lot of salt (cover the bottom of the pot with oil, add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of popcorn kernels, pop over medium/medium-high heat, dump into a large serving bowl and douse generously with table salt). It's way bigger than we need it to be (look for something around 6 quarts if you decide to become a popcorn fanatic like me) but we REALLY like popcorn. It's just a stainless steel stock pot - about 10 quarts. I got our present one at Target, I think. We've always had a dedicated popcorn pot (we also have an electric popper but I don't care much for the popcorn it produces). I've been tinkering with it at home ever since and have settled on a recipe replicated all over the internets. It was at one of the town park concerts, possibly Widespread Panic, the year a monsoon hit about three songs into the first set causing flooding, the ruin of many a Birkenstock, and the cancellation of the show (WP generously entertained everyone with three sets and an encore the following night).Īnyway, the popcorn was awesome - with a perfect sweet and salty crust. The first time I ate kettle corn was in Telluride, Colorado.
