Corn Flour vs Brown Rice Flour
Comments (14)Oh, no! Bad sentence on my part. Southern California. We had a wonderful Syrian bakery that made brilliant pita. I still miss them. My heart breaks for what has happened there, but I've never been to Syria. You haven't said why you're eschewing "enriched flour" and don't need to, but white flour products are required by law to use vitamin enriched flour, and even most home baking white flour (bleached or unbleached) is enriched and has a little malted barley flour in it as well, which has a lot of an enzyme that's needed for rising. Unless you have a specific problem with one or more of the vitamins or the barley, the enrichment shouldn't be a problem. Maybe you're just concerned that there's white flour in there. White flour is often added to whole wheat flour to make the rise spongier. Sometimes vital wheat gluten is added to strengthen the gluten (the bran in the whole wheat can weaken or cut it). Wheat gluten can be isolated by hand by washing the wheat and kneading out the starch, and has been done for centuries, so it's not a weird industrial product. Anything that's made with white flour in the U.S. uses enriched flour. There may be some places that mill and sift their own flours that do not, but that's an extremely rare exception. Therefore, I would guarantee that the Lebanese pita are made with enriched flour. The thinner thing is probably a lack of leavening. Even in the Middle East, nowadays, the pita have leavening and are a bit spongy. That's not traditional. :) I haven't seen Kontos, and I'd guess it's an East Coast brand. I don't doubt that it's good! Whole Foods might be a better place to get 100% whole wheat, however, unless you can find a Middle Eastern or halal store where people are into the "new" kind of dietary laws (no white flour, pasture raise livestock, etc.). Maybe try stores near the colleges? College kids tend to be into better eating. Turlock is from California. I know they freeze to ship it to avoid preservatives, so you might find it there, but more likely the Whole Foods have something local. Good luck on your quest....See MoreLooking for help with meal planning for a senior
Comments (20)Giia everyone has made great suggestions re: chewing meat, nuts and seeds, dietary issues, fresh vs freezing. You will have varying factors to which you will have to adapt the meals. Also herbs and spices can be issue, either the elders can't tolerate them or their taste buds are such that they want more seasoning. You'll figure it out as you go. Amck, God bless you for helping your parents. Helping my elderly family was very rewarding and yes frazzling at times. (The whole "tour of duty" lasted a span of 15 years culminating with my Dad moving in with us for his last 7 years. Yup 22 years total. Oh and I worked full time. Whew!) My aunts and uncles either never married or did not have children and I'm an only child so I became the caregiver for 6 elderly folks all at the same time. They were all very appreciative which made it so much easier. The Drs. appt's, weekly medicine set up, cooking, interviewing and overseeing housekeepers made it hectic. Cooking for them was my favorite part but I gave up my whole day every Sunday to do it. The bonus was I didn't have to cook for my family all week since the meals were already made. My kids were little so we made a game out of it and they learned to cook. At the end of the day we would "visit" all the relatives while we delivered the meals. I wouldn't change a thing! I'm very fortunate that my in-laws were younger at the time and even now are spry at 80 and 83 and self sufficient. When the time comes, we'll do it again for them....See MoreRECIPE: Corn bread recipe that is not sweet.
Comments (14)This is delicious from the Irondale/Whistlestop Cafe in Birmingham, al. 1 ý teaspoons baking powder 2 ý teaspoons vegetable oil 2 ý teaspoons melted butter 2 beaten eggs 1 ý cups fat free cultured buttermilk 1 ý cups whole milk 1 ý cups self- rising white cornmeal 1 ý cups self- rising White Lily flour Combine all ingredients and mix well. Let batter rest under refrigeration for 1-2 hours. Pour batter into a well buttered 9ÃÂ13 pan. Bake at 350 degree in convection oven for 17 to 20 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Brush top liberally with melted butter. Can also bake in a pre-heated, cast iron skillet for a dark and crunchy bottom crust....See MoreLOOKING for: 'Heavy' Corn Bread Recipe
Comments (13)this is cornbread from Georgia ... it should be cooked in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. NO sugar. NO flour. Use buttermilk. Make sure the skillet is smoking hot before you pour the batter. If you're lucky the batter will push the shortening up and over the outside edge forming a delicious 1/2" crust all the way around. Southern Corn Bread Serves 8 Yanks, 4 Rebs. Source: White Lily. (I do not use the sugar.) 2 cups White Lily cornbread mix (white, self-rising) 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 1/4 cup melted Crisco 1 egg lightly beaten 1 to 2 tbsps sugar (optional) Preheat well-greased 8 or 10" iron skillet in 425°F oven. Blend all ingredients, stirring just until moistened. The batter should be lumpy and rather thin. Pour into HOT skillet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes for 10" skillet or 25 to 30 minutes for 8" skillet or 8x8x2' pan. Serve hot with butter. White Lily mix is not avilable in my area. If you can't import the real stuff from the deep South, substitute a stone-ground, self-rising WHITE cornbread mix. Better yet, order the real stuff from www.whitelily.com Remember Southern cornmeal is ground from white corn and Southern cornbread is nothing like sweet Northern cake-like cornbread. It's even less like North Carolina cornbread which is similar to very sweet spoonbread which has collapsed....See More- 8 years ago
