Book Reviews of Baking For Dummies

Book Review: Fills in SO MANY blanks and questions
Summary: 5 Stars

I watched my grandmother make biscuits (lard vs Crisco, sorry) using her hands to grab a bunch of this, a splash of that, a dollop of the other. She squeezed the dough, and rolled it, and placed it perfectly into a pan.

And I beheld her biscuits, and ate them; and they were goooood.

This book introduces, step by step, the correct measures, the pastry cutter, the finer points of biscuit making, the things my grandmother knew instinctively, distilled into easy-to-follow directions.

Yes, this is a textbook, an easy-to-follow journey through the maze of what makes good stuff in the oven. Oh, including her apple-jacks, pan fried wonders of apple goodness in flaky crusts. Pardon while my eyes glaze over.

From reading this book I have made biscuits that rival Grandma's, and apple jacks, and other things; that is all I need to say.
