@Josephcdickerson @StevenDouglasYep. That's the Southern way ("soft" wheat flour).

@Josephcdickerson ABSOLUTELY! Soft red winter wheat ONLY ONLY ONLY if you can get it.Second to that is keeping ALL ingredients FRIGID while preparing - especially the butter - barely thawed before going into the oven. @darulharb

@cultofskaro @Josephcdickerson @darulharb YES. I cut the frozen butter directly into the COLD flour on a large plate to keep them from sticking together. Pea-sized 1/4" dice cubes, each coated in the flour mix.

@StevenDouglas @Josephcdickerson Alton Brown had a trick where he froze the butter and used a grater to make fine shavings, as I recall.

@darulharb @StevenDouglas @Josephcdickerson I was just going to mention this trick, Darul. Wonder if we could grate the frozen butter instead? I’ve done it in my pie crust recipe and it was very flaky.

@darulharb @Josephcdickerson Grating frozen butter into flour works great, and I do it sometimes (especially for pastries where I want more layered pockets), but it is a bit more work, as I just have to constantly toss the flour over the butter every few grating strokes to keep it from recombining. Cutting butter directly into a pile of flour is much easier (for me).

@StevenDouglas @Josephcdickerson @darulharb Ok biscuit bakers, you got me researching about this soft red winter wheat flour. When I checked my cupboard, I found a package of unopened self-rising flour- with an expiration date of 2016 (oops). Should I toss it? I was gonna try it and make buttermilk biscuits this morning (y’all got me craving them now). ❤️

@Linnie @StevenDouglas @Josephcdickerson Pour some out on a plate and dig around in it. If there's nothing crawly that's in it (weevils), it should be all right. Might taste a little stale.

@Linnie @Josephcdickerson @darulharb Self-rising flour is only good for about six months in the pantry, a year if you freeze it.You don't have to toss it, but you do have to treat it as regular flour, as the potency of the added baking powder is definitely gone. Shouldn't affect the flavor all that much. Taste the flour raw with a wet finger dipped into it. If it's bland, nothing strange about it, give it a try, it's probably good. But you'll have to add fresh baking powder.

@darulharb @Linnie @StevenDouglas @Josephcdickerson Along those lines, we got cabinet moths. They can come in in prepackaged grain type foods that are contaminated at the packager. They are a bitch to get rid of.

@darulharb @Linnie @JosephcdickersonBecause they're reactive and constantly exposed to oxygen and *some* heat, all baking powders and baking sodas lose potency over time.Have to keep them fresh.

@StevenDouglas Big thanks. My aunty keeps her baking soda and powder FOR YEARS. I tell her she needs fresh…but she’s a product of the depression and would NEVER throw something away.
