All-Purpose Flour

[Grubby]

I was watching Martha and she was talking about all-purpose

flour being hard to find in the grocery stores.

 

I didn't think anything about it.

 

I went to buy all-purpose flour and they were stocking

a lot more self-rising!

 

Will they stop selling it altogether?

 

I'm not fond of 100% whole wheat. My preference is

3/4 white to 1/4 wheat.

 

What are people using self-rising for? Biscuits? Anything

else?

 

Has anyone else noticed this change?

[MommyofSeven]

No, but I am planning a huge shopping trip tomorrow so will let you know. That blows, I hate self rising. Hard to use in cakes and breads and such, I think.

I dont seem to have to much of a problem here finding all purpose flour. Maybe that will change soon...hmm another thing to get bigger stocks of.

[Schoolmarm]

I am not having any problems as of yet. Maybe I need to

get some more as well.

Two weeks ago....

 

self-rising had a row and all-purpose had a whole shelf.

 

now....

 

it's just the opposite and they have changed their labels.

(I shop Save-A-Lot)

 

When I buy flour I buy six at a time. I don't usually

make a dent in their flour but this time I took 1/2 of

their stock!

I really hope that isnt going to be the trend. I dont really care for self rising flour. I used to shop at Save A Lot when I was in Clarksville/Ft.Campbell area. Couldnt beat their prices.

[MommyofSeven]

OK...a/p and s/r were about normal, although s/r seemed to have a bit more space than normal. There was, however, NO whole wheat flour. Not even space on a shelf where it should have been. Looks like they're not carrying that at all.

We just bought some all purpose at Sam's a few weeks ago when we were in Fargo. I haven't checked at the local stores.

I just looked in my grocery store and they had the usual amounts...perhaps it was a shipping delay or something...

 

I am buying less and less commercial flour and grinding more and more of my own. I'm doing all my desserts (cookies, etc) with soft white wheat freshly ground and lemme tell you, there is a definite taste and texture difference that makes you appreciate the wholesomeness and healthy aspects of it.

i have been wondering what the difference between white flour and unbleached flour is. the look the same to me!
