Preparing for this post was interesting.  Do you know how many different recipes there are for an "all-purpose" mix?  Each one has a slight twist; a little more of this or a little less of that.  Really, I think one would have[...]

As part of last month's Daring Baker's challenge, we were asked to make homemade graham crackers as well as the baked dessert chosen.  Well,  I will never buy graham crackers again.   Although at first, the texture[...]
