Some packages will say on them.  I went ahead and looked at the King Arthur website and their self rising flour is soft wheat.

Thanks, I'll read labels and website info from now on.

Bow bow bow...
Ummm... the other day I had a ricochet biscuit. A ricochet biscuit is the
kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce back off the wall into your
mouth. If it don't bounce back, hee hee hee, ... you go hungry!

Milk is fine for me because I don't like a fluffy biscuit. I want it flat and hard so I can toast it and put gravy on it. Bisquick makes a decent biscuit when you are on the road.
Any gravy is made better by adding a little tomato to it. Fresh or crushed works. Not too much. Enough where people will say "If I didn't know better, I'd say that someone added a little tomato to this gooood gravy".  :thud: It's especially good with chicken milk gravy. It's better than sex and not half as messy,

My Mother did that - adding a little tomato to the gravy.  She also made tomato gravy.  Another thing, along with shortbread and cornbread and buttermilk, that I get a craving for.

For me, it's coffee. Even in the gravy for a beef roast, drop a half a cup of coffee into the pan to deglaze. It adds a wonderful deep tone to gravy, not to mention color.

I'm confused about the adding of tomato to cream gravy.  What is the form of the tomato that is added?

You're kidding, right?  Nobody (except maybe my SIL from Kentucky) puts ketchup in cream gravy?

And, I don't know that she does.  Since she doesn't cook, probably not.

No, no, NO!

Crappy white bread
Butter
Then Baloney.
Then crappy American cheese.
Then dill pickle slices
Then mayo on the top bread.

Requires potato chips. or maybe cheetos.

Catsup.

No.  Not how my Mom did it.  A little tomato paste or some tomato juice.  She froze tomato paste in ice cube trays.

For tomato gravy, butter, flour milk and smashed up tomatoes.  A little soy sauce or  Gravy Master or something like that.

Grandpa was from SE Georgia and ate tomato gravy on his grits, but no thank you.

You only think it's substandard bread because you're using nasty northern flour to make em.

My brother nixed expanding his pizza & sub business out of Western New York and into the Washington, DC region because of the PH quality of the local water.

He claims there's no way to duplicate the pizza crust using DC water.   :shrug:

I'm wondering if it affects the biscuits too!   :laugh:
