Ross's Maryland Bakery
...interesting thought, Ross. They say, though, that wheat flour was not commonly used in Mexican tortillas until the Tex-Mex craze took off in the 60's. Do you think a crepe could be made with 100% corn meal? (...perhaps your next challenge?)
My friends in Queretaro, where Emperor Maximillian was shot, will be interrogated. (...probably a bit late, but...) Meanwhile, did you know that "Cinco de Mayo" actually commemorates the defeat of the French army by the Mexicans? ...and later, the triumph of marketing over actual history!
Best wishes to you and especially to Nancy,

Experience - the ability to instantly recognize a mistake when you make it again.
It has been two months since I had anything worth saying.
I have been making baking powder biscuits since I was a kid. Last night I tried a method I have seen others discussing. I used the normal 2 cups of flour, Tablespoon of baking powder, teaspoon of salt. But instead of adding fat I used heavy whippy cream as the source of the fat and the liquid. adding enough cream to make a workable dough. They made the best (and most expensive) biscuits I have ever made.
