I guess. I was just surprised to hear her giving advice like that and it
NOT being something I'd told her in the first place. I thought she was
mis-remembering advice for something like quickbread, but I didn't want to
correct her without a good reason (she is easily crushed that way). Since
Bear has actually seen a pastry recipe with baking powder, she could have
too. There's always piles of my own cookbooks and those from the public
library around here. She must have noted a recipe that I didn't.
4 recipes of Pastry for the coming holiday are already made, but I said we'd
try this out at Christmas.
Bonne
