LOL great tip. Bless Aunt Inga haha
This is AWESOME! I vote that Aunt Inga is from MN/ND. (If I win can I get on the list to preorder your cookbook?! 🙂
lol— I so needed a laugh— please let Aunt Inga be around more!
Loved Aunt Inga. More please.
Hysterical! Watched it twice.
OMgoats, I could never pull that off, I would have been laughing the whole time. Great job! Toooo funny.
how great is that? Now I don’t need to have two containers of flour.
Way too funny – it even made my dog bark! The “recipe” I use for homemade cake flour is from Rose Levy Berenbaum, but it requires a little math and works best with weight versus volume: 85% all-purpose flour and 15% cornstarch (e.g., if you needed 1000g of cake flour you would use 850g AP and 150g cornstarch). Even in delicate white cake it works beautifully.
I always listen to Aunt Inga! lol she is hilarious!! thanks for the tip too……Aunt Inga shared it with me a few months ago and saved me a trip to the store!!
OMG!! I Looooooooove Aunt Inga!!
