All the time-I don't buy self rising stuff.. I prefer to add my own leavening agents. I use only Aluminum free baking powder.
All purpose
Bread flour
pastry flour
all three are what I keep in stock and I have wheat berries that I grind when I want whole wheat.. even tho I do sometimes keep a bit of whole wheat on hand.
I use Rumford Baking Powder it is aluminum free. I think clabbergirl is too but not 100% sure..
I try to buy only King Arther Flours. but have been buying sam's club off and on and it states that it is Kosher and usually that is really good due to the very strict Kosher laws.
Plus due to cost prohibitive sizes and having to be shipped I pretty much had to buy sams.. it is pretty good.
I did see that our local wally world has started to sell 25lb bags of hard white wheat berries and soft white wheat berries for about $14.. Am thinking of running by there and picking some up.. the last time I got whole wheat berries(hard spring red) it was almost $2 a pound!
Just stopped by the walmart in our other nearest town and they had the hard white and hard red berries right next to the flour on the bottom shelf.. may have to pick some up.
I have used my coffee grinder when in a hurry- usually about 1/2 cup at a time. But only if I am just putting a bit of whole wheat into things... Hubby told me that I can buy a bag next friday when I go to the store.
Why I look for Kosher on my flours is due to the fact that anything from a human being is considered none kosher except for breastmilk as fed to babies from the breast.... (many Jewish friends when I was younger and I also have Jewish relatives got to learn many interesting stuff.)
Unless the Rabbi in charge of watching and making sure that the standards are being kept is slacking, there should be no "human derived" ingredients.
