Re: [CnD] Measuring flour by volume or by weight?
I tend to measure or weigh the flour, depending on the recipe I'm using.

I will say that when I do weigh my flour with a scale, I don't need to add near as much extra flour or liquid to a recipe, maybe just a little drib or drab, so for me, it does seem a bit more accurate than using the cups. Fortunately, many recipes give you both cup and weight measurements. It's the ones that don't that give me fits.

[CnD] Easy Any Pie Filling Cobbler
My baby sister turned me on to this cobbler and it is fabulous!! I made it with caramel apple filling, but you can use any canned filling you wish. You'll be sooo surprised! I don't have a 9x9 pan, so I used an 8x8 and it worked out just fine. If I were taking it to a pot luck or something, I'd double it and use a 9x13 and maybe add about 15-20 minutes baking time, What do you think? where it says about how you put in the filling, I wasn't that careful, I just slopped it in and it was fine. Easy Any Pie-Filling Cobbler 1 2 cup butter, melted 1 cup sugar 3 4 cup flour 1 2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 3 4 cup milk 1 (15 ounce) can pie filling (flavor of your choice) Melt butter in 9 x 9 baking dish. Mix sugar, flour, salt and baking powder. Add milk and mix well. Pour batter into melted butter; do not stir. Pour pie filling into batter dropping by spoonsful several in the middle and then divide the rest to corners and sides. Do not stir. Bake at dg350 for min50-60 or until golden brown. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
