White Lily


Recipe Introduction


For delicious breads that can be made when time is at a premium, choose
flavorful quick breads. These rich breads use baking powder and baking soda as
leavening agents and therefore require no kneading or rising. The South`s
finest cooks choose White Lily All-Purpose Flour for their baking needs. For
over a century, White Lily Flour has been prized for its consistenly high quality
and unique baking characteristics. To eliminate rims around the edges of quick breads, grease baking pans on bottom and only 1/2-inch up sides. Check quick breads 10 to 15 minutes before end of baking time. If browning too fast, cover loosely with foil. For easier slicing and better flavor, cover and store quick breads overnight before serving.
