It's maybe half a dozen entries down in the yellow and blue can with the biscuits pictured on the front. It has a very long life, but when it has sodium bicarb added the lifespan will be much shorter (the plain label). You can add the sodium bicarb (required) when you mix the dry ingredients. In the blue/yellow label the shelf life is measured in years and not months.
Gary, I also added a few TBLs of non-instant dry milk to the mix for the biscuits pictured. No other changes to the recipe on the box, not even more water, whoops, I used butter and not shortening. Use all purpose flour. The die I used to cut them is a Philadelphia whipped cream cheese container. I also used an Italian flour that I'm trying to get rid of, I prefer home ground soft white wheat, but I need to use up this flour. It worked; so will AP flour.
Did you check out the history of the Bakewell Cream? Interestingly it's good stuff for a wartime substitute. For biscuits it's better than anything else I've ever used. It's also made approx' 60 miles from where I live.
OK, on to Tuesdays cooking for Wednesdays consumption...
As I write I have a chuck arm roast, a piece of beef mostly spherical and weighing approx' 2.5#, in the SousVide bath @132°F and it will be in there for 24-36 hours. So it will be ready for Wednesdays supper. It will get the brushed solution/torch routine to brown it and produce the taste from the Maillard reaction, and the bag juices will be turned into gravy. If not gravy, then I'll save them for soup. The bag juices taste fantastic. We've never cooked this cut before, so it's an experiment. I have 3 more of them in the freezer. The instructions say to roast it in the oven, and if that will work SV should also, but with better (more tender) results. It will emerge from the bath a perfect med rare from edge to edge with no grey meat except the
umeter of what's seen from the outside. Directly out of the bag it's also not very appealing, but it isn't eaten directly from the bag. Pix if I remember.
