Hi Dave,

No, but we have all kinds of wierd names for food, some of it very
regional. Soda, pop, co-cola and tonic water all describe the same drink
as do sub, hoagie, grinder and torpedo the same kind of sandwich. Also,
slump, grunt, cobbler and betty are all used for a similar dessert.
DD> 6 c A-P flour *

DD> 1/4 c Sugar
DD> 2 ts Salt
DD> 2 c Lard or Crisco shortening

I do a baking mix that's 100% whole wheat flour that works out well for
me, maybe because I've used whole wheat flour for so long. May try
incorporating some whole wheat pastry flour next time I make it. Mine
also includes dry milk but no sugar.
