Ingredients

• ✓ cake flour
• baking powder
• salt
• butter
• buttermilk
• butter

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
2. 2 Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add unsalted butter and mix at medium speed until well incorporated and mixture resembles wet sand, about 4 minutes.
3. 3 Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in buttermilk until dough sticks together.
4. 4 Dump dough onto a flour work surface; pat into a rectangle. Pat remaining dry crumbs into mixture by hand.
5. 5 Cut dough in half with a floured bench knife; stack cut halves on top of each other. Press layers together to about 1 1/2-inch thickness, shaping a long rectangle as you go. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
6. 6 Cut dough into 8 even squares with the bench knife. Cut off uneven edges and put these scraps to the side; clean cuts on all sides will encourage rise. Pat scraps together to make 1 odd-shaped ninth biscuit.
7. 7 Place biscuits close together in a 9-inch square pan and brush with melted salted butter. Place pan on top of the warm stove for 10 to 15 minutes to rise.
8. 8 Bake biscuits in the preheated oven, checking halfway through bake time, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 18 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ cake flour
• buttermilk
• pumpkin puree
• egg
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• butter
• pumpkin pie spice
• baking soda
• baking powder

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until blended. Whisk in melted butter.

Ingredients

• ✓ cake flour
• bread flour
• salt
• white sugar
• butter
• water
• lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, stir together the cake flour, bread flour, salt and white sugar. Stir in the chunks of butter so that each one is completely coated in flour. Combine the cold water and lemon juice; stir into the bowl while lightly tossing the ingredients to moisten them evenly. Gather the dough into a ball.
2. 2 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Keep the edges as square as possible. The dough will look terrible, but don't worry, it will shape up. Fold the dough into thirds like a business letter, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. 3 Place the dough on the floured work surface and turn at a 90 degree angle from the last time you rolled it out. Roll again into a rectangle again and fold into thirds. If the dough is still cold and manageable, rotate and roll again, then fold into thirds, or refrigerate and continue in 30 minutes. Finish by rolling the dough out to the size of a baking sheet. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet and wrap in plastic. refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
4. 4 To use, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes with a sharp knife. Use as directed in recipes calling for puff pastry, or alternatively, enclose desired fillings and bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven until puffed and golden brown.

Instructions

1. 1 Position rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch round layer pan and line with a parchment circle.
2. 2 In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter to almost boiling. Set aside.
3. 3 Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a triple sifter. Set aside.
4. 4 Beat the eggs on medium-high speed in an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a whip attachment for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, taking about 4-5 minutes to blend it in well. Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally. The mixture will thicken and turn light yellow in color.
5. 5 Reduce mixer speed to medium. Add the vanilla, then pour in the hot milk IN A STEADY STREAM, taking about 10 seconds. Immediately add the dry ingredients all at once, and beat just until blended, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat 10 seconds. The batter will be very thin. Remove the bowl from the mixer and quickly pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. 6 Bake 30-35 minutes, or until the cake begins to come away from the sides of pan and is golden brown and springy to the touch.
7. 7 Set on a cake rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around the sides of the pan to loosen. Invert pan onto the rack sprayed with nonstick coating and peel off the parchment paper. Invert again to finish cooling right-side up. Store the plain sponge layer under a glass dome or covered with aluminum foil at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze.

Instructions

1. 1 Coat a lamb cake mold with vegetable oil; let sit for a few minutes then wipe clean with a paper towel. Then grease and flour your mold, making sure to get all the little areas.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift cake flour, then sift again with baking powder and salt; set aside.
3. 3 Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add cake flour mixture alternately with milk, stirring the batter until smooth after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
4. 4 Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form; fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cake batter to lighten it, then quickly fold in remaining whites.
5. 5 Fill face-side of the mold with batter. Gently move a wooden spoon through the batter to remove any air pockets, without disturbing the greased and floured surface of the mold. Put the lid on the mold, securely locking or tying it together so the steam and rising batter do not force the two sections apart. Place onto a cookie sheet.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer or wooden toothpick inserted through a steam vent comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer the mold to a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then carefully remove the top of the mold. Let the bottom of the cake cool in the mold until all the steam escapes and the cake firms up, about 5 more minutes. Remove the rest of the mold and let the cake cool completely. For best results, do not sit the cake upright until completely cooled.
7. 7 Frost cooled lamb cake with your favorite white frosting using a star tip to create texture on the body. Add jelly beans for the eyes, and place on a bed of green coconut grass.
