Why don't scones made with self-raising flour rise properly?
I make them with self-raising flour, and follow recipes by experts. I see them on Youtube and they rise nicely. Mine just don't. Is it because we're having a heatwave?

1 AnswerYouTube5 years agoNon-Catholic Christians: How often does your denomination take communion?
I was surprised when an American Christian friend told me her denomination takes communion only once a year. I quote from her email: "Baptists, Lutherans and Methodists take communion once a year at Easter." Is this correct, or is it just in her area? Where I live in Europe it is at least once a month, in some churches every Sunday.

I grew up in the US and we used all purpose flour for everything. Now I live in S. Europe and I find the cake flour sold here produces cakes that are rather dry. I want to make cinnamon rolls; should I try using "strong" flour, since they contain yeast?

There's a "study" that says this...that when a man shares a bed he prefers the side nearest the door. Is there any truth in this?
BQ: What side do you tend to sleep turned toward, your left or your right?
BQ2: Would you change to accomodate your partner's preference? I mean, if they insisted on sleeping on "your side of the bed" would you change over for them?
