THE SKILLET PANTRY
One of the most rewarding aspects of writing this book was that it gave me an excuse to play around with different kinds of flours, sugars, and fats. They’ve become integral to my baking and are now staples in my kitchen. I hope you’re equally won over by them. Here are my favorite brands and sources.
